Launches Innovative Corporate Wellness Program 
With health care costs rising daily and the increasing "epidemic" of obesity in the United States, it simply makes sense to help businesses help their employees become healthier. The Wayne Recreation & Exercise Club (The REC) can help.
Explained Parks and Recreation Director Nathan Adams, "We have many corporate benefits that are at no cost to employers, but will help save employees money on a health club membership. Additionally, we offer complimentary, on-site motivational seminars on leading a healthy lifestyle."
The REC works with the following regional insurers:
- Health Alliance Plan Senior Plus
- Alliance Medicare Preferred Provider Organization
Continued Adams, "It's good to remember that having healthier employees leads to a healthier company. Having a regular exercise routine can increase a person's energy, and lead to less illness and absenteeism. Not to mention employees will be happier if they're healthier!"
The REC wants to work with your company to set up a membership benefit. Please contact Nathan Adams at 734-721-7400 for more information.

Want To Have Some Fun?
Do We Have The Services For You!
The Parks and Recreation Department has recreational programs that will interest nearly everyone in your family. The Community Center which is located at the corner of Howe Road and Annapolis, has become a meeting place for neighbors and friends to get together and enjoy a good workout or just have some fun together.
The Community Center is the home of the Aquatic Area, which has a walk-in entry pool and water fountains for all to enjoy. A huge waterslide is often the favorite spot for adults and children. A smaller waterslide is available for the little ones. There is also a separate area in the pool for anyone who likes to do laps or for various civic and school organizations sponsoring competitions.
The newly renovated Ice Rink features annual skating competitions where skaters from across the United States compete. Up to 2,500 spectators can enjoy the annual ice show and many other events throughout the year. It is also home to the Wayne Youth Hockey Association, which features youth hockey teams in all divisions.
The Recreation & Exercise Club (REC) houses state of the art exercise equipment. Certified trainers are available to assist you with your workout or any of the equipment.
The Oakbridge Suites Banquet Facility features banquet and meeting rooms for all occasions that can accommodate from 50 to 400 guests with kitchen facilities available to all rentals.
Besides the Community Center, Wayne is home to 17 neighborhood parks and playgrounds. The annual Wheelfest celebration is held at Goudy Park. In the summer, the Goudy Park Concert Series is held each Thursday evening at the Goudy Park Amphitheatre.
We invite you to visit any of our facilities and neighborhood parks. Please contact the Parks and Recreation Department for information regarding any of the programs that we offer at 734-721-740.
