The Island Recreation Center: Enriching Lives, Building Community
The Hilton Head Island Recreation Association is a non-profit organization committed to enhancing the quality of life for people of all ages and backgrounds. Through youth and adult sports, fitness programs, community events, park rentals, and senior activities, the Association serves as a vibrant hub for locals and visitors alike.
With the addition of the $13 million Carmines Recreation Building, the Rec Center now offers state-of-the-art facilities. This includes a fitness center and pool, available through flexible day, week, month, and annual memberships.
A Legacy of Service
The Hilton Head Island Recreation Association’s story began in 1977 when the Rotary Club recognized a gap in recreational programs for the community’s youth. Their efforts led to the creation of the Island Youth Center, which has since evolved into the Island Rec Center to meet the area’s growing recreational needs.
Through decades of dedicated service, the Association has expanded its offerings to include activities for all ages, from youth sports leagues to senior programs, always adapting to the needs of the Hilton Head Island community.
Exciting Renovations
The Association’s commitment to continuous improvement is evident in their recent expansion and renovations. Completed through the hard work of the Board of Directors, community volunteers, and town support, the upgraded facility now includes:
- A new gymnasium
- Modern classrooms
- A renovated playground
- Updated fitness equipment
- An indoor walking track
- Upgraded restrooms and pool facilities
These additions ensure that the Rec Center remains a premier destination for entertainment, wellness, and community connection.
