Open Gym

The Open Gym Program is designed to provide an opportunity for both youth and adults to use a neighborhood gymnasium in a supervised, free play situation. The Open Gym is FREE of charge.

Court reservations will be taken for adult teams interested in practicing. Call 222-6454 to reserve your court for one hour the Friday (8:30am – 5pm) preceding weekend play. Only Bismarck Parks and Recreation District registered adult teams are permitted to reserve practice time at Simle or the World War Memorial Building during the free Open Gym program. Youth travel teams interested in reserving /renting gym space during non-Open Gym hours must contact the schools or the World War Memorial Building. The Open Gym Program is provided by Bismarck Parks and Recreation District, in cooperation with Bismarck Public School District.
