The Riverfront Recreation Program provides a number
of recreational opportunities for both Riverfront participants
and the general public.  Some of the activities coordinated by the Recreation program include Monday night bowling, Tuesday Night Specials, day trips, extended trips, and the Riverfront Singers and Dancers.

Monday night bowling is a larger group activity held at All Star Lanes from 3:30 to 5:00 P.M.  There are approximately 50 people who attend bowling on a weekly basis.

Tuesday Night Specials take place two times per month and offer a wide range of different opportunities.  Some of the activities that have been offered as Tuesday Night Specials include:
