Start the Year off Right with a Community Center Membership
|
Whether providing a place to walk on a rainy day, getting back into a favorite sport, or meeting new people, a community center membership can be a great next step on your health journey.
New this year, we have streamlined our community center memberships into one simplified option that includes access to both Firstenburg and Marshall community centers. With access to both centers, you have more flexibility to choose the activities and amenities that fit your interests and schedule, no matter which part of the city you're in.
