50 Years of Serving the Community

Welcome to the Maples Recreation Association, established in 1973, we are more than youth sports; we’re the heart of the Maples community, providing a safe, welcoming and inclusive space for all.

At the heart of our organization are the volunteers and their enthusiasm and commitment. As a non-profit organization we’re dedicated to responsible stewardship of our community, and we’re driving by family values, kinship and goodwill.

Our dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers throughout the years have supported our community with recreation and leisure programs, while providing opportunities for older adults to participate too!

Our goal is to provide multiple programs that anyone can join including afternoon cards with our seniors, pickle ball, fitness classes, or English classes. Also, we offer space for socials, party rentals, meetings, and other special events.
