COLUMBUS – It will be a little easier for West Side residents to stay in shape now that the Prairie Township Community Center has opened.
This $10 million facility, 5955 West Broad St, is the township’s first recreation center and features a variety of fitness programs and opportunities for family activities.
The 40,000-square-foot center features a gym, pool, and an outdoor splash pad for kids.
A fitness room is available for yoga, TRX, indoor cycling, hip-hop dance and Zumba classes and will be equipped with elliptical machines, treadmills, free weights, select rise equipment and full circuit training, township spokeswoman Jill Buterbaugh said. Members can consult with personal trainers.
Buterbaugh says childcare and multipurpose rooms will host programs for everyone from young children to senior citizens.
Annual membership fees for township residents range in price from $97 for seniors (55 and over) to $215 for adults and from $179 for a senior couple to $548 for a family of four, plus $50 for each additional family member.
For non-residents, fees for individuals range from $155 to $322 and, for groups, $268 for a senior couple to $822 for a family.
