Adults can participate in several weekly programs. At present, the following activities are being offered: an exercise group each Monday, a quilting group each Wednesday, a ball-exercise group and a yoga class each Thursday, and Tot-time each Friday morning, when parents can come and play with their pre-school children. During the summer months, tennis courts and a gazebo are available for individual and family use.
The Center also provides a number of activities for young people, including after-school programs, soccer and baseball, a summer program, and several holiday parties each year.
In addition, the Center serves the community in other ways. Many organizations--such as the Girls Scouts, the Snowmobile Club, and the Gardening Club hold their regular meetings there, and lecturers and entertainers appear there from time to time throughout the year. Wayne residents vote and attend the annual town meeting there.
The Ladd Recreation Center was a gift from Helen and George Ladd, whose goal was to provide a safe and nurturing environment where Wayne residents could participate in and enjoy a variety of high-quality indoor and outside activities throughout the year.
