“Get your free Open Play Pass online ahead of time to skip the front desk line.”
Senior Basketball Open Play is a weekly drop-in sports session designed specifically for older adults at the Raleigh Community Center. It provides a welcoming space for participants to shoot hoops, play casual pickup games, and stay active at their own pace. To participate, players need an active Open Play Pass, which is completely free. You can register for this pass online through the city RecLink portal or simply request one at the front desk when you arrive. There is no need to sign up for a specific time slot in advance, making it easy to just show up and play. Wear comfortable athletic shoes and bring a water bottle. This is an excellent option for grandparents looking to keep up their fitness routine or meet other active seniors in the Triangle. It offers a structured, indoor environment to stay moving during the weekday afternoon hours.
