Costantino Recreation Center

About

The Costantino Recreation Center, located at 2745 Evergreen Pkwy NW, Olympia, WA 98505, USA, is a comprehensive recreational facility primarily serving The Evergreen State College community. It features a gymnasium, weight room, cardio equipment, a climbing wall, and a six-lane swimming pool, offering a variety of fitness and leisure activities.

The swimming pool at the Costantino Recreation Center is a six-lane, 25-yard short course pool heated to a comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 26.7 degrees Celsius).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The recreation center receives largely positive feedback, with users praising the updated weight room, new court, pool, and rock wall. Many appreciate the ongoing improvements, effective budget management, and the positive impact of new staff, describing the facility as an excellent space for students and the community. However, common suggestions for improvement include expanding operating hours, particularly opening on Saturdays, and enhancing ventilation. A significant concern raised by one reviewer is the consistently rude behavior and poor customer service of a specific front desk employee, including instances of yelling at children.

Love the updated weight room. Hoping they will expand things a bit. Would also appreciate improved ventilation. Seems like they are doing a good job managing a tough budget. Still seeing key improvements (weight room, rock wall, etc) in tough times. Kudos to leadership and those evangelizing to keep this place at 100%.

Nice recreation space for students and the community! Hours could be better but price for community members is good if you can work around the schedule. Love the pool! Hope they can open on Saturdays!

I love this facility and I love the new court. However, there is a front desk lady and I’m not sure of her name but I think it starts with a C. She is consistently rude and has the some of the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I can never ever catch her in a good mood. I saw her yelling at some kids tonight and I was blown away bc THEY’RE KIDS. She needs to fix her attitude and get some customer service lessons. The best workers are the ones who do their job with kindness and respect for others, not sass, and definitely not yelling at kids even if they were doing something they weren’t supposed to. If you’re her boss reading this she deserves a stern talk as to how to do her job without being so mean.
