The Ludlow Recreation committee and dept. has extended its hours. The new hours will be weekdays 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The recreation department is planning to add dedicated volunteers for weekend hours as well, once all the required documentation is finalized.
The Ludlow Rec Center is located between the Black River Good Neighbor Services/Okemo Valley TV building and Ludlow Elementary School (LES) and The Expeditionary School at Black River (ESBR) school buildings. The center had become the hub for goods and resources for the community following the major flooding back in July. Many products were stored in the space due to the size and accessibility. Now, the town has finally been able to remove the last of these items as well as expanded the hours for the center’s availability.
Current programs include adult leagues for pick up volleyball, basketball, indoor soccer, and pickleball. The elementary school youth basketball teams also practice and host their home games in the community center’s gymnasium. Many meetings and community events are also hosted on the premises. Both LES and ESBR utilize the space intermittently for resources as well. Furthermore, the center also has its own fitness center which is open to all for membership and for rent. The 800-square-foot room is available for day to day or monthly use.
Lastly, The Ludlow Recreation committee meets the second Tuesday of every month at 5 p.m. in the community center’s conference room (or sometimes the cafeteria on the left side. These meetings are open to the public and everyone is invited to share their thoughts, volunteer their time, help with fundraising, or inquire for more updates.
