Blue Valley Rec is a problem solver in the community. We provide educational training and active participation in the battle against childhood obesity; bring an economic impact to the community; contribute to a sustainable existence through educational classes and recycling opportunities; facilitate social interaction; develop analytic and cognitive skills; save lives through Learn-to-Swim classes; decrease crime; boost property value; and address the growing Boomers and Beyond population needs. Blue Valley Rec enriches lives of the community through hundreds of youth and adult programs, classes, activities, and sport leagues. Facilities for these activities include the Recreation Complex at 137th and Antioch, the Activity Center at 6545 W. 151st Street, and various school district facilities. Under Kansas State Statutes, voters formed Blue Valley Recreation Commission in 1986 to provide local recreation programs under the auspices of the Blue Valley School Board. Blue Valley Rec is a separate entity; the Board of Education certifies the Commission’s budget and appoints commissioners. The great partnership with the Blue Valley School District allows Blue Valley Rec to contain costs to patrons. Find out more at http://www.bluevalleyrec.org/page/faq.php
