★★★★★Taylor CorleyStaff is amazing and the amenities are new ! Great playground for the kids and pool is very clean and organized
★LaVerne IveyThe facility and staff is nice however the availability to use therapeutic pool is very to almost limited to entire community. The pool is limited to classes mainly and hard to get into classes. Was this facility built for selected number of people ? I pay taxes and that a lot of services aren’t available to me. If the need was so great then the facility should have taken the size into consideration. So now, I’m forced to go to MD and pay to use the facility needed for my well being.
★★★★★James EllisThe early morning crew is very hospitable and helpful in the pool and regular workout area! The building is always spotless. The patrons are friendly as well!
★★★★Marqués -MJThis facility looks absolutely amazing on the inside and out! It has an enormous amount of potential for a multitude of events ranging from sports tournaments, dance classes, to private events in the very large multi-purpose room! I look forward to more details being released on its utilization and schedule! Disclaimer: there isn't any on-site parking. It does have a kiss and ride loop in front perfect for ride shares, chauffeur service and busses.
★★★★★Caroline AThe new renovation is beautiful with big windows everywhere. I was there for the pool which is heated and also has a separate jacuzzi. The pool isn’t huge but it’s divided into little sections so you can be in your own separate area. Hardly anyone there on a Saturday afternoon. There are maybe 10 parking spaces in the front and only half were in use. Plenty of street parking in the neighborhood too.
