Winter Gym Rentals

 3 easy ways to rent a school gym for the
Winter 2025 term
 
Accepting reservation applications for Winter Gym Rentals beginning November 25.
 
Applications received by December 10, 2024 will be assigned by lottery.  
Any received after December 10 will be processed in the order they are received.
 
The gym rental period runs from January 20th - April 7th. There will be no gym rentals January 20, February 14-18, and March 24-28.
 
Rec & Ed is pleased to offer rental of elementary school gymnasiums to community groups throughout the school year. Prior to each season (Fall, Winter, Spring) we post the gyms, days and times that will be available.
 
Due to a high demand for gym time, gym slots are assigned by lottery. As always, we will make every effort to accommodate all groups wishing to reserve space. Remember to submit your request, disclaimer, and fee in a timely manner so we can better serve you.  List as many choices as possible that would be acceptable to you.
 
New!  How to reserve a gym for your group:
 
1. Review the list of gyms, days, and times available for the upcoming season.
 
2. Review the rental prices for gyms. Because Eberwhite and Mack gyms are most in demand, there is a premium fee for these locations. 
 

3. Choose a convenient way to rent a school gym for the Winter 2024 term

    • Beginning November 25, 2024, register online here. Choose from the list of options that suit your needs. You have the option of listing up to three gym locations that would be acceptable to you. The more options you list, the better chance you will have of being assigned a gym rental space. Please list only schools, days and times that you are willing to accept. Refer to the 1.5 hour time blocks listed on the availability sheet. If you are requesting a one hour time slot, it must fall within the 1.5 hour time slot listed.
       
    • Payment is required to complete online applications. Incomplete applications will not be considered in the lottery process. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. If you pay the premium fee but are assigned a non-premium gym, you will be refunded the difference.
