My dad had joined it back when he was alive and able to walk around. One of my guys at work told me that he and his wife joined last week so I thought I'd check it out. I went after work, took a tour and really loved the pool and the fact thar they have a sauna. I joined after I walked the place.

I joined about a month ago. Love it! I use the walking track and some of the numerous machines all in AC. Everyone is very friendly.

It' a great place for seniors. I take a wonderful water stretching class. There is exercise equipment, all kinds of classes, both fitness and fun. Everyone is really nice. There are lots of glasses and fun things to do there. I highly recommend it.

The Summit is an activity center/ recreation center hybrid with some social activities sprinkled in. They seem to have everything that one can imagine. A snack bar that serves beer and wine - I didn't see any whiskey shots lined up on the counter so yeah, I guess just beer and wine. But the snack bar also has sandwiches and other snacks/soft drinks and is placed rightly near an outside viewing deck.The place appears to focus on Pickle Ball, a sporting trend that is picking up lots of rhythm nationally. There is a first-rate elevated track, cushioned for a softer impact that rounds itself near some workout stations and a panoramic view of Grand Prairies foremost area of growth The Epic Central. And plenty of stationary recumbent bikes strategically placed both up and downstairs.The free weights and machines should be enough for anyone maintaining their physical fitness but these two areas are oddly separated by different floors. Speaking of floors, as I mentioned there are two (I think) with access by either stairs or elevator.My wife likes the pool and the adjacent changing room. She also got a kick out of the crafts room, well that's what I call it, its a sort of knick knack store where various artisans and otherwise skilled people bring in sundries to sell. Usually nonfood stuffs.They have a small movie theater. I dig movies and have developed a hefty lexicon of motion picture knowledge. I even watch silent films, unheard of in modern day culture. The movie rotation cant be shared apparently for licensing reasons and if you want to know what's showing they recommend taking a look at the website. I'm not 100% sure about that.Pool tables are intuitively placed near the entrance. There are a number of activity or event rooms here. The general lay out is pretty impressive, its obvious that the city spent some money here. Oh, getting around to money, admittance here is not free. It's a membership type set up with either monthly or annual payments.The primary downside to The Summit may be that they are understaffed and the hours of business sometimes changes, at least that's what I observed.

Great place for seniors to go. They have a pool, exercise room with free weights or machines. Pool tables, different card games , and so much more. People there are always friendly and willing to help you with your questions.

If you are 55+ and want to exercise with friendly, like-minded folks, this is the place! The pool is huge with giant hot tub, a Vortex, lap lanes, and most days a group of Seniors playing games in the water. There are $1 lunches, a snack bar with homemade goodies, a Shop full of hand-made treasures at really low prices. Several games of pickleball are usually happening, bridge games, shuffleboard, a soft indoor walking trail, and tons of exercise machines.

I came here to enroll my parents. The ladies in the front did not want to do their jobs. I asked for a tour of the community and was told they are short-staffed and I would have to self-tour. There were two workers up front and I was the only customer. I will find somewhere else my elderly parents can go to that may care more. Plus the place looked empty and lacked life. The rooms where classes are to take place including the gift shops were all empty/closed. The only activity I saw that took place was in the fitness center and pool.

Nice large facility, walking track, pickle ball, movies, snack bar with reasonable prices. There were a lot of people moving about staying active. The staff was friendly and informative. One concern is that the chlorine is very strong in the pool area, and my eyes hurt and teared up. 😢 …

Think of your own yacht with a heated* olympic pool at the back! Movie theater, billiards room, cafe, masseur, several ballrooms, weight and machine rooms, and walking lanes above the pool! Trips too! Dreaming? Nope. Join the Summit Senior Center! Most insurance pays your membership! Ahoy!* though sometimes cooler than one would prefer.
