★★★Sasan NamiranianI'm glad this place exists and the fact that with very low subscription fees you can use all the community centers across Portland but this place can really use an overhaul. The moment I got in, I couldn't bare the stuffy, poorly ventilated air inside. One look at the prison style showers and I went straight out. Multnomah county has money and resources, they can surely do better.
★★★★ChrystalThe pool is why I went and it was nice. Lots of lifeguards so I felt safe. Was given a wrist band to show I know how to swim so I could be allowed in the deep end and be able to jump off the diving board. It was nice.
★★★★★Dayna SparksGreat place. Very nice people who understand the unique situation people are dealing with. My sister has been in the hospital since Wednesday and we live 2.5 hrs away. I just needed a shower. Got right in and enjoyed being able to take a simple shower. No complaints. Thank you!
★★★★★Dion ClarkThey have just about anything to do here, I've been here once and I know that I'm going to be returning. Staff is friendly it's a safe atmosphere there are life guards on duty in pool area. Good job guys and gals.
★★★Kirsten BeierWe are here for a swim meet, during one of Oregon's lovely downpours. It was raining inside, there was over an inch of standing water in places. The pool is cold, the air is warm, and the locker room is a maze. The blocks need to bu updated but the pool itself isn't too bad. Portland, fund Parks and Rec and fix this place!!!!
