New Community Center Policy


Beginning Wednesday, March 1, the Bethel Park Community Center will begin implementing a new waiver policy requiring all Center guests using basketball courts, the walking track or exercise rooms to sign a waiver. Waiver signups begin March 1st.


Currently, all individuals who take Recreation classes sign a waiver, so the new policy is simply bringing all Center users into alignment, according to Community Center Director Emily Skoczlas. Those currently registered in Recreation programs will not need to sign a new waiver.


“Waivers will be available at the Community Center front desk for signature and should take less than a minute to sign,” said Skoczlas. “Please be sure to bring proof of ID. Parents or legal guardians of children under the age of 18 will need to sign a waiver on their child’s behalf.”


For those who have a Center membership, waivers will only need to be signed once each year (this also includes SilverSneakers’ participants). Resident membership fees follow:


  • Youth (13-17): $5
  • Adult (18-59): $10
  • Family: $25
  • Senior: $5


Day pass users and member guests will need to sign a waiver or have a parent/guardian sign one (depending on age) each time they use the Center facilities.


Center Day Passes are $1 and Resident Guest Passes are $4 for five passes.


“Regular visitors may want to purchase a membership to eliminate the need to sign a waiver for each visit,” said Skoczlas. “We’re trying to make this new process as easy as possible for everyone who enjoys our Center!”
