Bringing Family & Community Together Through Recreation Since 1934!

Welcome to WAWM Recreation & Community Services

Dear Members of the West Allis-West Milwaukee Community, On behalf of the WAWM RCS we proudly present the 2018 Winter - Spring Activity Guide with an amazing line up of programs for children, adults, families and our senior friends. Many of our signature events and classes are returning in addition to welcoming new offerings and new staff. We encourage you to not let the challenges of Wisconsin winters get you down. Power through it by registering for one of our many programs. With the proper layering against the cold, going to exercise or socialize is a great way to beat the winter blues.

Before you know it, New Year’s resolutions will have faded and the revitalization and new beginnings spring brings will present a time for all of us to try something new. Consider taking a class you never tried before.

Whatever your interest, the Recreation and Community Services Department has something for you. Do not hibernate or let the cold and wet weather of winter and spring discourage you from venturing out to the WAWM RCS programs.

Each of our dedicated team members strives to deliver high quality programs and service for our community members with commitment, compassion and a desire to fulfill our mission of providing recreation programs and learning opportunities that serve our community.

Our team thanks you for the opportunity to serve you and your family this winter and spring season.

There will be a performance on Saturday, May 5th with a rehearsal on Friday, May 4th. There will be an additional fee for matching costumes/leotards used in the performance. Additional information regarding the performance will be sent home after the classes begin. Due to space limitations in the upper gym, we ask parents to wait in the commons area. We will be hosting a parents’ observation night to view practice.
