Not bad of a place. I was a bit disappointed as a veteran because the flag is ripped up from flapping against the building. Maybe move the flag pole... but please replace our American flag.

My family reunion was there this year. It was spacious and that made even better for all of us to just enjoy our family. I am thankful that my family chose this location.

We always love bringing our child here. The parks are relatively new and kept up well. The water park and pools are great for toddlers up to adults and even offer swimming lessons. Great for birthday parties or other gatherings. Just a great community vibe.

This is a great facility!! We honesty would purchase a membership and come for the toddler classes if it wasnt always so cold. Its miserable taking the kids to swim because they keep the pool area to cold to ever adjust, literally have cold bumps the whole time. I cant seem to push myself to stay long because of it. I talked to the front about it but they will not change it and everyone I know that had been there has said the same thing. Maybe one day they will take peoples concerns about the pool temp and we will come back.

County owned, indoor swimming pool, basketball, and racket ball. Outdoor baseball, soccer fields and kids play area. Not expensive to join. Very clean and well maintained. Offers classes in different crafts like sculpting. Swimming lessons and indoor kids play pool. You wouldnt even know it existed because of its location.

Great support from staff. Helped decorate and a attend a wedding reception. The location of the venue and the kitchen was perfect. The caterer had access to a food Warner, refrigerator for large quantities of food, prep and storage areas. The restrooms were clean adjacent to the reception room. It was nearly 115 guest. The arrangement was spacious and set-up for dancing was available. The space was well used without overcrowding. They had a candy bar, DJ area and cake area. Everyone had a great time.

Its a wonderful facility for families. The staff is always friendly and helpful. There are a variety of activities. The kids enjoy the pool and the splash park. If youre looking for a particular activity its best to call in advance. Sometimes the pool or basketball courts are unavailable for members due to school activities but they give notice for upcoming events.

Great place to take the whole family. I love taking the girls to the indoor splash park and pool. When its time for some cardio, my youngest daughter enjoys the complimentary childcare. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Great place for the family, clean, awesome playgrounds for all ages and for kids with special needs, awesome indoor pool once again very clean, kids pool is only 2ft deep so its great for toddlers to learn, locker room and showers, racket ball court, Indoor track around a nice basketball court, weight room gym, as well as lots of classes for Zumba. Thank you Smithfield for putting the money into a great place for recreation.

Been going here for a few years. The staff at the front desk are awesome, Gail & Tonya go out of their way to take care of you. Its a good place to exercise, do one of many fitness classes, swim or join in the aquatic classes. You might even meet a friend or two while youre there. Check it out.

Not a member but use the outdoor facilities almost daily, have played basketball inside on more than a handful of occasions and the staff seem split down the middle of not caring and very nice. Most often i use the outdoor basketball courts, me and my friends love to play out there at night. The only complaint i have with the outdoor courts is that there are no rules or regulations on how long a group of people can play a game and sometimes it is hard to get a court to use if you arent there at five oclock in the afternoon when all the kids show up to play

If you dont pay for their membership its like your a nobody I was in the gym one time and this guy had his shirt off because he was dieing after a work out couldnt even breathe and this staff member came in it was a male I understand people have problems out side of work but this is his job treat others the way you want to be treated he just barged in and HEY put your shirt back on a simple Excuse me sir could you put your shirt back on your breaking our policy on shirtless bodys wouldve done it then he proceeded to curse on his way out after a conversation with the coach and I think I heard a stereotypical comment Im not sure dont take my word for it he mumbled it on his way out like 10 feet away from me. Another time I needed to use the outlet to charge my phone enough to call my mom to pick me up and the guy that drives the yellow Jeep I know he runs the place or something but he told me I needed a membership to sit on the benches outside and use the outlet OUTSIDE What in the world man I dont know what it is I know there are good people in this establishment but its always the ugly ones on the inside that have to act like the world is theirs you can lose anything just as fast as you earned it or got it I know that was a bold statement but I despise remembering these events. But not a bad place its a great place to get in do what you need and get out plus like I said some staff members are nice I really appreciate them.

Fun place for a birthday. Clean locker rooms, the kids play area has a bunch of neat water features & is almost as big (not deep) as a normal pool. The pool is large & there is a basketball goal, a small inflatable slide, wipeout style lily pads & nice lanes & large seating area. There is also a gym with several basketball goals & who knows what else, we just played in the swim areas.

Not nearly enough weight lifting machines. There is a large free weight room but the narcissists love to hang out in the upstairs room with the machines so unless you go in the middle of the day expect a lot of competition for machines by guys doing endless sets then staring at themselves in the mirror. Yes its just as creepy as it sounds. Two stars are for the Zumba class with Pretz. Shes great. If you want less kids and more access to machines you might try Health Quest.

Review №65

The splash pad was great for my 3 toddler grandkids + 2 infants needing extra attention. The staff at check-in were really nice & accommodating. The 2 drawbacks I found were the layout of the pool entrance was a negative. From the front door one has to walk quite a ways around the square hallway to get to the pool. Pool exit is very convenient leading right to front desk. The 2nd negative I found was that the flooring of the splash pad bottom is bumpy concrete. 2 grandkids got toes/elbows scraped just by swimming in there. We arent members but we ate locals. We didnt know to ask for facility towels at the front desk so we ended up sharing 3 towels among 5 kids & 3 adults. A big + is that there was a lifeguard on duty.

Find place to take the kids. Indoor splash pad is a lot fun for many different ages. My only reasoning for 4 stars was the price. As a non resident it is $11 per person to utilize the pool. I found that very steep.

Not bad for the area it has everything that a rec center should have! Just not the best facility in technology and space. It has basketball courts, a small indoor track, a indoor pool, and a work out room. But that is about it for the facility.
