Dike has excellent
recreation facilities, including a modern swimming pool with high and
low boards, a wading pool, steps built into the low end for easy access
and wheelchair-accessible shower facilities. If tennis is your game, try
one of our four lighted, newly resurfaced tennis courts. There are also
two outdoor raquetball courts, a sand volleyball court, shelter house,
and play equipment, all in the vicinity of the pool/tennis court complex
on 7th St. There are several other parks in town, including a large playground
next to the elementary school and the city park and shelter. In addition to multiple playgrounds and recreational facilities, there are many organized activities for young people in Dike. Little league baseball, softball, soccer, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, swim team, basketball, flag football, USVBA volleyball, special programs at the Dike Library, organized times for Halloween trick-or-treating and a holiday party with Santa Claus are just some of the activities for Dike’s younger residents.
