Crooksville Recreation Center

Crooksville Recreation Center Mayor Cannons vision for a "Community Center" began in 1997. Construction on the facility began in 1988 with final completion in February 2000.

Village council gave him authority to apply for a USDA/Royal development grant and loan on June 25, 1997. It was through mayor Cannons untiring efforts and leadership that Crooksvilles citizens of all ages can enjoy year round recreation and events.

In light of the multiple extremely difficult challenges the Crooksville community has been facing recently, the Lones family & businesses (LLx, NovelTree Farm, X Materials) will be covering all entry costs to the Rec Center this evening. Please feel free to join us anytime between 6-8pm for climbing, light half-court basketball skills/shooting, or just some community togetherness. Our hearts are with you πŸ’™

Last night was the first night the Crooksville Rec Center Climbing wall was open under Molly Lones - things went very smoothly - with a great group of people and lots of kids. Teresa and I were thrilled.

It is with great pleasure that I announce that Molly Lones has agreed to take over the Crooksville Recreation Center Climbing Wall Program. I’ve known Molly for a long time – she was the winner of the first Climbing Wall competition we ever held and I have no doubt she will do a great job. Teresa and I will continue to do the maintenance – setting routes, tightening, washing, and moving holds, washing and replacing ropes etc. It simply became too much to do it all with my health issues. We were afraid the Program would die out and are so grateful that Molly will carry it on.
