About

Community center with a heated indoor pool, gym, and playground, plus programs for all ages.

The JCC South Hills typically maintains its main recreational pool at approximately 83-84°F (28-29°C), while the therapy pool is usually warmer, around 92-94°F (33-34°C). Temperatures are subject to change.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The JCC is largely praised as a wonderful community resource with clean, modern facilities, and a friendly atmosphere. Reviewers appreciate the well-designed classes for graceful aging, the quality equipment, and the exceptional staff, particularly in the aquatics department (e.g., Sarah) and event planning (e.g., pool parties), who are noted for going above and beyond. One non-member specifically highlighted the JCC's unique willingness to provide a licensed swim assessment when other local centers did not. Constructive feedback includes a desire for more specialized equipment, such as an upper body wheel and recumbent workout machines, to better accommodate senior citizens and physical therapy patients. Concerns were also raised about the limited dedicated walking area, which is confined to the shared gym, and one reviewer mentioned issues with traffic obstruction on Kane Boulevard and flag etiquette.

This is such a wonderful community resource. The classes are well designed for people who are trying to age gracefully. There’s a lot to choose from in the facility has great equipment.

I cannot say enough good things about this location. I am not a member, but I needed to get a swim assessment done through a licensed lifeguard. It was the only club/center in Allegheny county that even picked up the phone in regards to giving swim tests. Sarah in the aquatics department was absolutely lovely, and so was security at the front desk. My test took no more than 10-minutes and cost $10. If I lived nearby I would 100% join this JCC. The facilities are clean and modern. Plus everyone who came into the building had a smile on their face.

This is a very clean, pleasant facility. However, they don’t have a range of equipment that includes an upper body wheel or any recumbent workout machines. These would be excellent additions considering the senior citizens and recovering PT people that use the facility. Also, the only walking area is in the gym and that means that when groups are using the gym, you may be ducking from balls etc..

We recently had a pool party at the South Hills JCC for our child’s 9th birthday and I was so impressed with the staff! They took care of everything, from personalized decorations to music to entertaining the kids in the pool. They truly went above and beyond to make the day special.
