SCHOOL RECREATION
Before and After School Recreation
The Wheeling Park District, with the cooperation of District 21, has developed a before-and after-school program for working parents that provides quality care for children in grades K-5 who attend Field, Tarkington, Twain and Whitman school’s. The program is committed to providing safe recreation activities including games, crafts, sports and homework/quiet time to counterbalance the day’s educational activities. Parents may choose either before- or after-school care or both.
The program site is the Wheeling Park District Community Recreation Center (CRC). Students using before-school are dropped off at the CRC and bussed to their school. After school care students are bussed from their home school to the CRC and should be picked up there.
Wheeling Park District offers many recreation programs at the CRC such as swim lessons, art classes and dance programs after school. Sign up for the BASR aftercare program and our staff will work with each family to walk their child safely to their next activity! Registration for additional activities is not included in the price of the BASR program.
