Aurora Recreation Center opened as a brand new facility serving Aurora and surrounding communities with state-of-the-art recreational amenities. Located at 126 W. Hadley Street, this modern center combines fitness facilities, sports courts, and event spaces to meet diverse community recreational needs through comprehensive programming and membership options.
The recreation center features three distinct fitness and exercise spaces designed to accommodate various workout preferences and fitness levels. The facility includes modern exercise equipment and maintains clean, well-organized workout environments that support individual fitness goals.
An elevated indoor walking track provides climate-controlled exercise opportunities year-round, complemented by an outdoor walking path that encircles the entire property for those preferring outdoor exercise options.
A multipurpose court accommodates basketball, volleyball, and pickleball activities, providing versatile space for both recreational play and organized programming. The court design supports multiple sports configurations and can host leagues, tournaments, and casual play sessions.
Adult pickleball leagues operate with matches played on Thursday evenings, featuring league play followed by seeded single-elimination tournaments. The facility’s court setup supports both individual and team registration options.
Youth flag football leagues serve children from Pre-K through 2nd grade, with registration typically opening in late July and games beginning in early September. Practices and games are structured to provide age-appropriate athletic development and team participation experiences.
Youth soccer programming accommodates children ages 3-15 through partnerships with the Lawrence County Youth Soccer Association. The program emphasizes skill development and enjoyable participation for players of various experience levels.
Youth basketball leagues serve grades Pre-K through 6th, featuring a seven-week season played at various Aurora School District locations before moving to the recreation center. The program focuses on skill development, teamwork, and creating positive basketball experiences for players of all abilities.
The community room can function as one large space or be partitioned into three smaller rooms depending on event requirements. Community Rooms A and C feature large wall-mounted TVs with presentation capabilities, ceiling sound systems, and HDMI connections for professional presentations.
Community Room B includes a large projector and screen, PTZ-style camera, ceiling sound system, and video-conference capabilities. Audio-visual systems can be linked across two rooms or all three rooms for larger events requiring integrated technology.
Additional rental spaces include a multipurpose room, gymnasium, and conference room, each designed for specific event types and group sizes. All rental spaces maintain modern amenities and professional presentation standards.
Membership options accommodate various community demographics with monthly and yearly payment plans. Youth and senior memberships are priced at $20 monthly or $220 annually, while adult memberships cost $40 monthly or $440 annually.
Household memberships serve up to four family members for $60 monthly or $660 annually, with additional members added at $10 monthly or $110 annually. Senior couple memberships provide specialized pricing for older adult partnerships.
Day passes and 10-punch passes offer flexible access options for occasional users, with youth and senior rates set lower than adult pricing to encourage broad community participation.
Youth ages 12-17 must complete a Youth Code of Conduct Agreement to use the facility without guardian supervision, while children under 12 require legal guardian presence at all times. These policies ensure safe environments and appropriate supervision for all users.
The facility requires customer profiles and liability waivers for all users, managed through the DaySmart Member App system that supports membership management and program registration.
The recreation center provides discounts for veterans, active duty military personnel, and first responders, demonstrating commitment to serving community members who provide public service. Corporate and affiliate programs extend membership benefits to local business employees.
Members receive 10% discounts on room rentals and birthday party packages, plus reduced fees for recreational programming, creating additional value for committed facility users.
Aurora Recreation Center represents significant community investment in modern recreational infrastructure, providing Aurora residents with comprehensive fitness, sports, and event facilities that support healthy, active lifestyles and community engagement opportunities.
