Gym Dress Code And Rules

The gym is open daily for pickup volleyball and basketball.

There will be at least one gym designated as an open gym each day so that pass holders can shoot baskets or play volleyball. However, on occasion all four areas may be needed for programs, leagues or special events.

Please keep in mind these rules are meant to ensure a comfortable and safe atmosphere for everyone. Please be courteous and respectful of others and the facility.
