The facility combines structured programs with spaces for exercise, recreation, education, social activities, meetings, and community events.

Visitors may use the center for scheduled classes, open recreation, fitness activities, youth programs, climbing, sports, day camps, community gatherings, or reserved functions.

Whitney Recreation Center shares its campus with Whitney Senior Center, Whitney Neighborhood Pool, and the outdoor amenities of Whitney Park. Each facility may have different operating hours, programs, fees, and contact procedures.

Indoor Recreation Amenities

The indoor facility includes a gymnasium used for sports, open recreation, classes, camps, and scheduled programs.

Additional amenities include a fitness room, climbing wall, computer lab, game room, community room, classrooms, and support spaces.

Availability depends on scheduled classes, leagues, camps, maintenance, private reservations, staffing, and special events.

Visitors should not assume that every room or activity area will be available for drop-in use during all building hours.

Youth, Teen, and Community Programs

Whitney Recreation Center offers youth and teen programming that may include sports, games, educational activities, leadership development, arts and crafts, day camps, open gym, and seasonal programs.

Programs may have age limits, registration deadlines, attendance requirements, waivers, fees, equipment rules, and adult pickup procedures.

Some programs operate only during school breaks or selected seasons. Others may have waiting lists or limited enrollment.

Parents and guardians should verify the program schedule, age requirements, supervision policies, required forms, and pickup times before registration.

Fitness Room

The Whitney Recreation Center fitness room includes cardiovascular machines, free weights, dumbbells, resistance equipment, and strength-training machines.

Available equipment may include treadmills, stationary bicycles, elliptical machines, and resistance stations for major muscle groups.

Daily, monthly, and annual passes may be available. Current prices and membership terms should be confirmed directly with Clark County.

New users may be required to complete a waiver and orientation before using the equipment.

Teen participants must meet current age and supervision rules. Younger teenagers may need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Fitness-room hours may end before the recreation center closes.

Indoor Climbing Wall

Whitney Recreation Center includes an indoor climbing wall used for scheduled climbing programs and supervised recreational sessions.

Access may depend on staffing, instructor availability, age, experience, waivers, safety equipment, registration, and the current program schedule.

Participants should wear appropriate athletic clothing and closed-toe footwear unless the program provides different instructions.

Climbers must follow staff directions and use required safety equipment. Unsupervised climbing is not permitted.

Visitors should call before traveling specifically to use the climbing wall.

Whitney Park Outdoor Amenities

The surrounding Whitney Park complex expands the recreation options beyond the indoor center.

Outdoor amenities may include basketball courts, tennis courts, a walking path, children’s playgrounds, picnic shelters, picnic tables, restrooms, and reservable areas.

Some picnic areas may be available on a first-come, first-served basis, while larger shelters or gathering spaces may require reservations.

Court access, field conditions, restrooms, lighting, and park amenities may be affected by maintenance, weather, leagues, reservations, construction, or special events.

Visitors should keep children supervised and follow posted rules for courts, playgrounds, walking areas, and picnic spaces.

Whitney Neighborhood Pool

Whitney Neighborhood Pool is a separate seasonal aquatic facility within the Whitney Recreation and Senior Center complex.

Pool dates, open-swim hours, admission fees, swim lessons, age requirements, capacity, weather closures, and supervision rules differ from recreation-center operations.

The pool should not be assumed to be open simply because the recreation center is operating.

Visitors should confirm the current seasonal schedule before bringing swimwear or making a special trip.

Children and nonswimmers must follow current adult-supervision and aquatic-safety requirements.
