Secrest Teen Center Pass

The Secrest Recreation Center Teen Center is a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community space for youth to gather, socialize, and recreate. The best way to gain access to the fun is with the new Teen Center Pass. Teens will have access Monday through Friday from 2-6 pm to use the fitness center, gymnasium, and Teen Center (which features air hockey, pool table, Pop-A-Shot, video games, and daily activities). The pass also includes a weight room orientation (orientation is required to be completed before teens can use the weight room). This is an annual pass for the school year that is valid from August-May.
