Apex Center Clubhouse Adventure Playground

The Apex Center Clubhouse is free, just like your neighborhood playground. It’s a paradise of creative and interactive play possibilities for ages 1-10, unless an older child is accompanying a younger sibling. There are tubes, ladders, slides and all sorts of other exciting features. Children imagine they’re in a giant tree house as they romp through the spacious, multi-level play area containing simulated water features, hollow logs and fun playhouse themes. Children ages 7 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

Kids Club

Kids Club is a drop-in program for 3 to 5 year-olds, on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays and Thursdays of every month from 9 to 10:30 am. On Tuesdays, we turn the kids loose in the gym for some physical activities including many fun games. On Thursdays, they work on arts and crafts and take their project home. Parents check children in at the Child Watch desk and then escort them to the day’s activity. They can either pick up their children at that location or in Child Watch, depending on the time. Fees: Residents $3.50 & Non-Residents $5.50. If you have an annual pass for a child, this is a free activity.
