Great facility. And friendly workers. Been here twice for showers working out of town. I figured the community pool. But...the staff at the pool was not friendly or helpful. One girl made a big deal about how I didn't talk to her the day before. Saying Id been there earlier. When I told her that that wasn't correct. When I asked how she could say Id been there earlier when she claimed to not remember talking to me? She took a phone call when the phone wasn't ringing. I thought I was in the twilight zone when the other girl kept telling me she was on the phone and she herself couldn't help me. I went up stairs. And they straightened it all out. Said they don't want to let people in for showers at the pool. Because it's a family swim. But they pointed me to the very nice weight room showers. Good price too I'd be pissed because of the 16 year olds at the pool counter. But the people upstairs were great. And made up for it. Love this place.

Every time we come to this pool it’s always an issue. The first time, we were put on a waiting list, we waited almost 2 hours and came back and they said they were closed. The second time they wouldn’t let us in for tot zone because two of my kids aren’t under 5. Other community centers let us in. What are we supposed to do? Leave our older kids at home alone? They’re unprofessional and rude. Don’t bother coming here to swim.

Great pool facility, however, watch out for yourself as certain lifeguards do not pay attention or evenly enforce rules.

Just got back from a workout with my wonderful personal trainer, Matt. This facility has a great gym, indoor pickleball courts, many activities for all ages, and a nice indoor pool. Same scenario today and the only change at this facility seems to be at the front desk where they don't greet anyone! They responded when I initiated my own greeting, but customer service should include a hello or welcome of some kind. Even looking up and smiling would be nice. Update: Same nice facility, same great trainer, and same lack of communication at the front desk. Wow!

We went for the spring fling and free pool time. This event was very well organized and a fun atmosphere. I also received a free pass for the next time my son and I want to visit. Our experience was a very good one for it being our first time. 🥰🥰
