The mission of the City of Wadsworth Recreation Department is to provide opportunities to enhance the quality of life for those who live or work in the Wadsworth Community through a variety of recreational, educational, cultural and health-related activities and events. The goals of each activity and special event are to provide the essential, meaningful, and healthy benefits of recreation to the individual, our community, the local economy and our environment. The City of Wadsworth Recreation Department is headquartered in our beautiful community center which is known as Steiner Youth Center and is located just next door to Wadsworth High School. Thousands of Wadsworth children have learned to swim through Steiner Youth Center lessons offered at the indoor pool.
Many adults use the indoor pool for lap swimming or water aerobics.
Senior citizens also find fun and friends swimming in the indoor pool during special water exercise classes. Steiner Youth Center is a drop in recreation center for our community youth. A gymnasium is also available for students to shoot baskets and play pick up basketball. The Steiner Youth Center gymnasium is utilized by the Wadsworth Youth Basketball Association for the winter basketball program. Adult basketball leagues and drop in volleyball are offered for men and women in the Steiner Youth Center gym.
