Pleasant Prairie RecPlex

OUTDOOR

The RecPlex’s 425-acre property includes Lake Andrea, which offers fishing, swimming, sailing, boating, and windsurfing, in addition to sand volleyball courts and a relaxing beachfront. Guests who want to skim across Lake Andrea can rent boats from Froggy’s Landing, while those seeking to sharpen their skills in the water can sign up for open water swimming and scuba diving classes. During your time in or out of the water, you’ll be surrounded by greenery as far as the eye can see for a peaceful setting to intense competitions. Prairie Springs Park is home to community gardens and an archery range. The outdoor athletic fields at the RecPlex include six lighted baseball fields among acres of land that host outdoor leagues in almost every sport imaginable, including soccer, baseball, T-ball, softball, flag football, 3-on-3 basketball, and youth tennis. The RecPlex is located within Prairie Springs Park that has 900+ acres of land and miles of connected trails!

INDOOR

The Fieldhouse

When Wisconsin’s weather turns wintry, the RecPlex’s 60,000 square foot Fieldhouse becomes the center of the sporting action with state-of-the-art indoor courts for basketball, volleyball, and racquetball, as well as a one-sixth-mile suspended running track right above the courts.

Aqua Arena

Adjacent to the Fieldhouse, and ensuring year-round access to watersports and leisure, is the RecPlex Aqua Arena and Waterpark. Home to the Pleasant Prairie Patriots competitive swim team, and host to large events such as the Speedo Sectionals, the RecPlex Aqua Arena is a versatile pool. With an air temperature of 79 degree and water temperature at 81, the pool can be set as either a short course (25Y) or a long course (50M).

Waterpark

In addition to the training and competitive side of the pool area, you’ll find what is essentially a mini indoor waterpark. This water wonderland features a whirlpool channel, jacuzzi, and a competition pool heated by geothermal power and able to seat up to 600 spectators — and that’s just the beginning. Little ones love the multilevel water fortress where they can shoot water at each other from built-in water launchers or stand beneath the constantly flowing water for the splash of a lifetime. Kids and adults alike flock to the two-story, twisty water slide that’s worth the admission alone.

ON THE ICE

If you’re prepared to embrace the cold, the RecPlex Ice Arena houses two NHL-sized ice rinks that operate year-round, as well as a full-service pro shop for hockey players, figure skaters, and the casual ice skater. Multiple on-site programs and leagues are available throughout the year to help young athletes hone their skills on the ice. On game days, you can satisfy your hunger with a visit to the snack bar just outside the rinks.

FITNESS CENTER

The state-of-the-art second-floor fitness center that looks out over the area’s parklands is the beating heart of the RecPlex and sure to get athletes’ blood pumping. The center’s cardiovascular equipment can meet every workout need and includes rowing machines, upright and recumbent stationary bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, Stairmasters, and stair climbers. The strength equipment includes free weights as well as cable strength machines and a 31-station circuit of selectorized weight machines. There’s no need to be overwhelmed by the wealth of choices in the gym, though: the fitness center’s friendly staff are more than happy to introduce newcomers to all of the equipment with a free Fitness Quick Start tour for new members.
