Great swim meet by the AquaHawgs. Thanks for the hospitality. Also I need to ice skating again
Great facility. Just know that there isn’t a lot of seating for spectators. So if you are going for a swim meet you need to get there early and save all the spots you can for friends and family. Some people brought folding chairs to put behind the bleachers built into the facility and that seemed to work too and add a little to the capacity.
Loved it. Employees were so helpful. Very accessible for me as a disabled person.
ARVA had a home School event at the Ice Rink today, I must say it has been twenty plus years since I have skated and I am feeling every bit of it now!The school event was fun, The Jones Center overall was great, I would not mind taking ice skating lessons, I’m a little old for hockey but hey who knows
Awesome place with the best most helpful staff. We go ice skating here a couple of times a week!
Very nice place for kids to hanging out and doing some activities inside the center
This place is nice. My University hosts a late skate here once a year and they allow us to skate till 1am. The staff are quick and helpful with the skates and the ice is nice. They also have plenty of lockers for all of your things.
Awesome place. Im 33 and went and played basketball with a bunch of 20 something year old gentlemen. Had a blast. Then went ice skating. This place is awesome for the whole family. Im feeling pretty sore from the basketball but glad I got to get in their again like the old days
Clean, so much to do, love it
Honestly, I’ve loved this place for a while, but I had to leave my own dog in my car just to go inside and see my swim coach after graduating last year. I didn’t leave him out there for long (about 20 minutes) because I was afraid someone would think I abandoned him or forgot him, so in turn, I couldn’t even spend enough time with my old team. I’m not saying this is a bad place, but I wish it was more pet friendly.
This place really impressed me and I know theyre working to improve daily. The only complaint I have so far is the incredibly slow internet. 5mbps most of the time while Im there. And I know they have a conference room so I think this is something worth mentioning. Also, no place to go and work/ use your laptop. That would be an added benefit, for sure.
Awesome place! With everything from fitness center,basketball court,ice skating rink,bicycle & skate board parks,lobbies to relax, and food court where else can you get so much. Also Camp War Eagle conference rooms and private areas to rent for events. Not least to mention is its a North West Arkansas Community College classes location with advisors to get you started. This place has beautiful architecture and interior design. Visit this location and see all it has to offer!
I love the swimming pool
Best ice skating place in nwa. Big ring but wish it was open to the public for free skate more often
Extreme amount of fun with safety to boot! The staff seem to enjoy their job as much as the children enjoy their swimming.
Was better when things were affordable and free. But hey it was still fun for the kids. Everybody got those bills
A very nice sports facility to have available to the community. I was last there to ice skate which was I believe $7 for admission and skate rental. It was nice to see the diversity of the crowd the place attracted and I had a wonderful time.
Great for family time or birthdays they have rooms you can rent for a baby shower or anything
Lots of fun with family and friends.
Awesome and eclectic place. You can swim, ice skate, use the computers and so many other things in this awesome place! Great for kids parties!
I rememeber coming here to practice my dancing with my good old friends... just to escape from all the bad habits b4 the reservation BS happened.. Now were out here struggling find a spot to get down on... litteraily jones center let us down... THE JONES LOST ITS PEACE
This is such a wonderful place for the community, but the prices make it rather difficult for everyone to enjoy. I would like to see them make it more affordable. Its also rather out of the way for being pricey so its easy to justify not going. That said, there are so many great activities for families here.
Great place to take kids and I like the conventions held there.
Super fum place always clean good staff
I miss the old days of the Jones Center. Still a blessing for the community, but it is Always very busy every time we visit the pool or the ice rink. We still have a good time, but its usually a wait to get in and then youre working around the crowd. It seems like the rules have changed, or maybe there arent as many anymore? Or perhaps just the times have changed...
A colleague and I visited today to find out more about the conference center here. Not only were they willing to help us plan our event, they had fabulous ideas for networking the evening before and and the evening after our all-day conference. This facility is clean, safe, and friendly, with so much to offer-from classes to indoor swimming, basketball, one of only two ice rinks in the state, plus a fully equipped fitness center with spin, hot yoga and Zumba classes. The best part is it’s not at all expensive to do any of this! It’s a worthyCause to support as a corporation or individual, as well as a safe place for kids to hang when school is out. Birthday parties, corporate events...Haas Hall even has a campus here. Look into it. I think you’ll like what you see.
The updated fitness center is on point. We are fans of the ice skating rink, and theres also a lap pool and play pool. Its a great community destination and had plenty of room to rent space for meetings or parties. I havent tried the new bike pump track out front but it looks really cool. I love watching the airplanes land next door at the airport and the track has a perfect view.
This place is amazing! So many great fitness programs for adults and kids, and also recreational programs. Super affordable and accessible...Im so glad this center is in our community!!
I visited for a conference and I was amazed on what a great facility this is. Quite a few amenities to choose from. If you’re thinking of a venue for your next occasion, I would check this place out.
This place is pretty cool to go to, especially with friends. It has a few areas you can go to to spend time. Theres the pool area with a childrens section and deep pools up to 9ft deep. Theres the ice skating rink where you can skate around the rink and theres music. Theres the basketball/ track area where you can shoot some hoops or run around the miniature track.
Ive been going here since I was a kid. Now there is a small fee for the activities, but still a great place to go! We frequent this spot.
Lots to do, but the prices keep going up
Always an amazing place to take the family. I love ice skating there.
I took my daughter here and we absolutely had a blast the most fun weve had at a Aquatic Center ever
Awesome. Amazing place I love to go here!
This is a great facility. Prices are low compared to comparable facilities. Theres swimming, ice skating, a fitness center, and more. Not long ago they hosted the Red Bull pump track finals so they added a bunch of tracks outside by the parking lot. Theres nothing else like it in the area.
Great recreation area for all ages. So many things to do. To my knowledge, the only place for Ice skating all year round. Very family/value friendly. Just check it out either online or in person. Great find in the NWA.
Outstanding place for the community. Many options to meet the interests of most anyone.
Its so good for the children to have fun and to host a small birthday party i think its a good place to spend time with the family because there is so much you can do here.
I love swimming here. Their slide is HUGE!!! Fun Fact: This was were the worlds largest baby shower was held.
Always busy and their online schedule doesnt match up well. But for the price you cant complain. (Pool review)
A great place for exercise, swimming & classes! My kids enjoy gymnastics!
A great place for families. Ice skating, hockey and swimming a great deal! And now a gym in affordable prices. Slowly adding more staffs. Like It!
The Jones Center is awesome, I have been coming here for about 4yrs. They helped me with the recovery from my accident. When I started coming my service dog would walk with me. I had a hard time getting down on the floor and getting back up, plus I was afraid to jog that I would fall. I was very, very scared. They helped me out every day, and to my surprise I started jogging, and then I did my first 5k (about 3miles). Yes I was last, but I did it. And here I am doing Zumba, Swim, Biking, Synrgy 360, Boot camp, and many more classes. Thank you God and many blessings to you Janet Southard ️
Its a great way to have fun all day
Need some fun? Lots of them? Then get yourself to The Jones Center.
It used to be great. Everything was free to help poor kids stay out if trouble. Now they charge too much for everything. They use to have some many family activities.. but the Mr and Mrs Jones died everything changed.
I actually only went to get a flu shot but what I saw there looked good in terms of activities.
We have meeting here lots of activity going on
Decently low prices, workers dont really care about you, like at all. They dont hide it. Its relatively nice and the gym is great for the incredibly low price. The pool is great for swimming laps except for the fact that the Mashel Island kids keep jumping in the lap section and ignoring life guards that are telling them they need to go to the swimming side. One kid tried to steal my goggles off my head and then later my towel in the locker room. No idea where the parents are but yeah, wasnt happy little kids were running around unsupervised. The ice rink is what you expect in Arkansas. Glass windows have been broken for over 4 years and the ice is soft because they dont keep the temperature low enough. Also every employee seems to drive the zamboni and none are ever trained correctly. They flood the ice every. Single. Cut. They also dont refill the creases so the ice is unlevel from the hockey games and constantly flooding. This will eventually result in an injury and if that person is aware, they will face serious law suits exactly like the Dr. Pepper star center in dallas.
As a stay at home mom, I was thrilled to join the jones center to use their wonderful facilities, especially the pool, as my son loves the water. However, that excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I realized that the pool is hardly ever open. Allegedly they don’t have the resources to keep both the lap pool and the play pool open, but when the lap pool is open there are two lifeguards sitting side by side “guarding” the pool with only 2-3 swimmers (and spending more time talking with each other). Seems to me they could have one guard at each pool and the two would be just as effective, and more people could use the facility. Also, there is no child care on site so I’m actually never able to use my membership. I shouldn’t have wasted my money here... don’t make the same mistake I did!
I hear its a nice place to go. I will find out soon. I am excited to go
Great workout facilities. Their staff has always been so kind. Its always clean and we appreciate how they stay keep their equipment up and running.
I had so much fun in the ice arena! It was amazing!
Well, It would be wonderful if theyd replaced all of old ugly toilet seat style that they have on the Jones Center toilets with the new style that is recently placed on certain of the Jones Center toilets.
Family friendly, very nice facility
We always enjoy going here! If there we anything I could change maybe the pool area could have a better air filter or more ventilation. The chlorine smell is so strong. There’s lots to do at the center and my kids absolutely love it there!
We love the Jones center! There are so many activities you can learn and be part of! Ice skating is a blast and the swimming polls are fun. There is a water slide as well as a lap pool. My daughter had swim lessons and they were wonderful and very affordable!
Attended birthday party for my granddaughter. Didnt like that we werent allowed to bring our own drinks for the party and their cafe was closed so we had to get water from the water fountain. No ice available.The kids loved ice skating!
Family fun year round.
This place is amazing. Skating rink, pools, and more. We participated in a BJJ championship, and were very impressed.
So many things to do and its so cheap! Family plan is an amazing value and it is all really fun! Highly recommend it!
The Jones Center offers a wide variety of activities to the public which is an invaluable service for all ages.
The place is great for families. The grandkids loved the slide. The lockers rooms and restrooms were clean.
It isnt my go to place. Except they have a fantastic farmers market from spring through fall. I visit a lot there then.
Good place to go with friends and family
Awesome for Birthday Ice Skating parties! and great for family fun in taekwondo, family care classes, and swimming!
Ice skating now costs seven or eight dollars for the skates... And the skates are old, dont snap well, and are really painful on your feet ankles and lower calf muscles. I was really disappointed, but the manager offered a refund for $7 so that was nice.
Nephew had his preschool graduation there. It was nice
The Jones center is awesome! They have ice skating, hockey and figure skating (available for youth through adult), Razorback hockey games, basketball courts, a newly renovated gym, lap pool, kids pool with water slide, and playground equipment (even a handicap accessible playground) on the backside. Great place to bring the family!
Love it. Its an amazing place to take your family to have fun
Visted twice as of now.. good auditorium and apart from the main hall they have separate halls and basketball courts, swimming pools etc..,
Safe Place for all around fun and fitness. Cheap rates.
The line was long to get into ice skating and they had one person taking money. The facility was dirty. There was trash and food everywhere and looked unkept. The skate and admission was reasonably priced and my teens enjoyed themselves. Probably will check out a different rink next time. (Response to questions: We were there for the 2:00 skate, we arrived around 2:10. The trash was on the floors and railing by the locker area. I noticed it when I was trying to take a picture of my kiddos and ended up trying to crop out most of the trash. Thank you for your consideration.)
Love this place. Staff is always friendly and facilities are kept very clean and well maintained.
We love thus place. So much fun!
Very good place with many free service
This place never ceases to amaze, there is always some event going on. Great community center with recreational amenities and all sorts of classes. Also the location for the farmers market on Saturday mornings!
Was nice but nothing to be impressed
This is a great place for yourh and adults alike. Swimming, ice skating, workout areas a gym class rooms and more
Great place. Indoor pool, walking track, ice skating rink, work out room, and lots of childrens activities.
Such a great community center with lots to offer at a VERY reasonable cost.
Great place for community!
Ed Clifford has completely turned this important facility around in terms of facilities, equipment, cash flow and staff attitude. Silver Sneakers (geriatric aerobics) classes for seniors (instructed by Melissa) cannot be beaten nor can its cost. Well done Ed. Thanks for never retiring!
I loved coming up here as a kid, and nothing has changed. They have options for everyone to do something, and its all really affordable. I wish I lived in the area, because a membership would be totally worthwhile!
Great facility here.
Our family had a great time watching the movie, Sing, tonight at the Jones Center. The theater was nice and cool and clean. There were just a few families who attended, so some of the little children had room to dance and clap with the movie. We will definitely ask some friends to go with us next time.
