Stop by the Urbana Park District’s recreation office and community center. This public facility has three multipurpose rooms, a senior lounge and a beautiful dance/fitness room. Experience the variety of exciting classes, programs and activities for all ages. The Phillips Center is the place to sign up for programs, rent a picnic pavilion or get your pool pass photo taken. We look forward to helping you enjoy all that the district has to offer.
Dance/Fitness Room
Our 2,000 square foot wood-sprung dance floor is easy on the joints when you dance or exercise with us. The Phillips Recreation Center is known for a non-intimidating atmosphere, so exercising here is convenient and comfortable. A wide variety of classes fits many schedules. Don’t miss our flexible fitness option; buy a booklet of 10 coupons and attend class when you can – they never expire! New students can try any dance or fitness class for free to see if it suits you. Stop at the front desk to sign a waiver and get details.
Room Rental
Programs of all types are held in our three multipurpose rooms – from preschool fine arts to family special events. During times when the rooms are not in use, they are available to rent. Rooms can accommodate 30-120 people, depending on room arrangement and needs. Rental rates range from $40 to $130 an hour, depending on how many rooms are rented. Each room is just over 660 square feet. Talk with Ted Kirts at extension 203 about room set-up and availability.
Birthday Parties at the Phillips Center
Make your child’s birthday one to remember! We offer a wide selection of birthday parties where we provide everything your family needs to have a spectacular time. We have themes for every age and every interest, or we can create a custom theme just for you. See the Leisure Guide for a complete selection of our parties.
James Room
Stop by and take a break. The James Room is for seniors to relax in when other programs are not going on. Come and join us through April 30, 2011 for Senior Wii Days on the first, third and fifth Wednesdays of each month from 9 to 11 am.
