I have taken my children here multiple times before Covid19 and now that they are only allowing small numbers of people per reservation they have chosen not to allow the sprinklers in the kids swim area to turn on at all in the morning in order to cater to the elderly people who like to swim laps in silence. This is unfortunate for me and my family because for one thing; we pay a lot more than the elderly people to go swimming, secondly my kids nap all afternoon so there is no way we could wait and go in the afternoon. It makes me so sad because I love that pool. It is unlikely that we will be returning to this pool anytime soon unless this changes.I am however grateful the manager allowed us to play in the sprinklers for the last 15 minutes because the elderly people left but it still is unfortunate that we paid full price to use the facility and weren’t told that all of the sprinklers wouldn’t be available for playing in.

Great place for hosting small and medium sized birthday parties. You can reserve the rock climbing space for an hour with an instructor and then move over to a room you set up for cake and presents. People were fairly nice and the kids loved it. It cost about $120 for the two hours.

I love this place. I come here to rock climb, and the instructors are super kind and helpful. If you dont have climbing shoes, or a harness, thats okay because they can provide you with both.

Came for the baby gymnastic event. It was a blast! They put it all of the equipment and let the kids go nuts. Im thinking of signing them up. Noticed a huge workout area. Baseball diamond, play area, green grass everywhere! Worth the trip, will be back. Handicap accessible, water, Restroom.

We love this recreation center! The classes are wonderful for my three year old daughter - weve taken gymnastics, swim lessons and rock climbing. I wish there were a few more drop-in gymnastics classes but outside of that, no complaints! Enjoy the swimming pool remodel.

The outside portion of this place is awesome! Skatepark, baseball, basketball, soccer fields, community garden, playground and I heard there is a water park and pool inside, too, right next to B&G club. Beautiful strolling areas, paved and grassy, as well ample parking. Hidden gem.

Just absolutely amazing. My family goes here 5 times minimum over summer. It’s an amazing location, the staff and faculty are very friendly, easy parking, and has beautiful park here too. Stellar location for birthdays as well. Admission fees are basically the best in town, $4 for kids, $5 for seniors, and $6 for adults. We’ve gone here for nearly 5 years, great service.

This is a fun place. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I ESPECIALLY LIKE Brenda at the front desk. She helped us when we first started going there to exercise and swim. The lifeguards are very professional, but also fun. I also am impressed how clean the center is.

We meet here weekly for church. The rec center leases out a room. All the staff are very polite. On the rec center side, the pool is awesome. Its warm! There used to be a pirate ship here, but they remodeled and got rid of it... Truly unfortunate. The rock wall is a blast with a variety of skill levels. They also offer discount nights for climbing, be sure to look them up!

Best place to take toddlers swimming. I havent really used their other facilities, but the pool is by far the warmest around by about 10 degrees. The toddler area is also completely separate from the deeper pool so they cant wander into the deep part by accident. My one and three year olds love it. Older kids might get bored.

Review №51

The pool is a great place and it isnt very expensive lifeguards sometimes have a face but besides that they are strict and dont let people throw babies back and forth to each other and dont let adults kiss around any kids plus any reports that Ive made to the lifeguards they do change it I always go there when its hot out and if something goes wrong with the pool and they have to make yoy get out and youve been there for around 1 hour or less they give everyone who is there with you a pass to go on free any other time

Review №69

The link is a great recreational facility, with many different programs and activities, such as rock climbing, gymnastics and swimming. All of the staff are very nice, except for Chris L, the climbing instructor. Avoid him at all costs. He has some serious anger issues, and poses some unprecedented customer service anomalies. In other words, he is a Brobdingnagian, irascible, imbecile. Some may say he is “a little intense”. Others say he is a “droning, milk-livered, maggot-pie”. Chemists compare him to nitrogen triiodide. He is very easily perturbed. Hitherto, the rock climbing program has been great. Let’s hope it can restore its former greatness.

Review №79

Amazing front desk people! Every time you walk in they have a smile on their face and seem so eager to want to help, they are the only reason I am not giving this place a 1 . My ex-boyfriend had put our baby girl in gymnastics classes, when I went to pick my daughter up that day since my ex had a work commitment; the facility was crawling with ants and looked as though something sticky had been spilt on the floor. The coaches seemed annoyed and behaved unprofessionally, as I heard one cussing to another employee in the corner after class was dismissed that she cant wait to get the f@$* out of here and there was tension in the air as well as screaming kids and a filthy facility crawling with ants. I was appalled that my ex had signed our 5 and 1/2 year old up at such a dirty unprofessional place to say the least. The gym is not the only dirty part of the facility, the locker rooms are also covered in toilet paper and urine. Icky place with unprofessional staff.

We reserved The Link for my moms memorial service & at our most difficult time, this staff was the most professional, courteous staff to work with. Everything was exactly the way it was promised, and I just cant say enough about how happy we were with The Link. Andres was my point of contact and Ill definitely recommend The Link first to anyone that needs their services.
