About Metro Rec Plex
Our Story
The McKendree Metro Rec Plex was built on a simple vision: O’Fallon, IL and the greater Metro East region deserved a world-class sports and recreation complex. What began as a recognized need for competitive ice and aquatics grew into a community hub where athletes train; families connect, and active lifestyles thrive.
