Spaces for play, community, and inclusion.

Discover the power of play.

Even with exceptional fitness, recreation, education, and social programs – sometimes the most meaningful thing the JCC does is simply offering a place for our community to gather.

Program Benefits

The Guten Family Discovery Center (your child may know it as the “World of WOW”) is an indoor play space open to all families in our community. Featuring a soft surface floor, interactive climbing area, open space to run – and a great spot for parents and caregivers to catch up with friends over a bite to eat at CafA B Data by Mosaic.

Our small teaching pool in the Peck Aquatic Center has a depth of 2’6”-3’6”. In addition to swim lessons taught by our American Red Cross Learn to Swim certified instructors, we also offer open swim periods 7 days per week so families can make a splash together.

Located just off the Marcus Gym, our Family Gym is designed for members with children ages 12 and under. The space is equipped with multiple basketball hoops and a rock-climbing wall for kids to explore. Families must bring their own equipment, including basketballs. Children under the age of 8 years old must always be supervised by an adult. Download the My J app for JCC Members to stay up-to-date on open gym times.
