Sizeable fitness-focused center with lap lanes, kiddie pools, volleyball and basketball courts.
The aquatic facilities at Massillon Recreation Center typically maintain the lap pool at approximately 79-81°F (26-27°C), ideal for swimming laps and fitness. The leisure pool, designed for family and recreational use, is generally kept at a warmer temperature, around 84-86°F (29-30°C).

Price is very reasonable. I was a little misinformed about attire and spent more than I had to acquire "proper" swimwear, but that's ok. My grandson had an amazing time although the water at the splash pad was way colder than the rest of the waters. I was a little concerned that the life guards were allowing rough housing in the lazy river portion.
I was here for a volleyball tournament. The space was perfect for smaller tournaments (just the right amount of courts) but it was quite crowded on and off the court. In the hallways it was difficult to not bump up against someone and once you are on the court, the court next to you was quite close. During the game balls from the other side of the gym would interfere with our game, this through the team off balance. That being said I found the view from the Rec Center gorgeous.
Nice swimming pool! My grandchild love it there! Very neat and safe UPDATE: Still ok to go, but the slides are rarely operating, the lazy river got so lazy there isn't any current at all. No innertubes to float on. Disappointing to say the least. They need the slides on all the time during swim hours. Hire more people!
The women’s restrooms by the pool smells like urine and there is no one to oversee the teenagers in the gym. The abuse the machines be dropping weights. Sounds like the machine is going to break. The young people at the desk can’t help you if you need to know how to use the machines. It doesn’t seem like safety is all that important!
Location and activities wonderful. Suprised to find my complaint listed in other reviews of establishment. Old blonde lady at the desk is NOT CHILD FRIENDLY AT ALL. From the moment i walked in and she was annoyed because she had another screen up and flat out sighed and said i was doing something. Needed to specify gym rules so i proceed back to the desk where my son was looking at a child geared flyer. She looked at him and mumbled something under her breath took the stack of papers and moved them all out of reach. Even took the 1 flyer from his hands. Then the pool opens at 11 but no one here at 11 to turn the childrens pool on? Doesnt make sense to me. Lifeguard mentions theyve asked for someone to be here at 11am but nothing is ever done about it
