Rountree Recreation

Had my 5 year olds birthday party here. It was a great time and experience! She even had a swimsuit for my teen who, being the cool kid, has decided he wasn’t going to swim and then had a change of heart when he got there. She offered without us asking. Extremely kind. The ONLY thing you should be aware of is that the indoor pool space is HOT. It’s a heated pool, inside. Of course it will be hot, but it wasn’t something I even considered. On top of the indoor pool, they have two outdoor pools open during the summer months. They also offer summer camp and swim lessons.

Hosted our daughters 10th birthday party at the indoor pool and it was so much fun! Lots of room for all our guests, the kids had a blast with the diving board and rope swing, and Cheryl was extremely helpful with setup/decorating! All the kids were raving about how much fun they had!

We visited a few times over the summer at the outdoor pool . I decided to sign them up for lessons . Cheryl was the swimming instructor for my 11 and 7 year old . Most times classes started a few minutes late . However, she did teach both how to swim successfully and taught safety tips too . She seems very happy with her job and I would recommend them .

Great experience having a birthday party at the small indoor field! We rented the Nerf guns and barricades for the small field, and there was plenty of space for 20ish tweens and adults. Large area off the field with several picnic tables, and they set up two folding tables outside of that area for food, gifts, etc. We had plenty of space. The staff were very friendly. They set up a speaker with music for our party. We had plenty of trash bins available, and the bathrooms are right in the same area. My son enjoyed having Nerf battles with his friends, and the parents enjoyed ambushing the kids. The whole place is great with indoor and outdoor pools, and an even larger indoor field available. I can see us coming back and renting this space out again for future get togethers. We have been to a party at the indoor pool and that experience lead us to having our own party here. All around great place!

Impressive facility. Overview: Ms. Rountree owns a lot of ground in the-middle-of-nowhere-Hiram-Georgia, and she's built numerous facilities around her home: outdoor pool, indoor pool, indoor fields, etc. It's actually pretty cool. You drive down windy roads past trailer parks and suddenly there it is. Signage is good, but it comes up fast. Parking is a gravel lot, and there's plenty of it. Chickens and a sweet dog Abby wander the property. The facilities are great. Sure, they're not necessarily Division 1 University stuff, but they're very impressive, especially for the price. It very much has a common-sense, down-home feel. For example, in the indoor pool, Ms. Rountree has lots of big houseplants lining the windows, and there's a cool rope swing for the kids and more pool toys (noodles, rings, torpedoes, balls) than you can count. Also diving blocks and a diving board. Shallow end is 4 feet, deep end is eight feet. There's a small playground outside the pool area (some swings, short monkey bars, etc. Even a neat little outdoor pond with a wooden T-rex skeleton. The indoor pool also has a party room. It looks rather eclectic; it's got picnic tables and workout equipment, but it's all neat and quite welcoming. We loved having our party here. Lots of space, clear rules (e.g., don't bring food into the pool area, no running), and, again, that down-home feel: for instance, Ms. Rountree has a separate bucket for scrap food to feed her chickens and goats. We really liked it. For being out in the boonies, they are great facilities. Great for parties. Friendly, down-home staff. Don't expect the ritz, but you're not paying for the ritz, either; expect a welcoming, down-home, no-nonsense facility. Loved it. Would recommend and will probably use again. Oh, Ms. Rountree also does swim lessons, which my son has used, and she's great. Recommended for those, too. You won't find a place quite like this, I don't think...
