“Get your free Open Play Pass online ahead of time to skip the lobby line.”
Family Basketball Open Play is a drop-in recreational session where parents and children can play basketball together in an indoor gym. To get on the court, you will need an active Open Play Pass, which you can set up online through the RecLink portal or at the front desk when you arrive. The session is open to all ages, making it a flexible option if you have both toddlers who want to roll a ball and teenagers who want to shoot hoops. Wear athletic shoes, bring your own water bottles, and park in the main community center lot. This event makes a great addition to your weekly routine because it requires zero advance registration and costs nothing. It is a low-pressure environment to practice skills or just run around together on a Tuesday evening.
