Thank you for supporting the Renaud Center!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our highest priority has been the health and wellness of our community. We carefully rethought how our parks programs and facilities could continue to support our goal of healthy living and family fun while remaining safe for our members, and are proud to have offered socially-distanced versions of your favorite events.

We know it’s been a challenging year, and we wanted to thank you for your continued patronage at the Renaud Center. We’re honored that you have trusted us during this process, and we look forward to safely serving you this spring.

Has your fitness routine been derailed by COVID-19? The Renaud Center has made several changes to safeguard our members, including daily deep cleanings, spaced-out gym equipment and masked staff and fitness instructors. Learn more about becoming a member of our premier recreation facility on page 7.

The programs listed in this brochure are accurate as of press time, but are subject to change due to COVID-19.

Alligator’s Creek re-opens May 29! Turn to page 12 to see this year’s pool activities.
