Memberships & Fees

*SilverSneakers® and Renew Active® can be utilized for membership to the Bob Crane Community Center

*Non-Residents will be limited to one daily admission during initial opening of the facility.

All Upper Arlington residents and individuals who are employed within Upper Arlington’s borders (plus members of your household) qualify for the Resident rates. To secure these rates, you should establish (or update) a RecTrac account with Upper Arlington Parks & Recreation, providing details of the members of your household, and providing proof of residency or employment. You can submit proof of residency or employment via the RecTrac account, or you may bring documentation to the Upper Arlington Parks & Recreation Department Office, at 3200 Tremont Road.

Any Resident households that have not been verified will be marked as a Non-Resident household and charged at the Non-Resident rate until this step has been completed.

The Child Watch area can accommodate children ages 6-months up to 9-years. Patrons must be onsite while their child is in the Child Watch area.

Child Watch requires reservations and has 24 spots available for each 30 minute time slot, with a maximum of four infants (6-12 months). Reservations are completed through Activity Registration, and can be made up to seven days in advance. Drop-in reservations can also be made, subject to availability. Reservation times are every 30 minutes.

*The 8 am reservation window begins at 7:50 am to allow patrons time to get to 8 am classes.

Features 18 high-end gaming stations and allow for play on an ultra-fast fiber network with an extensive gaming library. This space is available for drop-in use, programs, private rentals, and group events. Individuals, ages 8 years & up, will be able to play some of the most popular games, individually or with friends, in a safe and supervised setting.   

The E-Sports Room operates on a drop-in, first-come, first-play basis. Play is accessed by purchasing a punch pass, which can be purchased in advance or upon the first visit. Each user must have a Upper Arlington Parks & Recreation account and purchase an E-Sports punch pass. Passes are available in visit increments of 1, 10, and 20. Each swipe of the punch pass is valid for 90 minutes of play. Once all 18 gaming PCs are in use, a queue will form for the next available PC. Gamers can play consecutive 90-minute sessions if space allows. Passes can be purchased online at parks.uaoh.net.

*March 19, 2025 Update: E-Sports has transitioned to a “drop-in” approach. The previous reservation information in the print version of the Spring/Summer Activity Guide is no longer in effect.

All programs offered at the Bob Crane Community will be available at Resident, BCCC Member and Non-Resident rates.

*Note: The Senior Association membership will no longer be applicable.

Helpful Information & FAQ’s

• All programs require pre-registration. We do not currently offer any drop in programs where you can attend without having signed up prior to attending.
• It is encouraged to sign up early. Most programs have a minimum that must be reached to take place. Cancellations are generally made two to five business days in advance of a program, but sometimes occur further in advance. Some programs have posted registration deadlines.
• Most programs are available for registration once registration opens. If a special registration date is set for a program, it is noted with the program information. Safety Town is available with Spring/ Summer registration.
• Registration opens first to verified residents and/ or members of the Bob Crane Community Center. Residents must be verified to register during priority registration to receive the resident rate for all Upper Arlington Parks and Recreation programs, memberships and rentals.

Any non-residents must be current members of the Bob Crane Community Center to register during priority registration and to receive program resident rates.
