Come play, compete, work out, and learn new skills with us!

Merrick House’s gymnasium allows youth and other community members to participate in organized recreation, physical conditioning, fitness classes, and self defense classes year-round. Supervised recreation activities serve as a healthy alternative to the streets for our youth and a way for them to build character and leadership skills.
