About

Recreation center with amenities such as a computer lab, a swimming pool, and a basketball court.

The Sorenson Unity Center's aquatics facilities maintain the lap pool between 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit, the recreation pool between 82-84 degrees Fahrenheit, and the hot tub at 102 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This recreation center offers a variety of well-regarded activities, including a great gym, affordable swim lessons for kids, and special swim hours for women and children. Many users have had positive experiences, such as coaching youth sports, hosting birthday parties, and praise specific staff members like Manny for boxing instruction. The facility itself is described as nice and affordable at $2 per person. However, a recurring issue for some users has been the difficulty in accessing volleyball courts due to communication problems, inconsistent information from staff, and perceived lack of organization. Despite initial frustrations with court availability and staffing, a program manager, Luke, effectively addressed these concerns by implementing an 'open gym' for volleyball, significantly improving the experience for those users.

Firstly, they have very cheap swim lesson for kids. Secondly, they have special hours reserved only for women and kids. Staff is super nice.

First day of boxing and we are very pleased with everything the gym has to offer for kid to train boxing. Manny has been amazing and we are so excited to get our kids involved in the gym.

Trying to play volleyball here is a bit of a hassle. The facility itself is nice, but the team there could use more clarity. I’ve called several, if not all, recreational centers in the county, and only a handful can accommodate volleyball courts—Sorenson being one of them. They claim to operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, but there have been several times when we’ve tried to play volleyball, only to find the courts unavailable due to various excuses. Today was particularly frustrating. I called in to confirm whether the city had any scheduled in the small or large gym for the next day. Ryan told me they weren’t but advised calling two hours before our desired time to double-check. He also said they’d set up the nets for us. However, it’s always a gamble with Sorenson. The next day, I called back two hours before the time we wanted to play, only to be told it was “last minute” and that they were short-staffed. Milena, who said she’s the supervisor, told me there was nothing they could do to accommodate us. That’s especially frustrating because organizing a volleyball game takes effort—getting at least eight people to confirm is no small task. Edit: Luke (program manager) you’re amazing! After I emailed him, he made sure to start an “open gym” for volleyball. Thank you so much for addressing our concerns!!! It’s been great. I really wish the communication here was better. It’s disappointing when the lack of organization ruins plans that require so much effort to coordinate. The pros are that for the most part, the facility is really nice and it’s only $2/per person to play.
