MSCR Turns 100 with Big West Side Upgrade | Madison News

Madison School & Community Recreation turns 100 this year—and they’re not just celebrating, they’re building bigger, better. A $9.7M expansion at their west side branch, launching in September, adds a warm-water pool, a flexible multipurpose gym, and 25,000 sq ft of new space—all funded by property taxes and designed to serve 80,000–100,000 locals annually. Originally founded in 1926 to build playgrounds and adult clubs, MSCR now offers everything from after-school care to a pontoon boat program open to all. They even bought the former OfficeMax next door to make it happen. With a focus on accessibility, affordability, and youth employment, MSCR proves a century-old mission can still power a vibrant, inclusive future for Madison.
