American Kids Is Bringing a Brand-New Sports Center to Southwest Bakersfield

Southwest Bakersfield is about to get a major boost in family activities. American Kids Sports Center is opening a brand‑new facility on Young Street, adding a fresh, modern space for kids to learn, move, and have fun. With so many new neighborhoods popping up in the southwest, this expansion lands at exactly the right moment.

A Fresh Home Base for Youth Activities The new center gives American Kids room to grow — literally. The Young Street building is designed for high‑energy programs and busy family schedules, offering a wide mix of activities under one roof, including:

• Gymnastics and tumbling

• Swim lessons

• Dance and cheer

• Ninja‑style obstacle courses

• Trampoline programs

• Camps, clinics, and birthday parties

• Preschool and early‑learning programs

It’s built to be a place where kids can build confidence, stay active, and try new things in a safe, upbeat environment.

More Opportunities for Local Teens and Young Adults

American Kids has long been a first job for many Bakersfield teens — and the new location will only expand that. Coaching, front‑desk roles, class support, and leadership positions all help young people gain real experience while working in a positive, kid‑centered setting.

What’s Happening to the Ride Street Building?

The longtime Ride Street location isn’t closing — it’s evolving. American Kids is turning it into a specialized adaptive sports center, offering smaller classes and programs designed for children who benefit from a more individualized environment. This gives Bakersfield families more inclusive options than ever before.

Why This Opening Matters

Southwest Bakersfield continues to grow quickly, and families have been asking for more high‑quality activity centers close to home. The new American Kids facility answers that need with expanded programs, more space, and a long‑term investment in the community.

Whether your child is into gymnastics, swimming, dance, or simply needs a fun outlet, this new center is shaping up to be one of the most exciting additions to the southwest this year.
