Quick Facts: What to Know Before Going

Lubber Run Community Center Hours

Regular hours are not a promise of access during holidays, severe weather, maintenance or special events. For weather-related updates, call 703-228-4715.

Programs and Facilities: Choose the Right Activity

Lubber Run serves children, teenagers, adults and older residents. Not every program is offered every day or in every season.

Facilities Available at the Center

How to Register for a Program

1. Select the age group: Preschool, youth, teen, adult or 55+.
2. Choose the activity: Sports, fitness, early childhood, arts or other recreation.
3. Open the Arlington County program page: Review the activities offered at Lubber Run.
4. Find the current session: Verify dates, capacity, fees, minimum age and any required membership.
5. Complete registration: Use the county registration system or get front-desk assistance. Save your confirmation.

Pickleball, Basketball & Volleyball Schedule

The published weekly activity schedule provides useful starting times. Court use can change because of events, holidays and seasonal programming, so confirm before making a special trip.

This summarizes Arlington County’s published weekly schedule; it is not a live court availability feed. On Fridays, the county also lists teen basketball from 3–6 PM, youth/teen open gym from 3:30–6 PM and a 6–9 PM teen basketball block. Confirm the correct age and activity before attending.

Fitness Center: Equipment, Memberships & Class Fees

The fitness room contains cardio machines, strength equipment and locker/shower facilities. Listed equipment includes Matrix treadmills and elliptical machines, indoor bikes, rowing equipment, a Smith press, strength machines and a functional trainer.

Community Center Fitness Membership Fees

These are county-listed community center fitness prices, not Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center membership rates. Proof of residency, age restrictions and other membership conditions may apply.

Drop-In Fitness Class Prices

Arlington County’s Lubber Run class page lists a fitness membership requirement for its drop-in group class pricing. Some outdoor class offerings may have different access conditions. Confirm the exact class before purchasing a pass.

How to Start Using the Fitness Center

1. Choose your age group and resident/non-resident category.
2. Decide whether a short-term, annual or other eligible pass makes sense.
3. Bring identification and any documentation needed to verify eligibility.
4. Visit the Lubber Run front desk to arrange an available membership option.
5. Ask for an equipment orientation if you are new to the machines.
6. For fitness classes, check the current timetable and pay any separate class fee.

Lubber Run Room Rentals: Capacities, Prices & Booking

Planning a community meeting, nonprofit gathering, workshop or presentation? Lubber Run has several reservable multipurpose rooms. The room choice should depend on your group size, layout and equipment needs—not simply the lowest listed price.

Meeting Room Comparison

Oak: Suitable for larger meetings and presentations. Listed equipment includes Wi-Fi, a wall-mounted television, surround sound, presentation connections and a podium.

Hickory: Mid-sized space with similar presentation technology. Oak and Hickory may also be rented together, subject to the county’s combined-room rules and applicable pricing.

Beech: Smaller gathering room with Wi-Fi, television, presentation connections and a sink/countertop area.

How to Request a Rental

1. Choose a room: Compare your expected guest count with the room’s published capacity.
2. Prepare event information: Date, start/end time, setup/cleanup time, attendance, event purpose and equipment needs.
3. Check availability: Use Arlington County’s facility reservation system to search the date and space.
4. Review policies: Check residency pricing, cancellation rules, minimum duration and any extra fees.
5. Submit a request: If the room is inquiry-only or cannot be booked online, complete the county’s Facility Request Form and email it to the scheduling office.
6. Wait for approval: Do not advertise the room as confirmed or finalize vendor commitments until the county confirms the reservation.
7. Keep your confirmation: Save approved timing, payment terms, room designation and any facility-use conditions.

Lubber Run Park: Playgrounds, Trails & Picnic Areas

The community center connects with Lubber Run Park, a 31-acre public park with recreation and nature spaces. It can be a good choice for combining an indoor activity with outdoor play or a short walk.

Important address distinction: Lubber Run Community Center’s main entrance address is 300 N Park Drive. The separate official Lubber Run Park listing uses 200 N Columbus Street. For indoor classes or fitness, navigate to the community center, not the park’s alternative address.

Commercial activities such as paid training, commercial photography or business services in the park generally need county authorization. Check park rules before organizing a commercial event.

Address, Parking, Directions & Map

Map location: 300 N Park Drive, Arlington, VA 22203. If the embedded map does not load, use the directions link above.

Accessibility & Visitor Comfort

The facility lists accessible restrooms, changing facilities and other public amenities. If you need a specific accessible route, accessible activity equipment, support for a participant or a particular room setup, call ahead and explain the requirement.

55+ Programs: Passes, Prices & Who to Contact

Lubber Run is an important location for Arlington County’s 55+ services. A 55+ recreation pass is not always the same thing as a fitness center membership, so check the benefit attached to the program you want.

Some 55+ drop-in activities need a valid pass but no advance signup, while other programs require registration. Class capacity and activity-specific charges can still apply.

55+ program office: 703-228-4747, option 3 · 55Plus@arlingtonva.us.

Before You Leave: 5 Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Assuming gym time means open basketball: The sports court has scheduled uses, even while the building is open.
2. Confusing fitness and general recreation access: Check membership requirements for the fitness room and group classes separately.
3. Booking a room based only on capacity: Ask about presentation equipment, table arrangement, setup time and fees.
4. Navigating to the park instead of the center: Use 300 N Park Drive when attending indoor programs.
5. Assuming a regular schedule applies during special events: Verify holiday closures, weather and temporary activity changes.
