A celebration is planned next weekend marking five years since the opening of the Windsor Community Recreation Center.

The celebration is set for 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8 at the recreation center at 250 N. 11th St., in Windsor. The free event will include cookies, balloons, music, food, games, giveaways, personal training sessions, nutrition classes and more, according to a town news release.

Tours of the 80,000-square-foot facility will be available at the event. In addition to fitness classes, attendees will have the opportunity to open swim at the indoor aquatic center. Outdoor yoga and high-intensity interval training classes will be offered if weather allows.

"We are beyond excited to reach a significant milestone and celebrate it with our community, who helped us make this happen," said operations and facilities manager Kendra Martin in the release. "Since our grand opening in 2016, we have taught over 7,000 swimming lessons, challenged almost 172,000 fitness class attendees, and have provided wellness services to over 1.5 million people. We aren't just a fitness center, we are an extension of vital services for the senior population, our youth, and active adults."

The celebration will continue Oct. 15, Oct. 22 and Oct. 29, when recreation center members will be allowed to bring one workout buddy to any fitness class or program included with membership.
