The campus serves several facilities. Follow the appropriate building or activity signs upon arrival rather than assuming the pool, senior center, skate park and community center all use the same entrance.
For parking, wheelchair access or specific accommodation requests, call the center ahead of time. The City lists accessibility information for several nearby park facilities, but accessible parking availability and room-specific arrangements should be confirmed for your visit.
