What Is Inside Antioch Community Center?

The community center serves both everyday recreation and larger reserved events. Not every room is open for casual public use, and some spaces require registration or a rental contract.

Classes, Youth Activities and Recreation Programs

The Antioch Recreation Department publishes seasonal recreation guides with activities for children, teens, adults and older residents. These can include sports, preschool activities, camps, movement classes and special events.

Fall 2026–Winter 2027 Recreation Guide

The City has published a recreation guide covering October 2026 through January 2027, with online and in-person registration available. The current online catalog is the best place to see remaining spaces, dates and final activity charges.

How to register for a class

1. Open the City’s recreation page. Choose the current guide or online activity registration.
2. Search for the activity. Use its name, age group, category or activity number.
3. Check the exact session. Review the dates, venue, age range, time, fee and any special requirements.
4. Create or sign in to your account. Add the appropriate participant to your household profile.
5. Complete payment. Registration is generally first-come, first-served and payment is required at registration.
6. Save the confirmation. Use the final receipt for check-in or any later registration changes.

If a class is full, the City may offer a waitlist. Telephone and fax registration or payment are not accepted.

Registration Fees, Refunds and Financial Assistance

Class fees are set by the specific program rather than one universal community-center admission rate. Some classes have different resident and nonresident prices.

Scholarships and fee assistance

Antioch offers recreation scholarship and fee-assistance opportunities for eligible residents, including people age 17 and younger or age 50 and older who meet household-income conditions. Availability depends on program rules and available funds.

Applications generally open in January and are accepted while funding remains. Some individual scholarship programs have narrower application periods.

Gymnasium: Basketball, Volleyball and Pickleball

The Antioch Community Center gym hosts scheduled drop-in activities and sports programs. These are different from a privately rented gym court.

2026 published drop-in examples

The City’s Spring 2026 Recreation Guide listed the following sessions. They are historical examples for that season, not a guaranteed Fall 2026 schedule.

Those sessions had specified no-play dates, so even a published weekly schedule did not mean the activity ran every week. For visitors ages 14–17, the Spring guide required identification and a signed waiver for qualifying teen activities.

What to bring

• Identification when the sport or age group requires it.
• Completed participant waiver if applicable.
• Appropriate indoor athletic shoes.
• Water bottle and personal sports equipment if required.
• Payment for drop-in admission.

Antioch Community Center Rental Rates and Capacities

How to Book an Antioch Community Center Event

For an indoor event, the Recreation Department directs renters to contact staff about availability and arrange a contract or room-viewing appointment.

1. Decide on your room. Choose Full Ballroom, Half Ballroom, Quarter Ballroom, West Island Room, Amphitheater or another approved facility based on your guest count and setup.
2. Prepare your event details. Include the requested date, rental start and end times, actual function times, guest count, children attending and type of event.
3. Call the Recreation Department. Dial 925-776-3050, extension 0, to ask about availability and schedule a room-viewing or contract appointment.
4. Review the application. Complete the City’s rental application with all required details, facilities and extra equipment.
5. Get a complete quote. Confirm the current hourly rate, minimum booking, nonprofit eligibility, deposit and any staffing or insurance requirements.
6. Attend the contract appointment. The City says the initial rental deposit must be paid in person at the time of reservation.
7. Pay additional balances officially. The City offers later account payments through its online registration/payment system.
8. Keep final documents. Save the signed contract, receipt, approved setup, event schedule and instructions for vendors.

Accepted initial deposit payment methods

The City’s indoor-rentals page lists cash, check, credit or debit card, and Apple Pay for the initial in-person deposit.

Making additional payments online

For a personal reservation, sign into the official registration account, open My Account, select Pay on Account, enter the amount and complete the checkout prompts.
