Virginia Beach Recreation Centers are All About Fun for Kids |
Virginia Beach Recreation Centers are All About Fun for Kids!
Stop by any of the 6 Virginia Beach Recreation Centers & try the new equipment
Release Date: Friday, July 10, 2009 8:40 a.m.
Rain or shine, kids get their imaginations – and heart rates - in full gear at Virginia Beach Recreation Centers! As part of an initiative to encourage healthy lifestyles, Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation is introducing new kinds of fun with new ways for kids to play.
The largest of these new items are the new Indoor Play Structures, found in the game rooms at Bayside, Great Neck, and Princess Anne Recreation Centers. These playgrounds bring the fun inside, where youth age 12 and under can enjoy climbing, crawling, and sliding through the multi-level structures.
Or, visit Kempsville Recreation Center’s swimming pool and try the new Climbing Wall. The best thing about this is that no ropes or experience are required, and falling doesn’t hurt. It just makes a splash!
For a different type of challenge, try out various gaming systems. There are Gaming Bikes at Bow Creek where youth can race against each other in a video game, Dance Pads at Kempsville and Seatack Recreation Centers to try out the latest moves, and X’er Boards which offer virtual reality surfing or skating at Princess Anne Recreation Center.
As if that’s not enough, Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation also installed Sportswalls at each of the 6 recreation centers. These walls have flashing lights choreographed to music that require the user to touch the lights to score points. The Sportswalls can be used by a single person, or can be used to challenge a friend. A word of warning: the pace starts out easy, but the heart rates will climb!
