Great sports venue. Easy access and clean facilities. A great variety of exercise options.
"I only go because it’s free for me"

I only go because it’s free for me. Otherwise, I’d go elsewhere. Almost always crowded unless you go at around 6 am. People sit on benches looking at their phone while you’re waiting for one to open up. People forget to wear deodorant, and since we’re all packed in there like sardines, the smells are PUNGENT. Parking is free before 8 am and after 4 pm. But sometimes, their little events shut down the free parking.
"It's just too small and they rent out the facility to too"

It's just too small and they rent out the facility to too many organizations. Free swim lanes are hard to find, sometimes you have to wait 30 minutes for one spot in the only 6 available lanes. Tennis courts are equally busy. Good luck finding a 20-30 lb dumbbell available. They only have one machine for each standard exercise, if you want to do pulldowns (which everyone does) they only have one spot and it's always occupied. They have the space but it's divided up weirdly where they have extra classrooms, squash courts, wellness massage rooms, and other things like this, but not enough basics.
