Easton Community Center: Hours, Programs, Rentals & Map

Easton Community Center Hours

The center publishes general hours on its About Us page and separate seasonal schedules on its Registration and Directions pages. These are not entirely consistent, particularly on Saturdays.

Seasonal Schedule Differences

Individual sports, preschool, fitness and after-school activities operate according to their own schedules. General building hours do not guarantee that a gym court or program is open for drop-in use.

What Facilities Does Easton Community Center Have?

The nonprofit opened the Community Center in January 2003. Its programs are supported through memberships, fundraising and program income rather than regular municipal tax funding.

Fitness Center Age Rules

The center’s published fitness guidance states that users normally must be 16 or older. Participants ages 14–15 may be eligible with a doctor’s release and special permission under the published policy.

ECC also describes approximately 20-minute equipment orientations and optional personal-training arrangements at an extra charge.

Playtots Preschool: Ages, Days & Hours

ECC’s Playtots Preschool provides early-childhood classes and extended-care arrangements. The schedule differs by children’s age and selected class.

Helen Keller Middle School After-School Program

The Center operates a separate supervised after-school recreation program for eligible Helen Keller Middle School students.

The center describes this program as supervised drop-in recreation, not ordinary licensed daycare. Children are escorted from the middle school by ECC staff and can leave only under the program’s approved pickup rules.

Eligibility & Registration

• Current ECC family membership.
• Completed registration and emergency-contact paperwork.

Easton Community Center Rentals: Rooms & Events

ECC rents a variety of indoor facilities for approved private, community and organizational events. A current ECC membership is required to rent its listed facilities.

ECC also promotes event coordination for birthdays, corporate gatherings, fundraisers, graduations, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, school functions, receptions and anniversary celebrations.

Rental Rates & Contacts

The center does not publish a complete, current public price schedule for all rental spaces. Rather than presenting unverified hourly prices, contact the facility team for a current quote.

3. Estimate attendance. Include the number of adults, children, organizers and vendors.
4. Prepare dates and times. Include setup, the event itself and cleanup.

7. Request an itemized quote. Ask about the room price, staffing, deposit, cleaning, insurance and any other charges.
8. Confirm event policies. Discuss food, alcohol, music, decorations, supervision and cancellations.
9. Complete the approved booking process. Submit any required application and payment through ECC.
