★Lawrence BowmanExtremely disappointed with the Scioto Southland Community Center. For the past three years, the staff has been kind, and the facilities well-maintained. However, this week, the manager unfairly revoked my membership simply for not wiping down machines in the gym—something I’ve never been required to do before. I don’t sweat or leave a mess, and the gym was already clean. Meanwhile, the manager enforcing this rule doesn’t even follow it himself as I have seen him MANY times working out in the gym without ever wiping down the machines. The hypocrisy and inconsistency are unacceptable. If you’re looking for a fair and welcoming gym, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.
★★★L MoonPlayground area was under construction at the time of my visit but the place pad was great. It's gated and there are covered tables outside the pad to have lunch at. Bathrooms are right next to the splash pad. Parking was kinda far off.
