Cool off at the newly renovated Rec Pool—open year-round and now fully Wi-Fi enabled—and check out the many additions, including a new Competition Pool and a sand volleyball court.  This month, RecFest will mark the grand opening of the Rec Pool and ARC with giveaways, food, games and fun, plus a live DJ.
