Milton Community Center: Hours, Programs, Rentals & Map

The main building may be open while its gym or rooms are occupied by private reservations, senior activities or sports programs. Confirm availability before visiting for a particular activity.

Fitness Room Membership Prices

The City publishes the following fitness room membership rates for the Clyde L. Gracey Community Center.

• Wear appropriate exercise clothing and athletic shoes.
• Bring a workout towel and clean equipment after use.
• Plastic water bottles are permitted; food and other drinks are restricted.
• Bikes and treadmills have a 30-minute limit when other users are waiting.
• Return weights and accessories to their correct places.

Programs, Sports & Senior Activities

Milton Parks and Recreation provides activities for children, adults and older residents. Not every program is available year-round, so the current schedule matters more than the building’s regular hours.

Senior Programs: Weekly Activities

The City’s senior program primarily serves adults age 55 and older. Regularly advertised activities include:

For the senior program, call 850-983-5466 and ask for the senior activities coordinator.

Yoga, Chair Exercise & Recreation Classes

The City’s yoga page lists Tuesday and Friday morning classes:

A separate City sports overview contains an older variation of the Thursday schedule. Use the dedicated yoga page as the more specific published listing, and call before attending if the class is important to your visit.

2. Open the relevant City page. Check the official sports or senior activity information.

How Much Will Your Milton Rental Cost?

The minimum booking requirement matters when budgeting.

Prices are examples calculated from published charges, not live reservation quotes. The City charges for all reserved time that prevents others using the space, including setup, breakdown and cleanup.

How to Book a Room or Gym

1. Choose the space. Decide between the Gracey Room, Meeting Room C, conference room, gymnasium or kitchen arrangements.
2. Estimate attendance. Tell staff the total number of guests, including children, organizers and vendors.
3. Prepare your dates. Choose a preferred and backup date, accounting for setup and cleanup.
4. Contact Parks and Recreation. Call 850-983-5466 or email parksandrec@miltonfl.org to ask about availability.
5. Download the rental form. Complete the City of Milton Clyde L. Gracey Community Center Room Rental Application.
6. Provide applicant information. The form asks for the applicant’s name, contact details, organization, event date, time, room and event type. Applicants must be at least 18.
7. List equipment needs. State how many tables and chairs you require, plus any PA system or projector needs.
8. Get approval. Reservations are not valid until approved by the Parks Director or an authorized designee.
9. Pay the full charge. The rental form states that payment in full is required to complete the reservation.
10. Keep the approved agreement. Follow the assigned entry time, setup rules and cleanup obligations.

Rental Rules That Could Affect Your Event

• Approvals: A submitted form is not itself a confirmed reservation.

• Cleanup: Renters must remove decorations and belongings, wipe tables and dispose of trash.

Tennis & Pickleball at Milton Community Center

The Dr. O.K. “Doc” Matthews Tennis Complex is located on Sanders Street between the Milton Community Center and W.H. Rhodes Elementary School.

The City identifies six tennis/pickleball courts, a practice court and USTA-approved lighting. The facility supports recreational play and organized tennis activities.

Ask the center about court access, keys, organized events and any reservations before traveling.

Nearby City Parks & Outdoor Rentals

If your gathering needs an outdoor picnic area rather than a room, Milton Parks and Recreation manages several separate park spaces.

The City publishes $40 three-hour picnic-area reservations and $100 daily gazebo or pavilion rentals for specified park locations. Fees and availability are different from indoor center rentals.

Outdoor park hours are generally sunrise to 10 PM, but particular amenities have their own restrictions. Carpenter’s Park splash pad and gazebo availability are seasonal.

Location, Parking & Map

Use the Byrom Street address rather than Milton City Hall when navigating. The tennis complex is nearby on Sanders Street, not necessarily at the same entrance.

Ask staff for the correct accessible entrance, parking arrangements and event arrival instructions if you are attending a large function or need accommodations.

Before You Visit: A Practical Checklist

For visitors unfamiliar with how recreation centers distinguish gym hours from pool hours, memberships and class schedules, our Matt Dishman Community Center visitor guide offers another practical example of activity-specific planning.
