Coleman Park Community Center: Visitor Guide

Coleman Park Community Center Hours

Metro Nashville updated its official Coleman facility listing on September 28, 2026. It is the preferred source for current building hours.

Holiday & Weather Closures

Holiday hours, unexpected maintenance, Metro Parks facility closures and severe weather can affect opening times. Sunday is not listed as a normal operating day.

For a holiday, Sunday or time-sensitive visit, call 615-862-8445 and ask staff to confirm the building and activity schedule.

Fitness Center Admission, Memberships & Class Fees

Coleman’s fitness center uses affordable Metro Parks admission pricing. A fitness fee is different from paying for a separately scheduled exercise class.

The official facility page does not provide a precise youth age range for fitness admission. Ask staff about minimum ages, supervision and equipment restrictions before a young visitor uses the fitness room.

Fitness Class Prices

What May Be Free?

Metro Nashville describes many community center activities as free, including selected youth, senior and recreational programming. Fitness-equipment admission and separately priced classes are not automatically free.

• Ask about open-gym basketball and pickleball access.
• Confirm whether indoor walking-track access requires a fitness pass.
• Check youth enrichment registration and availability.
• Ask whether the current aquatic activity is free or fee-based.
• Bring identification if requesting an age-based discount.

For a comparison of admission models and affordable recreation-center memberships, read our community recreation center admission, passes and program guide.

Coleman Indoor Swimming Pool: Lap Swim, Open Swim & Water Exercise

Coleman Park Community Center has an indoor swimming pool with locker rooms. Its aquatics schedule separates lap swimming, public open swim, water walking, lessons and aquatic fitness activities.

Spring 2026 Official Pool Schedule Examples

The Metro Parks Spring 2026 PDF lists the following recurring activities. This is a useful example of how swim sessions are arranged, but it is not confirmation of an active October 2026 timetable.

Aquatic Activities Offered

The Spring 2026 PDF listed $4 parent-and-child and preschool aquatics sessions. That historical rate is not a guarantee for later sessions.

Before Swimming: 5 Checks

1. Choose your activity. Decide between lap swim, recreational swim, water aerobics or lessons.
2. Confirm the exact session. Use the current Metro Parks activity schedule.
3. Ask about admission. Check if your session is free, requires a class payment or needs registration.
4. Review safety rules. Ask about child supervision, appropriate swimwear and any restrictions on equipment or flotation devices.
5. Arrive prepared. Bring a towel and suitable swimwear, and allow time to use the locker rooms.

Fitness Center, Basketball, Pickleball & Walking Tracks

Recent Gym & Exercise Schedule Examples

Metro’s Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 programs included the following activities. The exact weekday or time may change in later schedules.

Past Coleman schedules state that participants age 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult for designated teen/family gym sessions. Check current supervision requirements before sending a child alone.

How to Join an Open Gym Session

1. Find the current Coleman activity schedule on the Metro Parks website.
2. Choose basketball, pickleball, family gym or another activity.
3. Confirm the participant age range, equipment and any admission charge.
4. Call the center if traveling specifically for one session.
5. Arrive before the session begins and follow the posted check-in rules.

After-School Care, Summer Enrichment & Youth Sports

Metro Nashville Parks offers structured youth programming through its community centers. Coleman’s facility page lists both after-school and Youth Summer Enrichment programs.

After-School Program

Metro Parks’ published Coleman schedules have included an after-school program for children ages 6–14, generally from 3:00–6:00 PM on school days.

Summer Enrichment

Metro Parks operates summer youth enrichment programs during the school summer break. Citywide programming typically serves ages 6–14, subject to the particular center’s confirmed registration dates, capacity and staffing.

How to Enroll Your Child

1. Confirm the child’s age. Ask staff whether the current program accepts that age and school grade.
2. Ask about available space. Programs may have a registration window, capacity limit or waiting list.
3. Prepare guardian information. Complete the City’s current youth information and consent forms.
4. Confirm the schedule. Ask about school-day hours, closures, arrival procedures and pickup deadlines.
5. Wait for confirmation. Do not assume enrollment until staff approve or confirm the child’s place.

Coleman Park Community Center Meeting & Event Rentals

Coleman has club rooms with a chef-style kitchen and gymnasium space that may be reserved for approved activities. Rentals require Metro Parks approval, and availability depends on public programs and staffing.

Published Regional Center Rental Rates

Metro Nashville’s Community Center Usage Permit lists the following regional-center rates for Davidson County residents and non-residents.

The full-facility rate excludes specified spaces including the dance studio, fitness center, pool and game room. Do not assume a whole-building rental grants private use of the swimming pool.

Reservation Requirements

• Metro Parks must approve the proposed activity.
• Reservations commonly require a minimum rental period.
• Setup and cleanup belong within the approved rental hours.
• A nonrefundable first-hour deposit may be required.
• The remaining balance is generally due before the rental date according to the signed permit.
• Fundraising events can require applications at least 60 days in advance.
• Some event equipment, vendors or high-risk activities can trigger additional insurance or security requirements.
• Alcohol, illegal drugs and weapons are prohibited inside Metro community centers.

How to Book Coleman Community Center

• Ask about accessible entrances, locker rooms and accommodations if needed.
• For a rental, ask the coordinator where guests should enter and park.

Coleman vs Other Nashville Community Centers

If Coleman is inconvenient for your location or activity schedule, compare our Southeast Community Center Nashville guide for alternative fitness hours, youth programs, recreation spaces and rental rules.

Local advice: Coleman serves the Thompson Lane and Flatrock area. For swimming, choosing the center with the right aquatic session is more important than choosing the closest center with general recreation hours.
