WAUPUN — The City of Waupun hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Waupun Community Center located at 520 McKinley St.
The event was well attended, and following the event there was an open house with tours for attendees to see the new facility.
The facility is composed of four main spaces: the Senior Center, Recreation Department, Food Pantry, and REACH Waupun. The Recreation Department operates out of the main offices at the main entrance, which is immediately followed by the Senior Center rooms, which include a billiards/pool room, reading room, and fitness center. Behind those are the dining and multipurpose rooms, which also have an attached kitchen.
The Food Pantry is located on the southeast corner of the building and has one large room and office space, along with a delivery area and large cooler. REACH, also located on the east side of the building, has a spacious activity room along with their own office.
The gymnasium takes up the entire north quarter of the facility, and includes a regulation sized basketball court and built-in pickelball courts.
A door prize and raffle was held in the multipurpose room, and if attendees participated in a scavenger hunt they received a second ticket. Refreshments and snacks were provided in the dining room and in the REACH room.
