Adel Parks & Recreation Archery Center Grand Opening Oct. 3

Adel Archery CenterCourtesy of Adel Park and Rec:

The City of Adel is building an archery center for beginner through senior archers, the first municipal archery range in Dallas County.

By providing five shooting lanes that can accommodate ten archers at one time, the center gives archers and hunters a safe place to practice and prepare for upcoming shooting competitions and hunting seasons.

Fencing and berms will separate the range from the surrounding area to ensure the safety of archers and the public.

Those new to the sport, from children to seniors, can learn and develop skills. Archery is one of the few sports that allow all skill levels to participate at the same time, making it a great family activity.

The Adel Parks and Recreation Archery Center is located on Old Portland Road at the site of the former municipal waste water treatment plant. A grand opening is planned for October 3, 2015.

The Archery Center was made possible through funding from the City of Adel, a grant from the Dallas County Foundation, and donations, with city and community labor.

The Archery Center helps the Adel Parks and Recreation Department meet its mission to provide the community with high quality leisure facilities and recreational and cultural opportunities. Archery is a healthy activity that promotes balance, mental focus, and building upper body strength.

The social interactions are important, too; it’s a fun sport that can be recreational or competitive. A permit at a nominal fee will be required to use the range and can be obtained at the Adel City Hall. Each permit holder will receive a copy of the rules for the range and the proper archery shooting procedures to allow for a safe and enjoyable experience for all users.
