Parks and libraries, sure, but the rest pretty much all cost money around me. Art spaces are largely monetized, outside of maybe a free night a week, for a limited amount of time before closing that doesn't include access to all exhibits. Community/rec centers host events and charge money for most of them now, since I guess younger generations aren't becoming members in large enough numbers to make things self-sustaining otherwise. Churches have the disadvantage of being churches. Sure, you can technically hang out in them for free, so long as you don't mind constant religious services, which kind of comes with the territory on that one.
