Silver Springs Recreation Center

Silver Springs Recreation Center is a 36,000 square foot City of Henderson center at 1951 Silver Springs Pkwy in the 89074 zip, next to Silver Springs Park and within walking distance of many Green Valley neighborhoods. The city describes it as family oriented, more like a community center than a gym, and says it runs early childhood programs and center based events alongside the usual classes.

Rooms and features are a gymnasium, a dance and aerobics room, a fitness room, meeting rooms and classrooms, a multi use room, racquetball and wallyball courts, tennis courts and an outdoor amphitheater. The seasonal outdoor pool opens in summer and has its own page for hours and admission.

Programs and classes, membership prices, hours and closures live on separate city pages, with online registration through the city system and a monthly gym calendar posted. Call (702) 267-5720; the recreation services supervisor is David Castle. Confirm any camp or class dates directly rather than assuming the same lineup every year.
