Williams Farm Recreation Center

Everything was great until the gym equipment was swapped out. The TV doesn't work on many of the treadmills and the back extension machine is gone. Unfortunately, the staff doesn't know what to do about the tv (they tried) and they told us that the back extension machine is gone for good...and it was super popular. Please address these issues.

It was my first time at this location and the family absolutely loved it! The little lazy river is the perfect size for the kids. I wasn't expecting a small splash pad indoors as well so that was a bonus. The slide was a blast and the pool was well maintained and very relaxing. The lifeguards paid attention really well to everything which is great. The front staff at the desk was extremely helpful and friendly and got us through the process of signing in quickly and smoothly. Awesome location, awesome staff. We will definitely be back and I'll recommend this rec center to anyone.

I took my nieces and nephews to this location. I've been to the other locations and the employees are friendly and helpful. I can not say the same about this location. As soon as we walked through the door the employees were barking orders at the kids and adults. Stand here, stand there, don't bounce the ball, don't bring the ball inside the gym, if you go in the gym.... Bring the ball to me. It was honestly insane and overwhelming. The employees were nagging and power hungry. The kids were doing absolutely nothing but standing waiting to get checked in. To make it worse, a brown skin guy came from the inside basketball court to walk outside and tell the kids their ctocks were not allowed on the court. (Which is fine as long as he says it professionally) My neice was just sitting there. The employee with small man syndrome told her to move and get off of the court. He spoke to a girl in that manner. (My niece is very passive and forgiving. So when she called me I instantly knew the man was out of line.) The kids said, "o we didn't know we couldn't wear crocks." He told KIDS, "well now you know. I'm telling you!" They ofc called me immediately and I came down and spoke to the manager who was nice. The kids repeatedly said how the man came outside with an attitude and was way too aggressive. It's funny that the lil man decided to wait until I left the area to approach children. I saw one adult with braids in the game room reprimand a little girl because she opened the door for me. I knocked on the door to come back in and the lady clearly saw me but decided to look the other way. Thankfully, the girl opened the door and sadly was reprimanded. They act like they don't want you there, it was extremely uncomfortable and unenjoyable. It's a shame the kids chose to play outside because they said they didn't want to be near the employees. The employees here are absolutely power hungry, rude and intentionally unfriendly. We'll never use this center again. I prefer the Kempsville location. Kempsville employees are phenomenal and professional.

We enjoyed our stay. The pool—our kids loved it—had plenty to keep them entertained, and the staff was helpful and kind. We later found out that they had a rubber duck collection for the kids to borrow and play with as long as they returned it afterward, of course. The shower rooms had hot water and plenty of privacy, and the facilities were well-maintained. We will definitely come back.

This was my first time at the rec center, going for the pool. It is so nice!! Definitely more geared towards kids- water slide, water okay ground area both in the pool and outside. Our kids had a blast! There's 3 swim lanes for laps. At least 2 life guards were on duty while we were there for open swim. A day off for kids is $8 and for adults it's $10. Not bad!
