What "open gym" means

Open gym (also called drop-in) is a block of time the center leaves unbooked for anyone to walk in and play. It is free at every San Francisco center listed here, and it is first come, first served — no reservation, no membership card. The blocks move around when a center books a league or a class into the gym, which is why the hours above are re-scraped from SF Recreation & Parks regularly and the app shows the live picture.
