Waynesville Rec Center breaks records

A record 149,600 visits were recorded at the Waynesville Recreation Center in 2016, busting the previous record of 149,574 set in 2009.

Rec center numbers do not include visits to the adjacent recreation park, which attracts many more people each year to walk the greenway trail, play on the playground and use the many athletic fields.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
