About WRCC

The West River Community Center (WRCC) is a 135,000 square foot center, managed by Dickinson Parks & Recreation. The facility was built with a “western edge” design that blends with the landscape of southwest North Dakota with the philosophy that community recreation centers should entertain, educate and promote health and well-being. The staff at WRCC is ready to make your visit a memorable and pleasant experience — welcome to the West River Community Center!
