Facilities and Amenities

Bond Park Community Center operates as a multipurpose recreation facility. The Town lists sports, classes, camps, exhibitions and rooms for reservation.

Open Gym: Basketball, Pickleball, Badminton and Volleyball

The Town of Cary operates community-center open-gym sessions at Bond Park, Herbert C. Young and Middle Creek community centers. The sport, age category, court and start time are determined by the official schedule.

Current open-gym drop-in prices

The Town’s published community-center fee schedule lists the following single-visit rates.

These age-price categories follow the Town’s published fee table. Ask staff which youth ages qualify and what proof of residency or discounted eligibility is required.

Passes and repeat visits

Punch passes and annual pass options may reduce the effective price per visit. Published open-gym passes expire one year after purchase, so compare the expiration date and number of expected visits before buying.

How to choose the right pickleball session

• Beginner: for new players learning the sport and building confidence.
• All Levels: mixed-level social play with a range of skill levels.
• Advanced: faster, more competitive games for experienced players.

Bring suitable athletic footwear and ask whether paddles, balls, rackets or other equipment are provided. Court availability can change when programs or rentals are scheduled.

Recreation Programs, Classes and Camps

Bond Park Community Center offers scheduled recreation activities throughout the year. The Town updates its programs, dates and fees through Cary’s registration system.

Full-Day Camp

The Town describes its Full-Day Camp as an active program serving children with varied interests. Camp activities can include arts and crafts, nature study, games, sports and outdoor play.

Track-out, summer and school-break camps have different dates and eligibility rules. Verify grades, ages, program locations, registration windows, supervision arrangements and drop-off/pickup times on the individual listing.

How to register for a program

1. Open Cary’s registration system. Go to carync.gov/register.
2. Sign in or create an account. Provide the household and participant information requested.
3. Search the program catalog. Choose the activity and filter by Bond Park Community Center when available.
4. Open the program details. Read the age limit, dates, time, remaining places, fee and required materials.
5. Complete registration. Follow the prompts, submit payment when required and keep your confirmation.
6. Check attendance instructions. Review the location, check-in arrangements and refund or withdrawal policy.

Bond Park Community Center Room Rentals

Cary allows visitors to request selected community-center rooms through its RecTrac registration system. Rooms can be used for approved meetings, classes, community gatherings and other suitable activities.

What is included?

The Town’s community-center rental policy says tables and chairs are included with room rentals. Gymnasiums have collegiate-sized gym floors and bleacher-style seating and are available for athletic use only.

How much does a room rental cost?

The accessible Town community-center reservation information confirms the booking process and included furniture but does not provide a reliably itemized current Bond Park room-price table in the retrieved material. Rates can depend on room, duration, residency, event use and approved reservation terms.

Request the current rate for your exact room and date rather than relying on an old facility price list or assuming that the open-gym admission fee applies to private room rentals.

How to request a reservation

1. Choose your event. Decide whether you need a classroom-style space, a community meeting room or an athletic facility.
2. Prepare your details. Know your preferred date, alternative dates, guest count and hours including setup and cleanup.
3. Visit the reservations page. Open the Town’s community-center reservations page.
4. Sign in to RecTrac. Select a suitable community center and room, then submit the online request.
5. Wait for confirmation. A community center representative will contact you to confirm the reservation.
6. Review the emailed contract. Check the room, date, hours, equipment, fee and applicable rules.
7. Finalize officially. Complete the Town’s required agreement and payment instructions.

Booking Questions to Ask Before Paying

Town policies also address alcohol and other restricted activities. Do not assume private events can serve beer or wine without approval. Discuss the exact event with rental staff and follow the current permit and agreement requirements.

Community center versus park hours

Bond Park Boathouse Rentals and Prices

For visitors combining a community-center trip with boating, the Town publishes the following boathouse rental options.

Boat rentals are first-come, first-served and generally cannot be reserved in advance. An adult age 18+ must sign the liability waiver, life jackets must be worn, and boats must return before the posted closing time.

In October, the posted boathouse schedule is Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM–6 PM, subject to conditions and seasonal changes. The boathouse is listed as closed November–March.

Picnic Shelter Reservations at Bond Park

For outdoor gatherings, the Town identifies the Kiwanis and Buehler shelters in Bond Park as reservable spaces. Smaller shelters may allow direct checkout, while larger shelters can require a submitted request and staff confirmation.

How to reserve a picnic shelter

1. Open Cary’s official shelter reservations page.
2. Sign in to the RecTrac account.
3. Choose Search → Shelters.
4. Search for your desired date and shelter.
5. Review the capacity, facilities, rules and fees.
6. For eligible smaller shelters, complete checkout and payment.
7. For larger-request shelters, wait for staff confirmation and contract/payment instructions.

You may also ask about walk-in reservations at Bond Park Community Center. Do not use the Bond Lake waterfront’s individual picnic tables for a large organized event; the Town describes these as casual walk-up locations for groups of 10 or fewer.
