This is a great facility but has terrible rules. When I take my well behaved 12 year old son we are not allowed to use the warm therapy pool or the lazy river. We can only use the paddling pool and the swim lanes. This, when there are fewer than ten other pool users. Great if you are old and hate children.

I would give five stars but... they have a MASSIVE ant infestation. Took my daughter here and we went to use their indoor pool. Set down our towels on a chair and noticed a large amount of ants on the floor. I thought maybe someone had spilled food there. We moved to another set of chairs near the walls and I noticed ants everywhere there also. I looked along the walls and there were just huge trails of ants along all of the outer walls surrounding the pool area. What is even more disturbing is that I contacted the person who is supposed to be supervising that rec center and they did not even bother to get back to me. Definitely won't be going back here.

A very pleasant surprise! We were visiting the pool for something to do during a cold day with no school. There were not many other pools available for open swimming during the day so decided to give it a try after seeing they had a lazy river and a few other things we thought would be fun. It was a blast! The lazy river was a lot of fun with multiple routes to take and various hiding places perfect for playing tag. There was also an outdoor hot tub which was also great fun while it was snowing.My only concern is that it probably gets very busy and crowded during normal times since the facility is a little smaller than others we have been to

There is no open swim area. Either the shallow baby pool or lazy river. No water fountain anywhere . No trash cans at all. Very few tables and chairs. Then they let 40+ kids in at once with maybe 5 adults. Chaos my family left immediately as the place is no where near big enough for this many people!

I am a caregiver. I take my handicapped client there to use pool. She cannot walk. So swimming is great for her. There is a chair lift to put her in the pool. Lifeguard always on duty. Children and babies welcome. Wonderful place. There is a full gym also.

We love the pools & lazy river. There is so much more to really appreciate the scope of their programs. The exercise equipment is usually available and the indoor track is really nice during inclimate weather. Great facility.
