About
Public rec center and pool offer swim classes, water aerobics and other activities, along with a gym.
Information regarding the specific temperature of the pool(s) at the Coleman A. Young Community Center is not readily available in public sources.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The recreation center elicits mixed but largely positive feedback from users. Many appreciate its diverse offerings, including workouts, swimming, boxing, and pool, with classes catering to all ages, highlighting its community benefits. Staff are frequently commended as wonderful, kind, professional, and helpful, and the facility is often described as clean, especially the pool, which one user found beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis. A particularly strong positive experience involved a lost wallet being found by staff and returned with all contents intact. Some reviewers also note significant improvements over time and find the location suitable for community events. Conversely, one prominent negative review criticizes the center for lacking a true community feel, citing inconsistent rules and significant maintenance issues such as non-functional water fountains and poor air conditioning on the top floor. This reviewer also expressed frustration with unpredictable hours and unannounced early closures of facilities like the gym, calling for greater transparency and reliability.

Great place to work out, swim, box, or even enjoy a game of pool. This center has it att. Elderly and kids encouraged to check it out! Classes available as well for all ages. Great for the community

Disappointing Experience – Doesn’t Feel Like a True Community Rec Center I’ve given this rec center more than enough chances, but it’s clear it’s not truly here for the community. The overall vibe doesn’t feel welcoming or community-oriented—it’s more like a building with rules that shift depending on who’s working. Several of the water fountains haven’t worked in months, which is unacceptable, especially during the summer or after a workout. On top of that, the A/C barely functions on the top floor, making it nearly unbearable for any kind of real activity up there. Another major issue is the constant inconsistency—whether it’s the hours of operation, the programs offered, or even basic access to the gym. The gym has been closed a full hour before its posted schedule multiple times, without warning or any communication. It’s frustrating to show up expecting to use the facility only to be told it’s closed early “just because.” If this place wants to claim it serves the community, it needs to start operating with more transparency, reliability, and basic respect for the people who use it.

I am a member of the Coleman Young Recreation Center, and I enjoy it very very much the staff is wonderful kind and professional and so very helpful, I have been going there for the past few weeks since it has reopened, and I can't say enough good things about it it is clean, I am in the water aerobics class and the pool is unbelievable, it is amazing how much it helps rheumatoid arthritis I'm so thankful, I left and left my wallet in the sauna yes it has a sauna as well, I called to the Coleman Young rec center after I had left and forgot my wallet in the sauna, in 20 minutes later on the way home somebody called from the rec center and a young very nice man who works at the rec center, found my wallet I Rush right back and picked it up everything was in its untouched, and that is truly unbelievable but true everything was in my wallet credit cards cash everything, and they called me to tell me that they had it call need to tell me that they have it, I can't tell you how happy I was ungrateful, I gave them five stars cuz that's all I could give them if I could give 20 Stars I would.😁
