City of Fullerton Community Center: Visitor Guide

Fullerton Community Center Hours

These are the published general building hours. They do not mean that every facility or activity operates throughout the same period.

• The fitness room follows its own published operating schedule.
• The indoor pool has separate FAST swimming sessions.
• Classes, basketball and other sports use scheduled activity periods.
• Approved private rentals may have different arrangements from normal public access.

Fitness Room: Admission, Fees and Age Requirements

The fitness room is available to people aged 12 and older. The City requires minors to be accompanied by an adult for fitness activities.

• Monday–Friday: 7:30 AM–8 PM
• Saturday: 8 AM–3 PM

1. Visit the front desk at 340 W. Commonwealth Avenue.
2. Ask for the current drop-in or monthly fitness option.
3. Confirm the age and adult-accompaniment requirements.
4. Complete any required registration or waiver.
5. Pay the applicable fee and follow the facility’s equipment rules.

For frequent visitors, the $15 monthly option is worth comparing with the $5 individual visit. Three individual visits cost the same as one monthly pass.

Open Gym Basketball, Pickleball and Table Tennis

Open gym basketball

The City’s published Health & Fitness timetable lists open basketball for ages 12 and older.

The published drop-in price is $5, or the activity is included with the $15 monthly fitness pass.

Pickleball and table tennis

The City’s June 2026 Senior News bulletin publishes the following recreation timetable:

The June 2026 bulletin lists pickleball drop-in fees of $3 for residents and $4 for non-residents. It also describes play for beginners through advanced players, including singles and doubles.

Billiard room

The same City bulletin lists:

• Senior play for guests aged 50 and older: Monday–Friday, 8 AM–1 PM.
• Public play: Monday–Friday, 1:30 PM–6 PM.

Fullerton Community Center Indoor Pool

The indoor swimming pool is located inside the community center at 340 W. Commonwealth Avenue. It has six short-course lanes, each 25 yards long.

The pool is operated by Fullerton Aquatics Sports Team (FAST) in partnership with the City. Swimming admission, lap reservations, lessons and public-swim schedules are therefore handled separately from ordinary fitness-room access.

Indoor adult lap swimming

• Published lap-swim fee: $4 per one-hour time slot.
• Reservations are required for the indoor pool because capacity is limited.
• The reservation system opens every Saturday for the following week’s sessions.

Family recreation and open swim

Other swimming activities

FAST also publishes information about:

• Learn-to-swim lessons for children and adults.
• Adult swimming instruction.
• Water aerobics and aquatic fitness.
• Lap swimming and family recreation swim.

For additional guidance about different community-center swimming schedules, admission and lesson arrangements, see our community center pool guide.

Recreation Classes, Camps and Registration

Fullerton Parks and Recreation publishes activity guides three times per year, generally in January, May and September. They cover classes, camps, youth activities, recreation programs, arts, wellness and community events.

How to register for a class

Need help? Call 714-738-6575 or visit the front desk. City staff can assist with online registration by phone or in person.

Not every City recreation activity takes place at the community center. Check the location on the individual activity listing before registering.

For a broader checklist covering community recreation center classes, fees, schedules and day-pass questions, see our community recreation center visitor guide.

Senior Programs, Meals and Transportation

Fullerton Community Center works with the Senior Fullerton Club and community partners to provide activities, educational workshops, social opportunities, fitness programs and support services for older adults.

Examples of senior activities

These are examples from City senior-program publications, not a guarantee that every activity runs throughout the year. Check the latest monthly bulletin.

Senior Club Desk hours

Senior lunch and nutrition services

The June 2026 City senior bulletin describes an in-person senior nutrition program in partnership with Meals on Wheels OC.

• Lunch service: Monday–Friday, approximately 11 AM–11:30 AM.
• Lunch reservations are required.
• The published sign-up period is 10 AM–11 AM.
• The June 2026 bulletin lists $5 for people under 60 and a suggested $3 donation for people over 60.

For lunch reservations and current meal information, call 714-738-6575. The published Meals on Wheels site manager number is 714-738-6368.

Senior transportation assistance

The City’s June 2026 bulletin also describes an application-based transportation program.

These are limited services, not unrestricted taxi rides. The taxi program is application-based, and eligible destinations and availability can vary.

The same bulletin states that purchasing an OCTA senior bus pass requires valid identification and proof of Fullerton residency and age 60 or older. Ask the Senior Club Desk about the current pass and transportation application requirements.

For comparison with another California municipal recreation facility offering community programs and swimming-related services, see our Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center guide.

Fullerton Community Center Rentals and Event Spaces

The City offers different spaces for weddings, receptions, meetings, celebrations, fundraising events and other approved activities.

Important rental conditions

• The gymnasium is advertised for full-gym or half-gym reservations.
• The City advertises gymnasium rental availability seven days a week.
• Pool rentals are advertised for Saturday and Sunday only.
• Kitchen access is limited and depends on the rental arrangement.
• Professional caterers using the kitchen must provide relevant health permits and proof of insurance.
• Event layouts, guest capacity, equipment, staffing and additional approvals must be confirmed with the rental office.

What about rental prices?

The City has published rental fee flyers from earlier fiscal periods. Those historical documents should not be treated as guaranteed November 2026 rates.

Rather than relying on an outdated price list, request a written quote for your exact room, date, event type and guest count.

How to reserve a room or event space

1. Choose the Grand Hall, boardroom, classroom, gymnasium, pool, courtyard or trellis.
2. Estimate the number of guests and required seating arrangement.
3. Prepare your preferred event date and an alternative date.
4. Open the City’s official Fullerton Community Center rental page.
5. Use the Rental Inquiry option or call 714-738-6575.
6. Ask whether a site tour is available.
7. Request an itemized quote covering rental fees, staffing, deposits, equipment, insurance, kitchen access and any additional charges.
8. Read the current rental agreement and applicable facility rules before signing.
9. Complete the required contract and payment process to confirm the reservation.
