“Get your free Open Play Pass online ahead of time to bypass the front desk.”
What is Basketball Open Play - All Ages? This is a recurring drop-in session where the community center gymnasium opens its doors for unstructured basketball practice and pickup games. To participate, you just need to obtain a free Open Play Pass, which you can secure online through the RecLink system or in person at the front desk. The session spans the midday and afternoon hours, making it a flexible option for homeschooled children, preschoolers who need to burn off energy before naptime, or older kids after the school bell rings. Parking is available in the main community center lot, and you should bring your own water bottles as active kids will need to stay hydrated. This is a reliable option for a budget-friendly afternoon activity. It allows children to stay active indoors on a weekday without the commitment or pressure of a structured sports league.
