Kroc Community Center Greenville SC: Visitor Guide

Kroc Greenville Opening Hours

These are regular main-building hours. Recreation-pool sessions, lap swimming, group fitness, tennis and individual sports programs can operate on separate schedules.

Holiday hours can be shorter. The center lists closures or reduced hours for selected holidays including Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. Its official hours page should be used for the particular date.

Guest Passes: Visit Without Membership

Kroc Greenville currently advertises two-hour guest passes. An adult pass costs $12. Recreation swimming has its own reservation and payment rules.

How guest passes work

1. Choose the activity and check its available time window.
2. Purchase ordinary guest passes at the center’s Front Desk. Basketball and recreation-pool guest passes can be purchased online.
3. Bring a valid photo ID.
4. Complete the first-visit waiver. The center keeps the waiver on file for 12 months.
5. For youth, bring the required parent or legal guardian on the first visit to sign the waiver.
6. Check in before the reserved activity starts.

The official guest-pass page advises calling the Front Desk when redeeming previously purchased guest passes so staff can reserve an available session.

For visitors deciding between a daily pass, a longer-term pass and activity-specific registration, our community recreation center guide to admissions, fees and pool schedules explains the main differences to check before paying. It is general guidance; Greenville Kroc’s actual prices are listed above.

2026 Kroc Greenville Membership Prices

The center published membership rates effective February 1, 2026. Standard membership provides the main Kroc Center package, Tennis covers the separate tennis facility, and Kroc PLUS combines both.

Tennis-only monthly rates

Annual plans receive a published 5% discount on total annual membership fees, while registration fees still apply. The center describes annual memberships as non-refundable, non-hold and non-cancel plans.

Which option is sensible?

Some programs, private lessons and rentals require additional payment even when a membership provides access to general amenities.

Indoor Pools, Guest Swimming & Reservations

The Kroc Greenville Aquatics Center includes a six-lane lap pool and a heated recreation pool with zero-depth entry, water-play features and an accessible pool lift.

Guest swimming: cost and rules

• Nonmember recreation-swim passes cost $12 per person for two hours.
• Children under two enter free but require swim diapers.
• Every other person entering the Aquatics Center must purchase a pass; there are no free spectator passes.
• Purchase passes online or in person, not over the telephone.
• Popular sessions can sell out; advance purchase is recommended.
• Extra swim time requires purchasing another available session.
• Passes are generally non-refundable and non-transferable unless the center closes the pool.

How to reserve recreational swimming

1. Open the official Guest Swim Passes page.
2. Choose the purchase option for recreation swimming.
3. Select your intended two-hour date and session.
4. Enter each attendee who needs a paid pass.
5. Complete the official payment process.
6. Arrive approximately 10 minutes early, particularly with children or on a first visit.
7. Present your confirmation and complete any required waivers at check-in.

Lap lane reservations for members

Lap-lane booking opens 72 hours in advance. Reservations last between 30 and 60 minutes, and each lane can accommodate two swimmers. Use Kroc Connect to book and check in, then obtain the assigned lane tag from Aquatics staff.

Guests interested in lap swimming should call the Front Desk to ask about lane reservations rather than assuming recreation-swim passes automatically provide lap access.

Fitness, Sports & Family Programs

Kroc Kids childcare

Kroc Kids is an included service for eligible members, providing up to two hours of childcare while parents use the facility. Confirm children’s eligibility, service hours, check-in rules and space availability before relying on it for a scheduled workout.

Program prices differ for members and nonmembers. As a historical example, the center’s 2025 member-benefits page showed discounts on swim lessons and youth sports, but those figures should not be treated as current 2026 registration prices.

Register for a program in five steps

1. Open the official Programs page.
2. Select Aquatics, Sports, Fitness & Wellness or another relevant category.
3. Open the individual class or league page and check dates, age limits and eligibility.
4. Check whether members receive a discount and whether registration is still open.
5. Complete enrollment using the center’s official registration instructions.

For a comparison of youth recreation centers that combine swimming, sports, camps and community activities, our Hyannis Youth and Community Center program guide shows how to evaluate these services at a different facility. Fees and eligibility do not transfer between centers.

Birthday Parties & Pool Parties

Families can book recreation-pool parties, sports parties and outdoor activity packages. Published pricing depends on the package selected.

The center lists Saturday recreation-pool party slots at 11 AM, 2 PM and 4 PM, with selected Sunday availability from 2:30 PM. These are advertised windows, not confirmation that a date is available.

A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a birthday-party date, and the full balance is due at least one week before the party. Confirm the total package cost and all participant rules before paying.

Meeting, Conference & Sports Rentals

Kroc Greenville provides conference rooms, a performing arts and worship venue, catering options, sports facilities and aquatic rentals.

Meeting and event spaces

Meeting-room rental rates are quote-based on the official events page. Contact the center for room availability, catering prices, equipment and additional staffing.

Published sports rental rates

Sports rentals may require additional payment for balls, volleyball-net installation, basketball-goal changes, lights, tables, chairs or staff monitors. The sports rental process includes a 35% deposit and final payment seven business days before the booked date.

Private aquatic rental rates

For another real example of a center that combines indoor pools, gymnasiums and meeting-room rentals, read our E.L. Hannah Community Center pool and rental guide. That East Lansing facility operates independently of Kroc Greenville.

Scholarships, Assistance & Community Mission

The Greenville Kroc Center is operated by The Salvation Army and welcomes people from different backgrounds. It opened in 2011 as a community recreation, wellness and education facility.

The center also offers scholarship opportunities intended to help qualifying individuals and families access programs and membership.

How to ask about financial assistance

1. Choose the membership or program for which assistance is needed.
2. Contact the Kroc membership team and request the current scholarship application.
3. Ask which household, income or eligibility documents are required.
4. Complete the application and submit it using the official instructions.
5. Wait for the eligibility decision before assuming a reduced rate.
6. Confirm how long any approved discount remains effective.

Scholarships are subject to eligibility, available funding and the center’s current rules. A universal scholarship amount was not verified.

Location, Tennis Center & Directions

The main Greenville Kroc Center and its tennis facility have different addresses. Enter the correct one into your navigation app.

Parking instructions may vary for larger events and booked activities. Check the center’s parking information or ask the Front Desk about accessible spaces and entrance arrangements.

Before You Go: Quick Decision Checklist

• Swimming: Book a two-hour guest session or reserve a member timeslot before arriving.
• Gym workout: Confirm the fitness area schedule and applicable guest-pass rules.
• Sports: Check the current league or open-gym schedule rather than assuming a court is free.
• Family visit: Bring identification, required guardian and completed waiver information.
• Membership: Compare Standard, Tennis and PLUS plans, including registration fees.
• Birthday party: Confirm package capacity, deposit and available time slot.
• Room rental: Request an itemized quotation and the correct facility-use agreement.
• Tennis: Go to 205 Gibbs Street, not the main Westfield Street building.

For an additional perspective on comparing day admission, pool availability, family recreation and community events, our Glendale Community Center programs and visitor guide provides an example of a publicly operated neighborhood center. Its access rules are different from The Salvation Army Kroc Center.
