If you live nearby, I highly recommend getting the membership and USING IT. There are many perks for coming here. I came in for the day pass because I live in Las vegas. $10 for non residents or $8 for locals. This place is one of the nicest rec centers I've ever visited. An olympic size pool with lockers (quarters needed), hooks for towels and bags, and locker rooms for changing. There is a gym full of nice equipment. Basketball courts (indoors). A snack room with vending machines. And very nice staff to give information whenever you need help.

This is a very nice recreation center. There is a huge game room with table games like two and four player Air Hockey tables, billiards tables, skeet ball, classics like Pac & Ms. Pac-Man and much more. Ther is also a basketball game similar to those that one might find at a carnival where you try to get the high score for most baskets made. There is not, however a basketball ball court. There are also rooms that can be used for group meetings and the like.

This rec center is amazing. I registered for a membership here and was informed of all the benefits that come with it. Teresa was the one who helped me at the front desk with registration and was very knowledgeable of what other features the rec center can offer. I also signed up for private adult swim lessons ( total of 4 sessions, 2/4 done) and is really pleased with my instructor Alyssa. She customizes my lessons according to my current skill level and gives me tasks to practice by myself so the next session is about correcting/tweaking then adds more new tasks after that. I find this approach helpful for me as there is no pressure at the moment to perfect any form. She gives you notes on what to tweak and practice. The women’s locker is also well maintained. It has working AC and always clean. The keys to locker with pins is also a very nice touch that I do appreciate. I leave my stuff in the locker and attach the key with the pin into my towel. Lifeguards are serious about their job👍, shows they care about the safety of members. Plenty of seats if you just wanna chill. Nothing bad to say about this place. The staff here is exceptional.

Large, clean, Rec Center with a very nice staff. The pool, workout area and waiting area are enjoyable.

This rec could get some updating. It looks the same as it did back in the 90s. The kids play area is pretty retro too and that's cool but there's not much for younger/little ones to do. No where for them to run/walk if they're not big enough to climb the playset so it can be boring for them. The staff is always friendly though. Also, sorry to say, but it always smells like the bathrooms here but I guess everybody just ignores or is noseblind to that. Generally everything looks clean though and the workers do what they're supposed to. Membership is nice to have depending on your needs/preferences. I have started going to another rec center in the area.
