Recreation Unit provides opportunities for the community to learn, socialize, exercise, and play, while promoting healthy behaviors with an emphasis on youth. This is accomplished using a positive youth development philosophy with a focus on competence, usefulness, belonging, and power of influence. The Bureau acts as a steward and champion of our city’s R-Centers, Rochester Community Sports Complex, playgrounds, aquatics, green spaces, and other facilities.
