Maryland Heights Community Ctr Maryland Heights MO: Guide

Community Center Hours and Contact Information

The Maryland Heights Community Center is operated by the City of Maryland Heights Parks and Recreation Department. The 92,000-square-foot facility opened in 2017 and includes recreation, aquatic, fitness and event spaces.

Daily Admission Fees: How Much Does It Cost?

You do not have to purchase an annual membership to use the Community Center. Daily admission is available for residents and non-residents, making it useful for occasional gym visits, swimming and trying the facility.

The following prices appear in the city’s Summer 2025 Parks and Recreation Guide. They are useful published reference rates, but should be confirmed for 2026 before payment.

How to Buy a Day Pass

1. Check the activity. Decide whether you want the pool, gym, fitness equipment or a group exercise class.
2. Check today’s availability. Call (314) 738-2599, especially if your trip depends on a particular pool feature or gym court.
3. Bring identification. Bring proof of residency if requesting resident pricing. Ask staff which documents they accept.
4. Visit the welcome desk. Request daily admission, confirm the applicable rate and pay according to current facility procedures.
5. Check the rules. Ask about wristbands or check-in requirements and the areas included in your admission.

Membership Prices and Options

If you visit several times per month, a membership may make more sense than paying daily. The city’s published membership structure includes adults, youth, seniors, families, additional children and household add-on options.

Published Basic Membership Reference Rates

These rates are from the official Summer 2025 recreation guide, not a confirmed 2026 price schedule.

Monthly figures should not be assumed to represent cancellation-anytime contracts. Ask about agreement duration, billing authorization, renewals, refunds and cancellation terms before enrolling.

• Access to the fitness center.
• Use of the indoor aquatic center during available swimming hours.
• Gymnasium access when not reserved for other programming.
