The Recreation Centers of Sun City West partnered with the Del Webb Sun Cities Museum to create four historical signs recently installed at each of the community’s four recreation centers.

The signs provide a brief history of each center and explain the story behind the names of each facility.

In the case of the R.H. Johnson, Fred Kuentz and William Beardsley recreation centers, the signs also provide a biography of the person for whom each center was named. The signboards were installed at the main entrance to each facility.

The Del Webb Sun Cities Museum, owned by the Sun Cities Area Historical Society, designed each sign and covered the cost of printing each one. Each sign is printed on a sheet of aluminum to protect it from all weather conditions.
