Letter From the Director
Hello! The City of Angleton Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to
present our Summer 2015 PlayBook. The Angleton Parks and Recreation
PlayBook is the best reference around for all of the exciting activities and
programming offered by our Department. Whether you are wanting to
join a group exercise class, find a place to work out, looking for activities
for the kids, or just looking for a place to host your birthday party or
family reunion you can find it in the PlayBook.
The Angleton Recreation Center is open 7 days a week and is home to
many of our great programs and activities. Come by the Recreation
Center anytime and see what we have to offer: basketball, group exercise
classes, workout center with strength training and cardio equipment, our
awesome aquatics center with 2 story water slide and indoor pool, the list
seems endless! We also have the Silver Hearts senior program that holds
weekly social/lunch programs and takes several trips each month.
Our Group Exercise program is just one of the year round programs we
feature at the Angleton Recreation Center. We have a variety of classes
and instructors to appeal to all personalities and fitness levels. Our most
popular class right now is yoga that builds flexibility and focus. If that’s
not your preference we also have high energy classes like UpperCUT and
Step & Sculpt that are sure to get your heart pumping.
We also have several events coming up that feature a variety of fun
events for the entire family, even pets! Some of our upcoming events are
the Freedom Festival and fireworks show, Summer Jamboree and our 2nd
Annual Glow 5K run. Summer Jamboree is our yearly summer camp for
kids from kindergarten to 12 years old.
Summer is a great time to get outside in one of the great parks in
Angleton. We have a disc golf course at Bates Park, walking trails at
Freedom and Dickey Parks, or maybe just take a lunch and enjoy the great
weather.
We hope you have found this edition of the Angleton Parks and Recreation
Department’s Playbook to be a helpful and informative guide to the many
programs and activities offered by the Angleton Parks and Recreation
Department. We are committed to providing safe, fun and memorable
experiences for our patrons. If you would like more information on a
particular event or program, please check our website
www.angleton.tx.us/parks-recreation/, visit our FaceBook page at https://

many upcoming events.
