Very nice sports complex. Easy to get to on the west side of Lawrence.

Go for toddlers gymnastics and stay for bball and soccer. Great place to take a kid to run off steam for an hour or two. Famous foam pit.

Love this place. You can come and play tennis for free. Tennis courts are Open to public. Covid friendly sport

Impressive venue for sports. Almost anything indoors.

Great place to work out, has about everything. I am dinging one star though because the Sandbar cafe in here doesnt have protein shakes. Seriously? Its located inside of a gym and makes sandwiches and has a snack food and beverage selection to rival that of a gas station. They have several drink chillers full of sugary soft drinks though. I feel this cafe should be its own place on Google Maps (but its not) otherwise Id give the fitness facility a 5 and the cafe a 2 or 3.

Lawrence is really at the top of the game when it comes to public recreation facilities, in large part because of the Rock Chalk sports complex. The Sports Pavilion has a good quality 1/8 mile indoor track, several treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals, etc., a good sized weight room, multiple basketball and volleyball courts and a snack bar, including a small section that is self-serve and thus always open. Im sure there is much Im leaving out through inexperience.The staff are helpful and the facilities are clean and well maintained.

Its a free community gym that provides all the basics while including a variety of classes and fitness & wellness services. I dont know the full range of what they offer, but feel like I havent duscovered everything yet - and Ive been going here for years. I wish it stayed open far later and was closer to my house - but thats just me being a little selfish.

I use to use the place to lift weights sometimes when I was on this side of town. Its pretty decent but it can be packed and some of the people here are rude. The staff is usually pretty nice. If you are more serious about lifting, I recommend finding a gym that you pay for. Overall youll have a better experience. Good for how cheap it is.

Love this place! Wish we had one like this back in our hometown. Huge location, tons of courts, great food, all you can ask for!

Lawrence residents are very fortunate to have access to such an amazing FREE resource. We use the indoor track, weights, and the outdoor trails frequently. The basketball and volleyball courts are a great asset as well.

Its a great facility, but not without a couple problems. One being 90% of the facility is used by organized sports during hours when anyone with a job is going to be able to go. Another is that the workout room is way too small for the facility. Its sized for about a dozen people and it frequently has double or triple that so you end up having to wait for every single machine - especially when half the people there are spending 2 minutes between sets checking out their triceps in the mirror or snap chatting. I used to go here to workout because free is great, but became so tired of spending 90 minutes to do a 30 minute workout that I just bought a gym membership elsewhere in town.

Since my wife and I are retired, we no longer have an excuse to not exercise. This is a nice facility and free to Lawrence residents.

Its a gorgeous facility with a lot of indoor basketball courts, all complete with seating amenities and digital scoreboards on every court, tennis courts with seating/digital scoreboards on each court, an indoor soccer facility with seating and scoreboards, a massive elevated track, a hangout and snack bar with flat screens always broadcasting sports, a huge workout facility with treadmills, stair masters, ellipticals and weight machines.... all of this and more next door to the University of Kansas softball stadium, soccer stadium, track and field stadium, and a Tennis complex with several indoor courts and several outdoor courts. The entire complex is one of the best sports facilities open to the public in Northeast Kansas.

Great people! Great atmosphere! Staff very helpful.

Sports Pavilion is very busy on weekdays but if it is open, you will have a great time doing whatever you want to do. The building itself is always very clean and filled with staff. I had no trouble working out in the gym and on the track.

Wonderful place for kids and adults... several activies available and great staff...

Attended a Senior Program. Its a nice place.

This place is pretty amazing. Great for sports families. While my daughter is practicing volleyball and my son is working out, Im walking and watching them. Nice facilities.

Just learned about this a few months ago and its a very nice facility. They have just about everything you could need. Volleyball, basketball, turf room, weight room, gymnastics room, and more.

Excellent place for our club volleyball tournament. Huge facility. Ample amounts of seating at each court. Huge place, be prepared for some walking, and stairs. Large selection at the concession area. More than just concession stand type food. If you have to be trapped in place with Jayhawk signage all day, its not too bad.

This complex is absolutely amazing. Great day of basketball #Mokan

Great sports facility. Small weight and machine work out space but great facility that includes indoor soccer field, basketball/volley ball courts and pickle ball. The best part is that it is free to any Lawrence resident. Best deal in town.

Very nice facility!!!

Great indoor track, lots of weights no waiting

What a great place for lots of people! So many great basketball courts...indoor soccer was the kiddos favorite.

Christmas extravaganza was good. Lots of vendors but they had sports going on the same day so parking was a nightmare.

Good place. Its nearly right beside my place at home

A great place to walk indoors. I prefer to walk downstairs so really appreciate it when P&R staff leave a space between bleachers and wall so I can walk with minimal disruption to players on the courts.

Great inside walking track. Great facility.

I, personally, like this place a lot. I play softball and there are multiple fields for me to have pitching practice, and practice altogether. I play softball in Baldwin, but its still nice to have another place to practice.

Nice place for the volleyball tournament. Good parking and lots of space inside. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Its a great place to go an workout with family and friends. You have many options of what you can do you will always have something to do. You can enjoy a great time working on your physical health while being surrounded by people who will encourage you. You will always leave feeling more energized than ever.

Nice facility for VB tournament.

Expansive and awesome place to have indoor activities.

Best thing to happen to Lawrence Ks.

Great place great people

We walked a mile on their indoor track. Many others were doing the same thing. Fun.

This place is incredible! So many courts to use for volleyball and basketball. Can get very loud when theres lots of people there. Just wish I was a Lawrence resident so I could use the track and weights.

Good clean facility. Weight room is small but functional. Usually not too long a wait for equipment. Needs some additional machines, racks, and heavier dumbbells as well as a few other gym essentials.

Great free gym.

I enjoy coming here for my sons basketball tourneys. I had an awesome staff member help me clean up a veteran that had fell outside and hit his head. He was bleeding pretty bad, and the lady jumped right in. The guy had drove all the way from Wichita, Kansas to see his grandson play. He was so thankful and so was I. This place is great and also in a great location.

Great facility for volleyball tournaments. Decent concession food.

Its a great gym and its free for Lawrence residents during the time it was built. The only think is there should be more squat racks but thats every gym!

Busy! Thats great!

Rock chalk park.... should be called volleyball park for only volleyball players

This is such an awesome facility to have in Lawrence! Great place to work out, whether youre looking for a treadmill, weight machines, or open courts. Now, Im not going to complain about a free gym but do be careful when you go. There are camps, tournaments, and practices that really fill the place up so if you really want to be safe, you might call ahead.

I wish this wasnt 60 miles from my house.

Awesome facility, even better staff!

Love getting to play basketball with my son without paying an arm and a leg for a membership

Ok. Just ok. But great for citizens of DC to have an indoor place.

Awesome place to let it all out---

The soccer refs were a little unorganized, but other than that it was good.

This place is awesome for basketball. Enough seating for fans and easy to get to!

Food was a little pricey. Other than that we had a great time.

Excellent workout facility. Clean and great running track.

Nice, new, big, post daily calendar of events

Neat sports complex but drinks were ridiculus i thought i was at a movie theater...lol 2 drinks were almost 7 bucks but if you take in consideration free admission i guess its not too bad. More comfortable seating would be great addition.

Food court has got to go! We play volleyball tournaments here and last Sunday the food court was terrible! The people working the food court even said it was terrible. The food supply was gone by early morning and what little food existed was bad! Drinks were gone. Need better food choices or need to allow us to bring in our own food. Disappointing! Also the bathrooms need to be cleaned and restocked more frequently.

Thank you for the clean bathrooms, however, we needed paper towels

Brand new. Pretty nice basketball courts and small indoor track. The indoor soccer field is nice. The place gets crowded in a hurry, especially after work hours and there are usually events going on. Nice facility. Very far out from town.

Dont waste your time or money on the gymnastics classes. This is not gymnastics! They have a bunch of young girls who possibly took gymnastics as a child but they do not teach your children anything. Half of the time they dont even show up so someone who knows even less then the so called instructor will watch the children while they run around wild doing absolutely nothing about gymnastics because they cant even keep the children under control...complete joke!!! Save your money and take your kids to the open gym...theyll learn just as much but for only $5

I wish we had something like this at home

I love the atmosphere and the walking track. Will definitely be going back!

Wish it opened a smidge earlier but take what I can get!

Nice facility, well lit and plenty of space for games

Had to change my daughters diaperon a changing pad on the floorin the mens restroom. Will not return unless l have too.

Training The Best. Worldwide

Fun Holiday Bazaar

This is a great place to play valleyball! People were very nice and bath rooms were clean.

Very nice clean great place to go work out an more everyone you meet nice an helpful if you have any trouble

Fun place overall, but I feel it closes a bit early. Sometimes smells of sweat, and sometimes there is no place to use the electric machines. Still. Great experience overall.

Excellent!!! Wish we had a facility like this in Norman, Oklahoma

Very nice facility. Impressive.

Weve been to this facility a couple times now for our 2-year-old sons group soccer class and my younger sister in laws volleyball tournament. Each time weve gone its been on Saturdays and although the facility is all hustle and bustle, its run very efficiently. Our son LOVED the soccer classes and the coaches--they were very patient with the kiddos and really made it fun for them. My in-laws travel frequently to different sports facilities across the state for my sister-in-laws competitive tournaments and they claimed this was the best location yet! They were very impressed. Its clean, organized, and the concession venue offers a great variety of options to include everything from healthy wraps/fruit to tasty treats we often crave while attending any sporting event like nachos or hotdogs.Were thankful to have a facility like this in town and look forward to exploring additional youth classes and the gym space/track for our own fitness. Thank you for running such a well-oiled machine!

Nice and clean place.

Great place to walk during cold or inclement weather.

We could not hear the soccer teachers because the basketball tournaments and volleyball tournaments are so freaking loud. How about not scheduling them at the same time?

Awesome place workout and play with kids. They have several opportunities for engaging in a healthy lifestyle.

Awesome!

Everyone is really nice. They provide a nice gym that is free to use. Their basketball courts are really nice and loan out basket and volleyballs

Need more squat racks but great place otherwise

The Pound class is awesome! !

Great place to get your sweat out.

Love it its da best pivolon as dj kally would putbit

I like the environment, its a good place for people to work out

Great place almost never has field/courts free to public

Soccer fields are great.

Nice venue but very noisy.

This place is pretty slick

Very nice place and clean

Great community place, excelent people attending and well designed. The instructors are dedicated and the place is always in a great mood.

Brand new and well equipped with friendly staff

Nice track with lockers and changing rooms and lots of equipment for use.

Fantastic facility for a variety of activities including tennis, basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, fitness classes, gym and cardio equipment. A top notch community facility, free to residents. My one wish would be to have more cardio equipment.

Wonderful place to workout, play a game of basketball or enjoy indoor soccer went it is hot outside. Very friendly staff and a beautiful facility.

A really nice facility and its still new. Never have to wait for workout equipment.

They have workout equipment for everyone at the Sports Pavilion Lawrence, from a stair-step machine to an indoor track. Its a great environment to get you back in shape!

Loved our trip!

This place is huge. And free! 8 full size double courts (so 16 basketball or volleyball games possible at once). Indoor track that alternates directions depending on day. Dumbbells, 2 squat racks, a number of machines. The cardio machines overlook some of the courts so you can watch and work out at the same time. I go here for an adult volleyball league. Annoying parts are that its pretty far away from literally everything. And I feel like they close pretty early (9pm).

The Sports Pavilion regularly hosts big tournaments, but at least one court is held back for members (meaning not the visiting players or family). Ive found good pickup basketball games during these tournaments.
