SOUTHWICK — With the number of children enjoying the activities offered by the Southwick Recreation Center declining, its board of directors has embarked on a plan with the hope of increasing the number of children using the facility.
“We know things are changing, and we’re looking at how we can change to meet that need,” said Russell Fox, who serves on the center’s board and is the vice president of buildings.
For over 60 years, the nonprofit organization has been offering a venue for recreational activities for the town’s youth, but with the town’s population slowly declining and aging, so too has the number of children who might use the center at 64 Powder Mill Road.
