I bring my granddaughters here for karate with Sensei Chris. He is very good at teaching kids respect, discipline and building confidence in themselves. He teaches traditional Isshinryu karate at Southwest rec on Mon.,Tues., and Wed.

My husband and I use the fitness room 3 times a week. We like to come on Sundays because it is less crowded. The problem is I'm not sure if it is because of less staff members working on this day but on Sunday when you walk from lobby area into the fitness center it is extremely hot and also the wall fans either aren't on at all and if they are they have neglected to have them oscillate. With the temp being so hot in this area it is necessary to at least have all fans fully operating. The young man says he's not sure why the air conditioning isn't functioning correctly. If there is a problem can it please be fixed. Also it would be nice to invest in new fans that work properly.

Easily some of the BEST Har-Tru tennis courts in our state! Hard to believe this is a public facility and not a private country club - top notch staff & amenities!!

Definitely recommend. I can't review the entire place as I haven't really used alot of their facilities, but we do utilize Friday night Fun for the kids. We drop them off at 630pm on Friday evening and pick them back up at 930pm. My 9yo plays with her fiends, my 7 year old plays video games and I'm really not sure what my 5yo does, but he seems to have fun. They have themed nights like Glow night and Nerf gun night. The kids beg to go every week so we drop them off. It's super cheap and we send them each with $3 for pizza a drink and candy. Perfect safe place to drop kids off and let them learn alittle independence.

I tried the Sword fighting class there on Saturday at 1130am and it was so fun. I got to use long swords and side swords and even a sabre. They taught actual fighting techniques and though i didn't spar, the sparring was awesome. They had safety gear for people who didn't bring their own. I thought i would be intimidated, but the teachers were great and by the end of the class i felt like i was getting it. I will be going back and maybe I'll get my own sword and gear eventually!

Nice to have more than one board for diving. The pool is the only place we have visited so far but tennis courts and park are by visible from pool area. Bring your own chair so you can follow the shade. The park is pretty nice. Looks like it has a playground and a work out loop. And a mini zip line!
