The Mitchell Recreation Center is a municipal recreation and indoor aquatic facility in Mitchell, South Dakota, offering group exercise classes, event spaces, and an indoor pool with swim lessons and open swim year-round. It is a city recreation venue rather than a dedicated kids' summer camp, though the city registers various summer programs here.

★Derrick ClevengerFacility staff was extremely unfriendly and un-welcoming. Slides were closed, diving boards were closed, life jackets for a 5 year was not allowed. Volleyballs were not allowed. They wouldn’t allow our 5 & 6 year olds to play in the dry indoor play ground. Zero intention to come back.
★★★★★Cynthia MushitzI went there to watch my granddaughter's swim meet. Very nice facility. Coffee truck outside is a nice touch as well.
★Mason FredrichI’ve been coming to the recreation center for nearly a year, and the experience has steadily declined. While some staff members are kind and helpful, a few—around two or three—are consistently rude and unprofessional, which creates a negative environment. Unfortunately, this issue extends beyond the general staff to some of the lifeguards as well. Additionally, the recreation center fails to provide adequate notice when implementing new rules or scheduling events that significantly limit facility access. For example, for the past three months, the men’s league has taken over one basketball court every Tuesday and both courts every Wednesday. This leaves little to do on those days besides working out. However, the gym recently changed its policy—without warning—prohibiting anyone under 14 from working out, even with adult supervision. As a result, younger members are unfairly restricted every Wednesday due to circumstances beyond their control. Beyond these restrictions, my family and I have been unfairly singled out by sudden rule changes. Whether it’s small things—like being told we can’t move a speaker—or major changes, such as the new workout restrictions, these rules seem to have been enforced specifically against us, despite others engaging in the same activities without issue. This level of inconsistency and unfair treatment is completely unacceptable Sincerely, Mason Fredrich.
★casey nesporI've been coming here for a year with my kids everyday.It was good at first But every month it's a new rule and they get more strict. The most workers are rude and don't explain anything to you just go straight to kicking you out. I chose this fitness place to do things with my kids but they close gyms down with out saying and have events with no heads up. Life guards are very rude when we go swimming as well. I highly recommend any other gym if possible.
★★★★★Chelsy FrenchWe had my daughters 7th birthday party here. It was a great deal, fun times. Fair price for fair amount of bracelets, etc. Happy staff, very helpful, and good smiles. Thanks so much for making it a wonderful day for my daughter.
