It suked my friend got in trouble many times for doing nothing and every time it starts with this random kid who is a jerk.and every time I come here there is never enough basketballs and when we have a complain they never do any thing and people here are super over dramatic and when they say they will do something they lie and don't do it. And certain people cuss in the basketball courts and never get in trouble.

I saw staff today at the park with kids and the staff were not paying attention to kids but were reading books instead of caring for the safety of the kids. It's funny how this isn't the only YMCA who has done this. These young adults are not being safe. Anyone could of taken a kid and they would not have known. Shame. I don't recommend YMCA for child care. Find someone who actually cares for your child's safety as much as you would.

Every time we come here for a birthday party, the rules change. Now, a child who doesn't take the swim test, can even play in the kiddie pool without a life jacket. Ridiculous. And the staff don't follow their own rules, wearing street shoes into the pool area.

The gymnastics and swimming coaches are awesome. My children and I have been coming here for almost two years and have had nothing but good experiences. The kids corner is great when I’m working out too! Staff is friendly and the facility is always clean.
