Riverside Community Center: Hours, Programs, Rentals & Map

What Do You Want to Do at Riverside?

Riverside Community Center Hours

The City of Fort Worth publishes the following regular facility schedule.

For holidays, special events, gym reservations or classes, call 817-392-7640 before traveling.

Facilities and Sports Available

For families, Riverside combines indoor activities with the surrounding park. If you are visiting specifically for a tennis court, pickleball session or boxing class, ask about reservations and scheduled use rather than assuming every area is available for open play.

Current Programs: Boxing, Youth Activities & Seniors

Riverside has activities for children, teenagers, adults and older residents. The official program calendar changes during the year, so the examples below distinguish published program sessions from year-round amenities.

How to Register for a Riverside Program

1. Open the official Riverside page. Select the relevant Programs & Activities, After School & Camps, or Youth Sports registration option.
2. Find Riverside Community Center. Filter the program list by facility, category, participant age or the listed program number.
3. Read the activity details. Check the start and end dates, weekday schedule, participant age, cost and whether places remain.
4. Prepare the participant information. Have guardian contact information, identification and any applicable program forms ready.
5. Complete enrollment through the City. Follow the official registration process, save the confirmation and check for updates before the first session.

Annual Membership & Daily Admission Prices

Fort Worth community center membership cards are required for participation in programs and access to open-play activities. The city publishes resident and non-resident pricing separately.

Day Passes

Bring identification: Fort Worth requests a driver’s license, state-issued ID or birth certificate. Ask what proof is accepted for resident pricing or discounted membership categories.

A standard community center membership is not the same as unrestricted fitness-room access. Compare the options below if you want to work out regularly.

Bronze Tier Fitness Membership at Riverside

Riverside is listed as a Bronze Tier fitness facility. Bronze memberships provide access to Bronze Tier fitness facilities, not the higher Silver or Gold tiers.

The City also describes possible free fitness-membership eligibility through certain insurance programs, including Renew Active and SilverSneakers. Eligibility and participating-center conditions must be verified.

Riverside Community Center Rentals & Prices

Fort Worth community centers can accommodate birthdays, family gatherings, meetings and other approved events. Rental prices are published citywide, but the rooms available at Riverside on your chosen date must be confirmed.

How to Reserve Riverside Community Center

5. Complete reservation requirements. Follow the City’s instructions for the agreement, payment, floor plan and deposit.
6. Save your confirmation. Bring the approved booking details on event day and allow enough paid time for setup and cleanup.
