Battle Creek’s Full Blast Recreation Center Reopens February 1st

Full Blast Recreation Center will re-open this Monday.    The facility at 35 Hamblin Avenue will reopen at 7 a.m. on February 1st, and registrations will open for upcoming programs. The re-opening is possible as a result of the latest state public health orders.

The fitness center will open, with workout equipment spaced farther apart. Visitors can rent and use the courts. Both the fitness center and courts will be limited to 25 percent capacity.  For now, Full Blast will only hold non-contact sporting events like pickleball and cornhole.

Visitors must:

• Complete a COVID-19 health screening.
• Allow staff to take their temperature.
• Practice social distancing and follow signage.
• Wear a mask at all times.
• Bring their own water bottle.

Staff will clean and disinfect throughout the facility, and hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and equipment disinfectant will be available.
