In 2019 the Palo Alto Park and Recreation Commission created a Recreation Opportunities Ad Hoc Recreation to begin discussion regarding facility needs. To answer the question “what goes in a gym”, the Ad Hoc toured other gyms in the area, talked to city recreation staff about current requests for indoor space that could not be filled, and contacted indoor sports user groups about their needs. Flexible space is critical for multiple sports and wellness programs to accommodate a variety of sports activities and recreation/fitness programs, along with the ability to store sports equipment and easily set up for multiple sports and recreation/wellness programs. Basketball Volleyball Indoor Soccer Badminton Table Tennis Indoor Pickleball Gymnastics Tai Chi Judo Dance Fitness Programs Heart Fit for Life Weightlifting & Exercise Equipment Community Meeting Space Exercise Classes for All Community Suggestions Where will the Recreation Wellness Center be located? Currently discussions are taking place regarding the best location for the Center, based on the criteria developed by the Ad Hoc in cooperation with the City of Palo Alto and utilizing existing available space. Criteria include city control/ownership of the land, easy access by bicycle for all especially youth, current infrastructure and lack of impediments for moving forward to achieve success. https://www.parwc.org/our-board daily 0.75 2024-02-02 https://www.parwc.org/about-us daily 0.75 2023-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640157c3cd86b043d7d461d0/8e8683c1-f6f0-4a60-8f19-f4502cc94b6e/Soccer.jpg About Us - Dedicated to the creation of a world-class sports, recreation and wellness facility.

The Recreation Wellness Center will serve Palo Alto and neighboring communities to ensure lifelong recreation, exercise, wellness for the entire community. We believe that resources exist in Palo Alto to build and operate this Center as a public/private partnership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640157c3cd86b043d7d461d0/ab9e19db-1346-4791-a055-625d37e1d73c/VolleyBall.jpg Home - Finally, a recreational facility built for all in the community… Palo Alto does not have a recreation/gym/wellness center that serves the entire community. There is a lack of available indoor sports and recreation space. The 2017 Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified a gym/recreation/wellness center as one of the top priorities for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the community. https://www.parwc.org/home-1 daily 0.75 2023-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640157c3cd86b043d7d461d0/1677809644035-92P762SFO9CO5DX1DVGN/Robles+Park++Square.jpg Home (Copy) - Get involved — we need your help funding our ongoing and upcoming projects.
