Welcome to the Westlake Village Virtual Recreation Center!
There are plenty of ways to be active and creative while distancing in this new and temporary age of coronavirus. Below you’ll find online fitness classes for all ages, arts and crafts ideas, virtual museum tours and more. It’s important that we all continue to care for our minds and bodies as we navigate the challenges of physical distancing. Most activities are offered by third-party organizations (not connected to the City of Westlake Village).
