The City publishes the following regular Community Center schedule:

Main phone: 626-813-5245, extension 311.
Email: srecreation@baldwinparkca.gov.

Check holidays and event-related closures before traveling. The official Esther Snyder Community Center page is the primary source for regular hours and current programs.

Facilities: What Can Visitors Use?

The adjacent Morgan Park provides additional outdoor recreation including a playground, picnic areas, splash pads, sports facilities and an amphitheater.

Programs: Sports, Fitness, Arts & Youth Activities

The City offers programs for different ages and abilities. Activities are scheduled by season, so the availability of a class or team must be confirmed before registration.

How to Register for Baldwin Park Recreation Programs

The City requires a household account before participants can use its online recreation registration service.

1. Visit Esther Snyder Community Center. Go to the front counter at 4100 Baldwin Park Boulevard during regular staffed hours.
2. Create your household account. Provide your address, telephone number, email, participants’ dates of birth and an emergency contact number where available.
3. Bring identification. Nonresidents need valid photo identification.
4. Verify residency for discounts. Baldwin Park residents seeking eligible resident rates should bring a photo ID displaying their Baldwin Park address and a recent utility bill showing the same name and address.
5. Select the activity. Ask staff to help locate a class or use the official WebTrac registration portal after account creation.
6. Review eligibility. Check the program’s age range, dates, activity location, fee and any required waivers.
7. Complete enrollment. Follow the City’s payment and registration instructions, then save confirmation of the activity.

Boxing Club & Weight Training: Published Fees

The City’s detailed facility listing publishes separate boxing and weight-room membership rates. These rates are useful references but may be older than the current program season, so verify them before payment.

Boxing & Weight-Room Hours

For new participants, ask about the current minimum age, equipment, safety requirements, coaching schedule and approval for competition.

Games Room & Technology Center

The recreation facility has low-barrier indoor activities for visitors who are not attending an organized sports class.

Games Room

The City lists ping-pong, billiards, foosball and air hockey.

Check whether equipment or admission has changed before visiting. The City describes games-room use as open to visitors but may apply capacity and supervision rules.

Technology Center

The Technology Center has public computer workstations for schoolwork and leisure, with internet access. The City’s older listing mentions Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2010, so those software details should not be relied on as current.

• Bring valid identification if required for workstation access.
• Workstations are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Usage time limits may apply.
• Ask about printing, internet availability, accessibility and current software.

Aquatic Center: Swimming & Water Exercise

The Esther Snyder facility includes an aquatic center. The City advertises swimming, water aerobics and aquatic resistance programs, but pool access is not automatically available throughout the main building’s opening hours.

Before a Pool Visit

1. Call 626-813-5245, extension 311.
2. Ask whether you need open swimming, lessons, aquatic resistance or water aerobics.
3. Confirm the exact pool schedule and whether the class is open to registration.
4. Ask about admission, residency discounts, supervision rules and swimwear.
5. Check closures and required equipment before traveling.

Pool rental: private Aquatic Center rental is listed separately from recreation swim and lessons. See the rental fees below; private bookings require City approval.

BASiC Childcare & Seasonal Camps

Baldwin Park’s Before & After School Care program, known as BASiC, serves students from transitional kindergarten through sixth grade. Registration is handled through Esther Snyder Community Center, while daily care takes place at participating school sites.

2026–27 School-Year Information

The earlier February–April 2026 guide listed $65 resident and $80 nonresident weekly prices. Because rates changed between publications, request the current school-year fee when registering.

Childcare contact: 626-813-5245, extension 332; Childservices@baldwinparkca.gov.

How to Ask About Childcare Enrollment

1. Confirm the child’s grade and the school they attend.
2. Call the childcare program and check whether that school participates.
3. Ask about current weekly tuition, registration fee and available openings.
4. Request enrollment forms, emergency contact requirements and pickup rules.
5. Submit the application through the City and follow its payment instructions.
6. Confirm the actual care location and start date.

The center also coordinates school-break camps and seasonal activities. Camp dates and fees are different from regular school-year childcare.

Esther Snyder Community Center Rental Fees

The City of Baldwin Park publishes a facility fee schedule dated October 20, 2025. It lists the following rental rates for Esther Snyder Community Center. Prices are per hour unless stated otherwise.

Deposit: the published fee sheet lists a $150 security deposit for each Esther Snyder rental category shown above.

Application Charges & Important Conditions

Example Rental Budget

A three-hour reservation of Meeting Rooms 1 & 2 at the listed resident rate calculates to $210 in hourly rent. Adding the published $150 deposit and $30 resident processing fee gives $390 in initial listed charges, before any additional applicable costs. Confirm whether the room can be booked for that duration and which charges are refundable.

How to Reserve a Room, Gym or Pool

1. Choose the space. Decide whether you need a meeting room, dance studio, games room, gym or aquatic facility.
2. Estimate attendance. Use the published maximum capacity and explain any special equipment or layout needs.
3. Prepare possible dates. Include the event, setup and cleanup periods.
4. Contact the center. Call 626-813-5245, extension 311, and ask about the requested facility.
5. Request a current quote. Check resident or nonresident pricing, deposits, processing fees and any staffing or additional costs.
6. Open the official City facility page. Use its facility rental forms or reservation link.
7. Review event restrictions. Discuss food, decorations, amplified sound, alcohol, pool safety, inflatable equipment and insurance as applicable.
8. Submit the rental request. Provide the application and supporting information required by the City.
9. Complete payment and approval. Follow the City’s official instructions before treating a date as reserved.
10. Save your confirmation. Confirm the room, entrance, arrival time, approved setup and cleanup responsibilities.

For a private aquatic event, ask specifically about supervision and lifeguard staffing; a room-rental price does not establish all pool operating requirements.

Morgan Park: Playgrounds, Splash Pads & Picnic Rentals

Morgan Park is adjacent to Esther Snyder Community Center at the same Baldwin Park Boulevard address. It provides outdoor recreation that is separate from indoor gym and pool programs.

• Playground areas.
• Picnic tables and barbecue areas.
• Outdoor basketball courts.
• Sports fields and fitness zones.
• Amphitheater for approved events.
• Seasonal splash pads.

Outdoor Rental Prices

The published deposits are $150 for picnic shelters and $300 for the amphitheater. Amphitheater events may incur lighting or security charges. The City’s older facility listing shows splash-pad hours of 10 AM–8 PM, but current seasonal operation should be confirmed separately.

Address, Parking & Directions

Parking & Accessibility

• Los Angeles County’s facility directory lists free on-site parking.
• The County directory identifies elevator access to the second floor.
• For private events, ask whether any parking area is reserved or affected by concurrent Morgan Park activities.
