★★★★★Susanna RoodMy kids have taken swim lessons at the Dayton Rec Centers off and on over the years and they love it. The instructors are excellent with them, the classes are usually small. The Northwest locations pool is huge and lovely! The locker rooms and facility are clean and well kept. And of course, my kids are improving every lesson and gaining confidence and strength in the water.
★★★★★Anna Simon-PurvisWe rented an activity room here for our son's birthday party and also paid for the kids to swim during open swim and it was fantastic! The staff was super friendly and helpful and the facilities were excellent. Thank you!
★★★★★David KlaiberVery friendly staff. Successful movie in the pool night!
★★★★★John NeaceNorth West Recreation Center is on Princeton Drive. The center is in Dayton, Ohio. It's another park for all to enjoy. Young and Old alike. This location for years had the name of Princeton Park. Inside of this beautiful complex is something for all. A area for those that may want to lift weights. This area includes state of the art machines. The park also offers Martial Arts classes by Master Haines. The aquatic area has a heated pool. Great 👌 for anyone who has arthritis, or may be recovering from a surgery. Come over and see what you can do. Oh yeah Coco love's the grass area🐕.
★★★★★Sean PerkinsNorthwest rec center is a great place to meet friends, exercise and enjoy art. The center has a group of seniors that meet on Fridays from 9 till 12. They regularly have shows that showcase their work. The Dabney pool was just renovated and is simply stunning. I highly recommend you visit one of Dayton's gems!
