Powered by GoogleI went there to play pickleball first time today and find all staffs & people are very nice and friendly. Steam room & shower room are great too. Very enjoyable
The facility is well-designed to fulfill a variety of communal and physical adventures and goals. The staff is well-informed and hospitable and the onboarding for new members is efficient and easy. We've only been members a short while, but so far the experience has met, if not exceeded our expectations.
The Ipswich YMCA does have a decent-size steam room inside the locker room.
The pool area is amazing! It's like a small water park, although it's free for use with membership. It has a nice fenced in grassy area for a picnic also. The bathrooms/ changing area are not up to date like the rest of the facility. I tried to hurry as fast as possible in there. It won't determine us from going back for the pool though!
Excellent water park and splash pad! So much fun for kids of all ages! The lifeguards are all friendly and helpful with the kids. There’s a rope to climb, and a swing obstacle across the water. There is a small area of deep water for older kids to swim. The slide is a huge hit! It’s well kept and clean. The bathrooms are pristine! There’s a nice sized family locker room.
