Carla Madison Recreation Center

Great rec center. I wish they could have made one side of pool wall, to be able to open allowing for outside use. Or at least a door to the patio. The whole outside area could be fenced in. Or even build a large upstairs deck for the same reason.

Geeze, could this people have some customer service training? I simply went in to ask more information to sign up for a membership. The guy at the front seemed disturbed I even walked in. I stood there 3 minutes before he even acknowledged me. I asled him about swimming lessons for my son and the pool all he said, “it’s closed till july.” And went back to his computer. Like, seriously? Is everyone treated the same? Or was it just me? He didn’t even give me time to ask for a membership. He left me and my son standing there. My son was so excited, but quickly was so confused it made me sad.

Homeowner in the neighborhood that continues to pay more and more property tax every year. Twice in the past two weeks I have tried to take my kids to the pool only to be told they are at “capacity” with less than 20 people in the pool. I realize it’s hard to staff lifeguards during the school year but when I asked if it was because of lifeguard shortages I was told “no”. Not to mention the climbing wall and slide at the pool is open probably 10% or less of the time as well even if you get in. Our tax dollars hard at work! Be honest and staff accordingly!

I want to love this center, it offers a lot of services for such a great price. My issue is that the gym section is so small and there's poor machine selection. There's only one smith machine and I'm usually fighting to use it because it's always occupied. If I come after 4pm, this gym is packed and I'm often competing with teenagers for a spot. There are kids either in the hallways or in the bathroom making TikTok videos. I come here over Planet Fitness because I'm tired of seeing minors using the gym as a social club and I see them vaping or texting instead of working out.

Very good recreation center, a lot of classes and activities:) Came here for the pool, and the pool itself is great! Clean, a lot of space, well lid :) The hours of the lap swimming are great, see attached schedule. Parking can be a bit tight… Overall, highly recommended! Thank you
