★★★★★JesseJasmin has a great personality and is so much help and made my stay a lot better! I would come back just to speak to her so I wanna give her a thanks for making my stay so good!
★★★★★Your MomI love coming here! The staff is always friendly ( especially the night crew) , the members are welcoming, and the instructors are incredible. The classes and amenities are amazing. I’ve even taken my nephews, and they loved playing basketball and video games while I enjoyed walking the track upstairs. It really feels like a place for the whole family.
★★★★★Andrew TexidorThis place is top notch. Soccer and baseball parks with lighting, a lap pool, children’s play pool and an indoor facility that rivals professional gyms. Basketball, pickleball, volleyball, upstairs is a full gym and track. Showers and locker rooms plus gaming for 8-12 and adolescents. Goodyear residents can join several ways or use day passes.
★★★★★Dan & RobynWe are so fortunate to live near this park. It's new, clean, and has wonderful variety of things for kids and adulta of all ages to do. There's plenty of parking, and a lot of the playground areas are covered for the warmer weather. There are picnic tables to enjoy lunch while visiting and sinks with eynning water. This area can also be rented out for birthday parties. The design of the park is so nice. There's plenty of paved walkways that I push my younger grandson on around while my older grandson's playing on the playground equipment. This Recreation Center also has volleyball courts, fields for soccer and t-ball. There's also a Aquatic Center adjacent to the actual park. People also play Pickleball and Tennis here. The park is always immaculate. I've never seen one piece of trash and I've been there numerous times. There are multiple restrooms that are available and they are always clean. I've enjoyed this park so much and all of the kids that I've ever observed here are having the best time.
★★★★Flower FamWhen our 2 hour time period was over, I wish they gave us a warning or were a little bit nicer. All the lifeguards blew their whistles and started shouting to get out of the water. More guards came running out of the building with life boards, like there was some event. Maybe a drill? Then as we were wondering what happened there was an announcement over the speakers about leaving, but it was hard to hear. Just awkward and a mean way to end the experience. Maybe an extremely loud 15 minute warning chime or bells would have been nicer, and finding a better way to calmly end the swimming time would have been better. I appreciate that the seating areas were all shaded. Had an overall good experience here. Just like a mini water park, everything is small but fun. It is free these 2 opening weeks, then it will go to $75 per family until the end of the year. Then after that it jumps to $600 for a family annual pass. I have no idea how a family would afford that, and that is an insanely high price. I'm not sure the money would be worth it, it's just pool's, a splash pad area, and 1 tall slide. Cool, but not competition for Hurricane Harbor, and neighborhood pools and splash pads can be just as fun on a weekly basis. I hope they lower the annual price.
