COMMUNITY TESTIMONIALS
“I have participated in the numerous
Avon Pickleball Leagues as well as the
open play Pickleball on Saturday and
Monday evenings. The programs are
very well organized, are a lot of fun,
and are a meaningful part of my
exercise program and life in general.
Staff do a wonderful job running the
various programs, and I am most
appreciative!” -Rick L.

COMMUNITY TESTIMONIALS
“I have used the rec center on and off for the last 8
years but consistently for the last 2 years. The rec
center basically has given me all the facilities to
improve my health and mind. It’s the reason I have
been in the best shape of my life! I love going there in
the morning because it’s convenient and has everything
you need. The staff are the best part; everyone is so
welcoming! I have met people there that I love seeing
them everyday. The reason I go there is to distract
myself from the outer world and focus on my physical
and mental health.” -Abhi

COMMUNITY TESTIMONIALS
“As soon as our son turned 5 we enrolled him in
Avon Summer camp. The staff is so warm,
caring, and supportive. They really helped a shy
kid make friends and have a great summer.
Three years later our son is still super excited for
Avon Summer Camp. The activities are well
thought out and engaging. A huge thank you to
the Avon Summer Camp for supporting not only
the local kids, but the local working parents as
well” -Debbie H.
