The Sound of Silence

Friends of Upper Noe Recreation Center just completed an acoustic upgrade project in the auditorium to eliminate echo and noise. Using add-back funding procured through Supervisor Mandelman, we designed and purchased beautiful and durable panels.  Rec & Park carpenters completed the installation in early February. Support by rec center staff was amazing throughout this project. Enjoy the hushed environment as you play, exercise and gather for meetings.

Spring Session classes at Upper Noe run from March 19 through May 25. Registration opens March 2 at 10 a.m. League Volleyball, Girls’ Open Volleyball, and Karate classes return, as does Saturday Open Gym. Join the fun with free activities like A Place to Play, pickleball, Zumba, and others. View the daily schedule at www.uppernoerecreationcenter.com.
