Safe Fun For Youth At MPS Twilight Centers

MPS Twilight Centers are open and are celebrating the addition of the first middle school Twilight Center at Douglas Middle School! Students can take part in free activities including open gym, game rooms, roller skating, movie nights, and more. Four high schools offer free open swim.

“Having a safe place to enjoy activities offers many benefits for our students,” said Lynn Greb, Senior Director, Recreation and Community Services. “Staying active is healthy for mind and body, especially in colder months. We’re excited that we can give youth these free spaces where parents know they are safe.”

On Saturdays, families and children of all ages are welcome in Twilight Centers, with an adult required to accompany children 11 or younger.
