Babysitting (Wee Folk) Room
Dublin residents may purchase an unlimited
monthly pass for $20.
The Wee Folk Room offers babysitting services to children 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Children ages three and older have the opportunity to play video and board games, watch movies, or make crafts in a space all their own. We use a computerized scanning system and pagers are available. The Wee Folk Room is open to any child whose parents are using the DCRC. The cost is $3 for the first hour and 75 cents for each additional 15 minutes, with a 2- hour maximum per day. Space is limited to our room and staff capacity. To register for babysitting services please come to the Wee Folk Room to process the necessary paperwork, then proceed to the Welcome Desk to obtain a Wee Folk Pass and add funds. No refunds are given for money put on the passes. Our sick child policy: Children who show symptoms of a runny nose with green or yellow discharge, deep coughs, or any other obvious signs of illness will not be permitted in the room until the symptoms are gone. When we are notified a child has a contagious illness and they have used the room, we will post the illness on the door for 1 week and thoroughly clean the room.

Inclement Weather Policy
DCRC facilities will maintain normal operating hours unless directed otherwise by the City Manager. All DCRC class/activity schedules will coincide with Dublin City Schools. Whenever schools are released early, all evening classes at the DCRC are cancelled. When school is cancelled, all daytime DCRC classes are cancelled, and a decision regarding evening classes (those after 5 p.m.) will be made by 2 p.m.
Jogging/Walking Track
Joggers and walkers on the second floor track can cover a mile in 13 laps. An expanse of windows provides views of the pools and the outdoors.
Leisure Pool
A unique feature of the DCRC is the leisure pool, which includes a lazy river, clam slide for children, double helix slide for those a little more daring and a zero-foot entry point for cautious tots. The warmer water and 3.5-foot maximum depth make this pool perfect for children, adults and senior adults – whether you’re looking for fun, family time or relaxing aquatherapy
Multi-Purpose Pool
The competitive/lap pool measures 25 yards by 25 meters and has two one-meter diving boards. This pool often is divided for activities such as aqua aerobics, open swim, swim team practice and instruction. Bleachers provide ample seating and a separate entrance makes it perfect for area swim meets. The natatorium walls in both the lap and leisure pools are lined with acoustical material to absorb sound.
