Open Gym
Check open gym schedules often! Open Gyms may be cancelled or new offerings added as needed. Open gym schedules are posted one week before the beginning of each month and are available online or at the Recreation Center Fitness Desk, 4500 Belmont Road.
Please note: During Pickleball Open Gym times, two courts (six nets) are designated for pickleball play. One court (two half-courts) will remain available for fitness member use (e.g., basketball shooting). Attendance levels may vary; please expect longer wait times during peak periods.
Effective December 27, 2025

PARTICIPANTS UNDER 18
Participants 18 years and under who do not have a pre-purchased visit pass may not purchase a visit pass in person without the signature of their parent or legal guardian. Please note: proof of legal guardianship may be required.
The waiver below may be signed digitally by a parent or legal guardian for a one-visit daily pass if the parent or legal guardian will not be checking-in with their child. A signed waiver is required for each visit and does not serve as a one-time or ongoing waiver.
If you complete your child's waiver and will not be present at check-in, please make sure your child knows the email address you used so we can confirm the waiver at check-in.

Wristbands
Each participant in any open gym program is given a wristband that must be worn during the entire open gym time. Wristbands show proof of check-in and payment and help Park District staff control the number of participants in the gym. Anyone not wearing a wristband will be asked to leave the gym. Re-entry will be allowed only if spots are available and payment is made.
Equipment and Court Availability
Racquets, paddles, birdies and balls are available. Days, times and number of courts are subject to change based on gym availability.
