Cleveland Heights Community Center: Visitor Guide

Quick Answers: What Can You Do Here?

Cleveland Heights Community Center Hours

These are the normal Community Center and front-desk hours. Special events, ice rink schedules, holiday closures and maintenance can affect individual activities.

Remaining 2026 Holiday Closures

Fitness Center Membership Fees: 2026 Prices

The fitness center and Field House include gym access, the indoor track and exercise facilities. The City offers annual and 30-day passes with separate rates for Cleveland Heights residents and non-residents.

Cleveland Heights Resident Rates

Non-Resident Rates

The published resident daily rate for the fitness center and track is $6. Non-resident daily admission should be confirmed directly because the referenced 2026 fee sheet does not clearly specify its amount.

What Counts as a Family Membership?

The City’s definition covers the adult head of household, their spouse or partner, and dependent children age 18 and under living in the household.

Proof of Residency

The City’s 2026 membership fee information requires a photo ID for memberships and drop-in visits.

• Accepted photo ID examples: driver’s license, state ID or passport.

• If the photo ID does not show that address, provide two additional qualifying documents.
• Recent utility bills, bank statements or phone bills dated within the previous month are listed as acceptable.

5. Bring suitable clothing, socks, identification and payment.
6. Arrive before the scheduled session to allow time for check-in and skate fitting.
