Message from the Department: We are excited to announce that the construction of the Wentzville Rec Center (WREC) is underway, starting with the groundbreaking that occurred on March 24, 2021! Our growing community needs a place where we all can come together to get fit, learn something new or relax poolside. We are working hard to create a center that will encompass the varying needs of our community while providing recreational programs for youth, families and seniors alike. We have designed a facility that is universally accessible, providing a space for community health, fitness and wellness programs to improve the quality of life for Wentzville residents. The WREC will be operationally, environmentally and economically sustainable, minimizing water, energy and natural resource consumption and utilizing modern building systems and technologies.

For progress updates and frequently asked questions about the WREC, please visit www.wentzvillemo.gov/WREC. Speaking of new, the “new normal” has required us to stay on our toes and get creative so we can continue to deliver quality programs for all to enjoy. We adapted our annual Egg Hunt to use personal Easter egg fields, had the Easter Bunny visit residents at their homes and provided virtual options to popular classes and activities. While we look forward to a future where we ALL can gather freely in one space, we are constantly working to prioritize the health and safety of our community and still offer our traditional events. We are excited to host our annual Wentzville Days Fair and Music Festival this May, as well as Liberty Fest this summer, however, to accommodate for health and safety concerns, these events may look a little different from years past. Although last year was challenging, it has allowed us to grow as a community, become more creative with our programs and make sure you can still have an exceptional experience as we continue to adapt to these unprecedented times.

Circumstances may require programs to change and we want our community to be able to stay up-to-date with the new and exciting programs we offer. To see what is available, please visit our Fun Times magazine online at www.wentzvillemo.gov/funtimes or sign up for our monthly Wentzville Parks and Recreation eNewsletter at www.wentzvillemo.gov/WPRenewsletter. We also encourage you to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to say "hello" and see what is happening in your community. We look forward to seeing you in the parks!
