Adult Basketball Open Play is a drop-in recreational sports session held at the Raleigh Community Center. Participants can join pickup games or shoot hoops at their own pace during this two-hour window. To attend, you need an active Open Play Pass, which is completely free. You can secure this pass online through the city's RecLink system or register in person at the front desk when you arrive. Wear athletic shoes, bring a water bottle, and note that parking is available in the main community center lot. This session makes a great addition to your weekend plans if you want to prioritize physical activity before the busy family schedule takes over on Saturday and Sunday.
