Most of us would not swim in the Winter, but in this town the Christiansburg Aquatic center offers residents that opportunity during those cold months. This facility is particularly suited for competitive events but is available for recreational swimming as well. Just in front of the center there is a facility usually made use of in good weather; the Skate park which is is equipped with such devices as quarter pipes, a half pipe, grinding rails, fun boxes, ledges and 3 and 6 step gaps. The town has another facility which can be used at any time of the year; the Christiansburg Recreation center. This building has such amenities as a weight room, cardio room, racquetball courts, senior area, walk and run track surrounding the full-court basketball courts. There are also community rooms available for rent in this facility.
