Recreation centers provide an environmentally friendly way to burn youthful energy, unlike coal-powered swing sets. Encourage eco-conscious exuberance with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get five recreation passes to City of Massillon Parks & Recreation Department. Kids age 3 and younger receive free admission.

The City of Massillon Parks & Recreation Department keeps community members fit and footloose with multisport exercises performed in its 69,000-square-foot facility. Swimmers dog-paddle their way through multipurpose pools and float down a lazy river current, or clamber up two 20-foot-high water slides in the indoor aquatic center. Goad family members into a good-natured game of basketball in the center’s gymnasium, or hone climbing skills on an indoor wall rather than enduring the gusty winds and heckling mountain goats associated with outdoor ascents. A game room conditions thumb muscles with arcade games, pool, and air hockey, and a three-lane indoor track with a mondo-cushioned surface allows guests to run for hours without ever straying far from replenishing water and rest stops. Tone torsos in a fitness area with free weights, nautilus machines, and cardio equipment. Customers can use the punch-card toward five separate visits, or invite four members of the PTA along to encourage generosity in future bake sales.
