Genoveva Chavez Community Center: Visitor Guide

Quick Facts: Address, Phone & Main Facilities

Building & Activity Hours

These are general building hours. Pool access, ice skating, hockey, fitness classes, racquetball reservations and special activities use separate schedules.

Events, maintenance and staffing can affect a specific area even while the main center is open.

Admission Fees, Passes & Membership Prices

The city publishes daily admission and several membership options. A daily pass is useful for an occasional visit; frequent users may save with a multi-visit or monthly pass.

Daily general admission

Membership comparison

Other published options include adult couple, senior couple and family memberships. For example, the listed annual family membership is $884, while an annual adult couple membership is $804.

Corporate membership discounts

The city advertises a 20% corporate discount for qualifying employers with at least five participating employees. Listed discounted annual fees include $378.50 for an individual adult and $189 for a youth or senior.

Ask the reception desk whether your employer is enrolled before purchasing a regular membership.

Which pool should you use?

Before your first swim

1. Choose the pool: Decide between lap swimming, therapy exercise or family recreation.
2. Match the time: Compare your desired visit against the weekday or weekend schedules above.
3. Check current notices: Open the city’s official recreation page and review the latest aquatic updates.
4. Confirm special requirements: Call 505-955-4052 about lane availability, accessibility, youth supervision or aquatic classes.
5. Bring swim essentials: Pack appropriate swimwear, a towel and any necessary personal items.
6. Pay and check in: Follow the admission process and posted pool rules before entering the water.

Because the pools recently reopened after mechanical repairs, checking the updated operating notice is especially important when swimming is your main reason for visiting.

Ice Skating, Skate Rentals, Hockey & Curling

The GCCC Ice Arena offers public skating, hockey activities, skating lessons and organized ice sports. Ice times are scheduled separately from general center hours.

Skating equipment prices

The city reports approximately 700 pairs of rental skates, including hockey and figure skates. Sizes and styles remain first-come, first-served.

How to find public skating times

1. Open the official GCCC page.
2. Scroll to the Ice Arena section.
3. Find the current dated weekly ice schedule. The city publishes separate weekly schedules.
4. Check for “Public Skate” rather than a reserved hockey session or private booking.
5. Contact the ice arena on 505-955-4033 if you need to confirm availability or equipment.
6. Arrive early enough for admission, skate fitting and locker-room preparation.

Hockey and skating instruction

GCCC supports adult and youth hockey programs, including organized leagues and drop-in opportunities. The facility works with the Santa Fe Hockey Association for youth activities.

Figure-skating and beginner instruction are also available through coaches and the Santa Fe Skating Club. Visit Santa Fe Skating Club for its current lesson information.

Curling in Santa Fe

The facility also hosts curling opportunities, including beginner sessions, pickup games and leagues. For current offerings, visit Santa Fe Curling and review the learn-to-curl or league schedule.

Gym, Pickleball, Racquetball & Fitness Facilities

The center has a regulation basketball court, adjacent warm-up spaces, racquetball courts, weight and cardio equipment, and fitness programs.

How to reserve racquetball

1. Call 505-955-4067.
2. Ask about current racquetball court availability.
3. Choose an available session and confirm how the reservation is recorded.
4. Ask whether the published $2 nonmember charge applies to your booking.
5. Bring appropriate court shoes and equipment, or ask whether loaner equipment is available.

Fitness classes and personal training

For exercise classes, use the Fitness Schedule link on the official GCCC page. Verify age rules, fees, instructor availability and class registration before arrival.

For authorized personal training arrangements, contact the gym and fitness department. The facility requires trainers to meet certification, insurance and safety requirements; independently hiring a trainer does not automatically authorize a session inside the building.

Family Visits, Youth Activities & Visitor Rules

GCCC is useful for families because swimming, ice skating and indoor sports are available in one complex. However, age rules, supervision and separate session times matter.

What to bring

• Comfortable sportswear and clean athletic shoes for indoor courts.
• Swimwear and towels for swimming.
• Warm clothing, socks and appropriate protective equipment for ice skating.
• Payment method or membership credential for check-in.
• A personal lock if needed, subject to locker policies.
• Confirmation details for reserved classes or parties.

Birthday Parties, Ice Arena & Facility Rentals

GCCC accommodates approved rentals involving ice activities, gym space, swimming and other community uses. The correct reservation process depends on the type of event.

Ice-skating birthday parties

A published city birthday-party flyer describes party-zone and classroom packages for public skating sessions. Its historical package terms include:

These figures come from a 2023 city flyer, not a confirmed 2026 rate. Ask the ice arena about current packages, participant limits, times and costs before booking.

How to request an event or party rental

1. Decide what you need: Choose an ice party, pool event, gym activity or other rentable room.
2. Prepare event information: Include preferred date, alternatives, expected attendance, activity and required duration.
3. Open the official facility page: Go to the city’s GCCC page.
4. Find birthday or rental forms: Under the Ice Arena section, locate the birthday party request and rental documents.
5. Review current conditions: Check party packages, capacity, supervision, equipment and food restrictions.
6. Submit a request: Complete the applicable form and send it as directed by the facility.
7. Wait for approval: The city states that submitting a reservation form does not confirm a booking. Staff must review availability and finalize the arrangement.
8. Complete payment: Follow the authorized payment instructions once the event is approved.
