5460 Arden Avenue
Warren, MI 48092
Macomb County, Michigan
The City describes the facility as south of 14 Mile Road and west of Mound Road. Enter the Arden Avenue address for navigation instead of using the City Hall address at One City Square.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using outdated pool schedules: published operating hours do not guarantee same-day water access.
- Assuming daily passes are unrestricted: the 2026 City guide limits them to eligible residents.
- Ignoring the child’s age: swimming supervision and slide rules are stricter than normal public recreation entry.
- Confusing the auditorium with Civic Center rooms: rentals have separate pricing and event requirements.
- Expecting open gym all day: organized programs may occupy the courts.
- Using City Hall’s address: navigation to the Community Center should use 5460 Arden Avenue.
