• New Year’s Day

What’s Inside Greater Plymouth Community Center?

The Township also offers recreation events, preschool activities, camps, youth leagues, adult classes and senior programs.

2026 Daily Admission and Membership Fees

The published 2026 rates distinguish Plymouth Township residents from nonresidents, and adults from youth and seniors.

Daily Pass

A day pass provides access to eligible pool, fitness center and gymnasium facilities. Age restrictions and individual activity schedules apply.

2026 Plymouth Township Resident Memberships

2026 Nonresident Memberships

Age categories: Youth ages 3–17; adults ages 18–61; seniors ages 62 and older.

College Pass

GPCC also lists a discounted college pass for students presenting a valid college identification card:

• One month: $49
• Three months: $100

Annual memberships may be arranged through monthly deductions. Enrollment and payment setup requirements should be confirmed at the front desk.

Which Pass Is Right for You?

For example, a Plymouth Township resident adult paying $49 for a one-month pass spends less than four separate $15 weekday visits. That makes a monthly pass potentially more economical for frequent visitors.

Indoor Swimming: Lap Pool, Children’s Pool and Lessons

The aquatic center includes an 11-lane, 25-yard indoor lap pool and a children’s leisure pool. GPCC also offers swim lessons and water exercise classes.

Published Lap Pool Hours

These are representative hours from the Township’s published pool timetables. GPCC now directs visitors to its PTPR mobile app for the detailed current lane and activity schedule.

Children’s Leisure Pool

The Township’s published weekend schedule has listed leisure-pool hours from noon to 3 p.m. Summer publications have also listed weekday children’s pool sessions.

Because these hours depend on season and staffing, confirm the exact children’s pool schedule before bringing a family.

Swim Lessons and Water Aerobics

• Children’s swimming instruction
• Age- and skill-appropriate group lessons
• Adult swim instruction when offered
• Water aerobics
• Aquatics certification programs
• Special aquatic events

Lesson dates, participant ages, fees and registration requirements vary by season.

Swimming and Fitness Age Rules

Children under the listed independent-use ages require appropriate adult supervision. Specific swim lessons, water features, workouts or sports sessions may have additional age and safety restrictions.

Fitness Center, Indoor Track and Exercise Classes

The fitness center offers cardiovascular and strength-training equipment. GPCC also has an indoor walking track and scheduled land-based exercise classes.

Before Using the Fitness Center

1. Choose a valid daily, monthly, annual or eligible special pass.
2. Check whether you meet the fitness center’s minimum age requirement.
3. For passes longer than a day, complete the Township’s Basic Physical Standards form.
4. If a form response requires medical clearance, obtain the appropriate physician referral before using the equipment.
5. Bring the forms to the center or complete the necessary registration steps with staff.
6. Ask about the complimentary introductory personal-training appointment.

The Township offers an introductory one-to-one training session to explain equipment use and basic fitness-center procedures. Additional personal training can be purchased separately.

Fitness Activities

Basketball, Pickleball, Volleyball and Open Gym

GPCC’s gymnasium hosts organized recreation, scheduled open gym, basketball, volleyball, pickleball and leagues.

Open gym is not guaranteed throughout general building hours. Court availability can change when programs, practices, leagues or private reservations use the space.

Before Arriving for a Sport

• Check the correct open-gym activity schedule.
• Confirm whether the court is shared or dedicated to one sport.
• Check participant age restrictions.
• Ask whether equipment is available or if you should bring your own.
• Confirm day-pass or membership requirements.
• Ask whether a league or special event affects your preferred time.

Children’s Programs, Preschool and Camps

Plymouth Township Parks & Recreation operates programs for different age groups, including preschool activities, youth sports, after-school programs, specialty classes and summer camps.

Camp Registration Requirements

The Township’s 2026 camp documents required online enrollment and completed paperwork before attendance.

• Online registration and general waiver
• Pediatrician-completed medical form
• Parent or guardian information
• Program-specific pickup procedures
• Any required trip authorization
• Emergency contact information

Camp GPCC’s 2026 parent manual also describes separate pickup procedures based on the child’s age and whether the family uses extended care.

Programs for Adults and Seniors

GPCC offers recreation classes, fitness programs, organized activities, senior programs and social events.

The exact lineup varies by season, but the Township’s recreation directory organizes activities into adult programs, senior programs and Silver Socials.

How to Find a Suitable Program

1. Open the official GPCC program guide.
2. Choose adult, senior, fitness or another relevant category.
3. Check activity dates, fees, age restrictions and remaining spaces.
4. Look for Township-resident discounts where applicable.
5. Register online or follow the activity’s published instructions.
6. Save the activity number and confirmation.

The facility may also accept eligible insurance-sponsored fitness membership arrangements. Medicare or Medicaid coverage alone does not guarantee free membership; ask whether your exact plan qualifies.

Rent Rooms for Parties, Meetings and Events

Greater Plymouth Community Center offers meeting rooms suitable for birthday parties, baby showers, organizational meetings, training events and other approved gatherings.

2026 Events and Community Activities

GPCC hosts community gatherings and seasonal Township events in addition to everyday fitness and recreation.

The published Holiday Market vendor spaces are sold out. Visitors should still check the official event calendar for any entry requirements or event updates.

For outdoor recreation or pavilion use, confirm whether the desired park area requires a reservation, separate fees or an event permit.
