-VIRTUAL RECREATION CENTER-
Welcome to the West Seneca Youth & Recreation Virtual Recreation Center! This is your place to find active, fun, recreation resources through these unprecedented times. We are committed to ensuring that our community has resources to maintain healthy lives, foster relationships, and continue to create memorable experiences. During these challenging times, our Virtual Recreation Center will help bring ideas to keep you and your loved ones healthy and entertained. This concept is taking the place of our WSREC@HOME Virtual Activities. We would like to thank our friends at the Village of Hamburg Recreation for this idea!
