Under the new Vancouver Community Center Membership, members can take full advantage of the extensive amenities at both centers
VANCOUVER – Beginning January 2026, Vancouver Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services will launch a new Vancouver Community Center Membership, providing full access to both Firstenburg (700 N.E. 136th Ave.) and Marshall (1009 E. McLoughlin Blvd.) community centers.
Under the new Vancouver Community Center Membership, members can take full advantage of the extensive amenities at both centers. From the 25-yard lap swim area at Marshall to the water play area and lazy river at Firstenburg, both centers offer unique opportunities for fitness and fun. With access to more than 60 group classes, impressive fitness centers, and gymnasiums with drop-in pickleball, basketball and volleyball, members can now choose activities based on their schedule, location or interests, near work or closer to home.

“We’re excited to offer the community even more value and flexibility,” said David Perlick, director of Vancouver Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services. “This streamlined membership makes it easier than ever to find fitness programs you love, connect with neighbors and stay active, wherever you are in the city.”
This new combined membership aims to increase opportunities for fitness, recreation, and community building across Vancouver, making it simpler for individuals, families and seniors to stay active and connected. Memberships range from $22-$41 a month for Vancouver residents based on age; family memberships are also available.

Stop by for a tour or sign up for a membership at either Firstenburg or Marshall center, starting Jan. 2, 2026. Staff are happy to answer questions and interpretation services are available. Current members will automatically receive access to both centers in the new year.
