Larkspur Community Center

About

Community center with a gym and a swimming pool, as well as a cafe and spaces for classes and events.

The aquatic facility at Larkspur Community Center maintains specific temperatures for its various pools: the lap pool is typically kept at 80-82°F (26.6-27.7°C), the recreation pool at 86-88°F (30-31.1°C), the therapy pool at 94-96°F (34.4-35.5°C), and the hot tub at 102-104°F (38.8-40°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Larkspur generally receives praise for its beautiful, well-maintained facility and friendly staff, with one reviewer specifically commending Emma's helpfulness. It's noted as a good option for visitors to Bend and for family activities, especially on snowy days. Users appreciate the adequate exercise equipment for smaller crowds and the community's effort to keep the place spotless. However, significant criticisms include staff providing incorrect information about swim hours, leading to wasted time, and the frustration of public workout machines being reserved for private classes, limiting access for paying members. A helpful tip suggests using the SE 15th St entrance to avoid the Senior Center parking. One reviewer suggested an alternative gym due to equipment limitations and higher cost at Larkspur.

I visit Bend at least once a year and always find a way to exercise at least once while visiting. I keep going back to Larkspur every time. It is such a beautiful facility = kept up so well and the people that work there have always been so nice. They have just enough exercise weights and machines to handle the smaller crowds that they get. The clients tend to be on the older side and sometimes appear to be monitoring the moves each other make but this can also be a good thing because it means the customers care and make it a group effort to keep the place spotless and everything running and working which is all you can ask for in a gym.

We had a great family time here at Larkspur. It was great to do on a snowy day. I will say that Emma on their staff was the most helpful and I would highly encourage you to come and visit. Just make sure you check the swim hours first as they change as to who is allowed in at what times. Will definitely be back with our family.

If you are going to Larkspur to exercise, I highly suggest entering from SE 15th St directly across the street from Splash n' Dash Car Wash. There is far less traffic on this road than Reed Market and the entrance is directly in front of the fitness part of the building. Google directions will take you to the Senior Center which is connected to the fitness center, but let's save that parking for the Seniors 👍

We called and they told us the last swim was from 6:30 to 8 we were lied to and sat in our car for 30 minutes to wait and when we tried to go inside after being told they had rec swim that they were closed so we were lied to and wasted our time

They reserve half of the workout machines for “private classes” and say “too bad these are for my class”. How about you take your private class to a private location so we can use the workout equipment WE pay for. Not overrunning the public section of the gym. Snap fitness is $30 less and has way more equipment if anyone is looking for a real gym.
