Powered by GoogleWe got misdirected by Google to this location. Looks very nice and parking sucks! Looks like an amazing rec facility for those living on campus.
Do not expect any extension of grace or hospitality from front desk. A sad depiction of its generation. The pool was resort-like. Lovely.
Watch out! GPS may tell you to drive down this lane, Don't! There's a campus cop waiting at the end out of sight giving anyone a ticket who drives down this lane. I guess it peds only, but there's no signs up. A speed bump. And, drive way entrances. Don't be fooled. He will insist that there are signs saying do not enter (there aren't) and will give you a $240 ticket for not following signs. I asked him about the lack of signs and he said that his solution is to give tickets instead of putting up a sign.
Nice big venue, but it needs atmospheric lighting and a music set up, a larger washing area for clean up as well.
I work out here and every time I get impressed at how expansive and comprehensive this facility is. It truly is a one stop shop. If you're an early riser, their early hours and shower facilities will let you start your day right. If you're an evening punching bag session sort of person, the pool is a great place to take a quick dip to relax. Everything from deadlift to laps in the pool available almost any time of day. Coming from a background of no gym membership, I truly think this place leaves you wanting for nothing. All the equipment you'd ever need is ready, are you?
