About
Recreational facility offering an indoor track, swimming pool, weight room, and basketball court.
The indoor swimming pool at Hansborough Recreation Center is heated. However, a specific temperature for the pool is not publicly disclosed or readily available in online resources.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility offers a mixed experience, with many patrons appreciating its pleasant atmosphere, convenient exercise rooms, and a beautiful, refreshing pool that is often uncrowded. The women's locker room is consistently praised for its cleanliness, and many staff members, including front desk personnel and lifeguards, are described as delightful, friendly, and courteous. However, several significant issues detract from the overall experience. The exercise equipment, while functional, is noted as needing modernization, classes are frequently cancelled, and the track room is under renovation. A major concern in the women's locker room is the lack of private changing areas, leading to discomfort due to public nudity. The men's locker room is specifically criticized for reportedly lacking showers and being in poor condition. Staff behavior receives mixed reviews, with some experiencing unfriendliness, perceived lack of accountability, or early closures, while others report positive interactions. There are also isolated instances of rude behavior from other patrons.

I am having a Pleasant experience there. The staffs are very delightful. Both exercise rooms are very convenient, and comfortable. I even ran on the mini track which was nice. I took a dip in the pool, which was refreshing. everyone was very Pleasant, down to the lifeguards. The ladies locker room was very clean. However, just about everyone came out the shower butt ass naked, and I was very uneasy with that. They need private dressing rooms like they have at river bank state park, because you don't want your child/ children exposed or witness, or even traumatize by seeing strangers naked

The center is small and quiet. The workout equipment gets the job done but in need of more modern equipment. The classes are frequently cancelled. And told the track room is under renovations now. However, if uour looking for a quick and quiet workout its the place for you. Staff could be a little more customer friendly.

Yet another modern NYC service that operates differently in the black community. Also, No showers for men. Female staff randomly enter the women's locker. And of course they close earlier than listed. Modern black+ (other women from minority communities) women running the joint so...expect non accountability, attitude, etc....

I love this gym I grew up in building 40 an I went there as a kid to karate class so it's a great feel when I come to work out as a grown man.the only thing that pissed me off is the other day I went there an some lady was really rude an just did not get off one of the machines even the I would look every now an then to see if she was done.she knew I wanted to get on too an just kept talking on her phone the whole time.other than that it's a peaceful place to workout

This was my first visit and it was only to use the pool. Reading earlier reviews, I gather the men's locker room may be pretty cruddy, but the women's locker room was very clean. The staff I spoke to, from the people at the front desk to the lifeguards, seemed friendly and courteous. The pool was a revelation. It is beautiful, with gorgeous mosaic decorations and a skylight, although I gather all the city pools have skylights, or at least those I have swum in. I can't comment on anything else, but so far so good. I do plan to swim there again, especially because it wasn't that crowded. More people arrived as I was leaving, so I would have been curious to see how well the lifeguards manage crowds. There were some kids who were playing in the deep water area but were obviously experienced swimmers. I would have found it annoying if they swam without looking and interfered with those of us who were swimming laps, but I had no problems with the swimming I was doing and I hope that when there are more people, the lifeguards are proactive in assuring everyone can swim safely in the way they want There were roped areas where the little kids could have fun splashing around.
