Titusville Leisure Services

The Titusville Leisure Services is the successor
organization to the Titusville Recreation
Commission and has existed since at least the
early 1950s when it was organized under the
Third Class City Code. Since that time, the
Titusville Leisure Services and its predecessor
have supervised, provided and enhanced the
recreational facilities and programs within the
City of Titusville and the Titusville area and a
cooperative effort between TASD and the City has,
to a large extent, made this endeavor
possible. The most recent agreement was signed
on March 1st, 2004
