Come in here to do some swimming this is a very old facility the staff was pretty friendly and it seems to be well maintain for 1,000-year-old building..renovation is very much needed in this place

Visit here for the first time last night to lap swim. Pool was much bigger than I expected, locker room has everything you need short of bathing suit drying machine and a scale. But has a sauna so adds luxury. The staff in the front were helpful but just a bit over the place with the new registration system. Next time I come I should see the guy who issues membership cards. The locker room attendant gave me a brief but much needed tour. The only thing that wouldve made my experience better is a timer in the pool room.

I dont know what happened to the structure of this center it is shell of what it used to be. However they still offer a lot of good activities at a reasonable rate for membership. It is a multi cultured center and a lot of residents use this facility especially senior citizens.

This place is awesome. I come here to got to a water aerobics class. The teacher is DEDICATED to helping us all attain our goals. I’m am definitely going to continue going. They also have spinning classes, AFRICAN dance classes, a big gym, after school programs, etc. membership fees are great and even though some of the classes they charge for it’s nothing to what you’d pay going to a privately own gym.

Best swimming pool and lifeguards in Detroit. They have an awesome recreation youth swim team (the CAY Barracudas) and nationally recognized swim Coach Gary Peterson. Give your child the life skill of swimming. They also have a learn to row program with the Detroit Boat Club Crew

This place is one of the most important places for children to come and enjoy their entire summer. It is free, safe where all children of all ages can come and learn how to be a friend to neighborhood citizens.

Review №26

I grew up going to this community center every day. It only hurts me to say that the employees there have horrible attitudes, as if I’m their child. They also lack knowledge of their own schedules which causes more confusion to the people that wish to attend. Due to the lack of respect and professionalism, after years of attending this community center I will no longer set foot in that building.

Great swim coaches and classes. They mean business! Water aerobics classes are excellent. The staff are engaged and more helpful than at the therapy center that costs 2 arms and a knee cap with insurance...

For the price you cant beat it! But like many of the most valuble things Detroit fails to invest the money this center needs...perhaps once its fully gentrified, ehem heres to you Mike Gilbert, well see some the updates this place deserves...the staff seems to WANT to be there for the kids, for the community, but you can tell theyre overworked and underpaid though they could be volunteers...in which case the disposition would be explained.

Water in the pool is always too cold. Even after calls/complaints to the City of Detroit Recreation Dept. General Manager, Keith Flournoy, requesting that they make the water a little warmer out of consideration for senior citizens with arthritis who make up the majority of people who actually use the pool, there was no change. This is winter. It is below 20° outside. Keeping the pool temperature at 74-75° when the majority of your guests are 60-80 years old is inconsiderate. Three times we ladies had to get redressed and leave 2 minutes after getting in the pool because the water was too cold. Talking to the staff does not make a difference. City of Detroit Recreation Dept. will not return our calls. I no longer use the Coleman Young Rec Center even though it is close to my home. My recommendation : Use Heilman Rec Center which I give 5 stars. (See my review ) Pool water is 85° and the locker room and pool area is very clean!
