We have received the wonderful news that we will be transitioning back into the WPCRC in December. The emergency men’s shelter is relocating to the vacant Fleet Services building at the corner of East Johnson and First Streets. We are excited to resume services and reconnect with the community. 

We are anticipating a restoration period of at least one month before reopening to the public. We are in the early stages of working with the Parks Department and community partners to develop plans for a safe return and hope to have the facility available for limited use in January 2021. The facility will operate differently from the last time you were here, and we ask for your patience as we navigate these unprecedented times.

WPCRC hosts Teen Nights on Fridays from 3 pm‒6 pm at the Madison Mallards Duck Blind. The program began Oct. 16, is off to an excellent start, and will build up to three days per week. Teen Night is a part of the Kids Need Opportunities at Warner (KNOW) program partnership with the Madison Parks Foundation. Teens engage in gaming, sports and lawn games, field trips, leadership development, prizes/giveaways, music, movies and a meal. 

All exercise room memberships will be extended to give credit for the time we were closed due to COVID-19. If you do not feel comfortable returning, we will issue a prorated refund upon request. For refund requests, contact cabarca@cityofmadison.com.

Thank you for your patience during these extraordinary times, and we look forward to reconnecting with you soon.
