Insider tips
- Confirm pool operational status if visiting outside the summer months, as it may be closed.
- Set realistic expectations for shower facilities; prepare for cold, push-button showers with minimal privacy and no temperature control.
- Bring your own basketballs if planning to use the basketball courts, as they are not provided.
- Exercise extreme caution with parking; strictly adhere to all parking rules and potentially inquire about specific guest parking policies to avoid issues with management/enforcement.
- If facility modernism and maintenance are high priorities, manage expectations due to reviews mentioning a dated facility and broken amenities.

- If your visit is contingent on a heated or fully operational pool outside of peak summer season.
- Crowds

- Value

"Cold/warm showers, 10sec push button showers, very tiny gym located on other side of locker rooms, more basket ball hoops than anything else, pool closed, suana off every morning, steem room broken, don't cross train employees, they called the police on me for parking in their parking lot during business hours. Management couldn't be much more neglectful and useless. They don't seem to care about their customers as they have contracts with local schools or something. No clocks for hot rooms. Showers have zero temperature adjustment. Shit for hours."

"No private showers and the showers they do have only have cold water with the exception of 2. One is moderately warm. The other is hot but doesn't stay on for more than 5 seconds before you need to hit the button again and there's no shower head. They don't have basketballs laying out to use on the courts either. The weight room is nice but I wish the dumbells increased by 2.5lbs instead of 5lbs."
