SMP Recreation Center, free Wi-Fi and more
The MCAS Yuma Single Marine Program exists to improve the quality of life for single Marines and Sailors aboard MCAS Yuma. We focus on the young, single, enlisted Marine or Sailor, although we also welcome geographical bachelors, single parents, and single officers. The SMP recreation center is often considered a home away from home for many military members. If you are into video games, the center offers free Xbox live on all four of our Xboxs, plus a PlayStation 3 and a Wii gaming system. The game selection is always expanding with new games that come out each month. If video games really are not your thing and you are a little bit more of a risk taker, we have pool, poker, and ping pong tables with tournaments all the time. If you just want to sit around and relax, we have a movie theater lounge featuring free movie viewing on the weekends. And don’t forget our center is a hot link with free Wi-Fi and desktop computers! So stop by, relax and have a great time; if you have any question please call (928)269-5794.
