Overview
In Bessemer, Alabama, the Bessemer Community Center-officially the Bessemer Recreation Center-buzzes with everything from basketball games to neighborhood gatherings.
At 100 14th Street South, the facility opened on September 6, 2016, offering a bright, modern space where residents of all ages can gather, play, and take part in everything from outdoor basketball games to community classes.
Indoor amenities include a full collegiate-sized gym, with polished hardwood floors ready for basketball, volleyball, and other indoor games.
A fitness center stocked with everything from free weights that clink to smooth, quiet treadmills.
Inside, there’s a warm swimming pool with a little blue slide just the right size for the youngest visitors.
There's a walking track above the gym, perfect for safe exercise any time of year, even when rain taps against the windows.
Versatile rooms ready for a morning yoga class, an afternoon workshop, or a lively evening meeting.
Outdoor features include two baseball fields, perfect for youth leagues or a casual weekend game under the sun.
Play a quick round of basketball or serve up a tennis match, whether you’re just practicing or chasing a win.
A playground built for kids of all ages, from toddlers wobbling on tiny slides to older ones racing across the climbing nets.
Shaded walking trails wind through open lawns, perfect for a quiet stroll or a brisk morning jog.
A pavilion and an open-air amphitheater, perfect for community gatherings, concerts, or lively events under the evening lights.
Concession stands and restrooms are close by, so visitors can grab a cold drink or take a quick break.
The design puts accessibility, safety, and flexibility front and center, so the place can easily host everything from art classes to pick-up basketball games and community dinners.
Programs and Community Role - the center’s more than a place for workouts or games; it’s where neighbors gather, laughter echoing off the gym walls.
It helps bring the community together by offering youth sports leagues-basketball on the blacktop, baseball under the summer sun, and swimming in the cool blue pool.
We offer fitness and wellness classes for adults, from upbeat aerobics to calming yoga and gentle programs designed for seniors.
The community hosts lively gatherings year-round-holiday parties with twinkling lights, annual get-togethers, and special programs just for kids.
We team up with local groups to run workshops, lead hands-on activities, and bring outreach programs into the community.
The center has hosted special anniversary events-like last year’s candlelit concert-showing just how much it means to the community.
The Bessemer Recreation Center opens early-6 a.m.
on weekdays, 9 a.m.
on Saturdays-and stays bright with activity until evening, closing Sundays.
It’s more than a building; it’s a lively hub where the city’s dedication to health, learning, and bringing neighbors together comes to life.
Under one roof, it brings together sports, leisure, and cultural events-everything from pickup basketball to music nights-making it a lively hub of social and recreational life in Bessemer.
With its modern facilities, open-air gathering spots, and programs built around community life, the center keeps residents active all year-whether they’re joining a morning fitness class, learning a new skill, or catching up with neighbors in the sunshine.
