Wright Family Center

Wright Family Center For more information, follow this page! The Dieterich Community is one of growth and innovation. We have never been held back by our size.

Welcome to the Wright Family Center, a 16,500 square foot center boasting a full-size basketball court with 2 cross courts, 3 pickleball courts, a 2-lane walking track and 24 hour workout facility! We bring bold ideas to life! Meet the Wright Family Center! Since 2005, the Dieterich Community has added 125+ new homes to our amazing little town. Our population has increased an estimated 40%! This welcome growth has increased the demand for daycare and recreation opportunities. The Wright Family Center is designed to meet these demands by offering the following amenities:

· A 50 student daycare facility adjacent to Dieterich Elementary
· A full-size multi-purpose gym, with two cross length courts
· A 2-lane walking track around the gymnasium
· 3 community rooms that are flexible to meet any needs
· And a 24-hour workout facility

The Village of Dieterich received a $2,014,800 PARC Grant through IDNR. Blessed with this grant, the Wright Family Center will evolve from a modest facility with limited site furnishings to a modern facility, fully equipped from day one. It is important to note that the PARC Grant through IDNR will only cover recreational and support facilities and requires a 25% matching funds ($503,700). The 50 student daycare is not included in the grant funds and will continue to be 100% self-funded at a total cost of $400,000. With the grant funding, the overall capital campaign will decrease 28% from $1.25M to $900,000. To date we have $490,000 of the $900,000 committed, not including monies from the home raffle. The Wright Family Center is a bold idea! We have a unique opportunity to bring new amenities to our residents and economic growth to our businesses. The center is a shining example of what communities can do when everyone comes together. If you are interested in showing your support, see their website. Donation opportunities with appropriate recognition are available through the website. Your support would be much appreciated!! www.WrightFamilyCenter.com

🏀 Scorekeepers Needed – Youth Basketball League

I am looking for scorekeepers/volunteers on Tuesdays in October for our youth basketball league!

Just a reminder!

Our lobby will be closed on Monday in observance of Labor Day!

24 hour fitness center is always open!

Gymnasium will be accessible for people with the extended access agreement signed and added to their membership codes. https://www.wrightfamilycenter.com/extendedhoursagreement

Since this is something that you need to fill out, I receive it, and I have to put it on your account in our system, you will need to get the access agreement signed by 6pm tonight if you want to use it this long weekend! I'm usually off on Saturdays but I will stop in tomorrow to process the agreements for anyone who wants to use the facility over the holiday weekend!

September Calendar!

We will be closed on Labor Day! 24 hour fitness center is always open!! You can still use our gymnasium if you have the extended access agreement filled out! https://www.wrightfamilycenter.com/extendedhoursagreement

Then, on the 8th, we will be setting up for the Grandparents’ Day Book Fair! 📚❤️

This year, the Book Fair will be set up in the gymnasium, so the gym will be closed on the 8th and 9th.

We will have everything cleaned up, packed away, and ready to go, and the gymnasium will reopen at 4:00 PM on the 9th.

This does mean that extended access to the gymnasium will be shut off after hours on the 8th and the morning of the 9th.
