About the center
Run by the neighborhood, for the neighborhood
Ridgeview opened in 1986 as a joint project between the city and a neighborhood association, and it is still governed by a board where most seats are held by people who live within a mile. The pool was rebuilt in 2019 with a voter approved bond and the gym floor was replaced last summer.
•Reduced rate memberships for about one in five member households

Reviews
From members and neighbors
“I have swum laps here four mornings a week for eleven years. The water is clean, the lanes are never oversubscribed and the staff know my name.”
Fran L., Senior member
“Both my kids learned to swim here and my daughter now lifeguards on weekends. Thirty four dollars a month for what we use is remarkable.”
Ben O., Household member
“Rented the multipurpose room for my mother's eightieth. Kitchen was clean, the tables were set out before we arrived and it cost less than half of anywhere else in town.”
Corinne A., Room rental, Garden City
FAQ
Membership, drop in and rental questions
Do I have to be a member to use the center?
No. An eight dollar day pass gets you everything a member has for that day, and if you join within seven days we credit it toward your first month. Some youth programs and swim lesson sessions do require registration in advance because of instructor ratios.
How do reduced rate memberships work?
Bring proof of household income such as a recent pay stub, a benefits letter or a tax return to the front desk. Rates drop on a three step sliding scale down to eight dollars a month for a household. The conversation happens in the office, not at the counter, and takes about ten minutes.
What ages can be in the weight room and gym alone?
Fourteen and up may use the weight room unaccompanied after a free equipment orientation with our fitness staff. Twelve and thirteen year olds may use it with a parent present. The gym and track are open to ages ten and up on their own during posted open hours.
How far ahead should I book a room?
Weekend afternoons book six to eight weeks out, especially spring and December. Weeknight meeting slots are usually available with a week of notice. A 50 dollar deposit holds the date, it is refundable up to seven days before, and the kitchen is included with the multipurpose room at no extra charge.
