During our visit the majority of the equipment was in good working order. Parts of the playground were flooded due to recent rains. There were still plenty of areas to play on. Some spinning thing kept my middle child entertained while the older one was part of the clean up. We came to do a trash clean up, and boy did we have our work cut out for us. We cleaned what we could, but had to leave due to poor weather. Masks, cigarette butts, and beer bottles/cans were the items we found the most of. There was plenty of other trash too. Most of it was along the paved paths, and the edges of the playground.

The river was maintained with nice spots to pull off for a rest. --1 star: the bathrooms at the front building were the dirtiest bathrooms I have ever experienced.

( the staff member said what they had washed away in the spring) no where to pull your canoe to get off . Steep muddy hill to climb up. Someone in our group got hurt trying to get out when unloading . Young children were struggling to get up the steep hill.

There's plenty of parking leading up to the huge playground and lots of places to sit and watch your little ones. It was clean and looked safe with tons of different levels to explore. Beyond the jungle gym is a baseball diamond and a large amount of Greenspace to hangout. Not a lot of shade but we did find a nice spot down the hill to paint pumpkins. The grass was neatly mowed and kept up well! Bonus points for trash cans spread throughout the playground. Highly recommend! I may even bring my own kiddo if we are ever in the area!

SWIMMERS BEWARE. UC…read moreRec is a world class facility, and I have been a community member [read: ADULT with ADULT schedule] for several years mainly for the joy of swimming in the natatorium. So, what's your two-star beef, lady? I swim long distances. I prefer deeper lanes for cooler water temperature and less turbulence. In order to ensure that I will procure my preferred lanes, I check the Aquatics Department's calendar and schedule my swims when the calendar states that 10 lanes will be available for lap swimming. A month ago, I was asked to vacate my lane and squeeze into one of the 5 shallow lanes in order to make room for a community swim team that had reserved the deeper lanes for their practice. Check my math here, but I think the calendar should have reflected that only 5 lanes were available at the time of the reservation. (As a side note, why does the team's reservation (or revenue) trump my monthly membership fee?). I left the Aquatics director a message to this effect. No call back. Fool me once. The same thing happened again today. Fool me twice, shame on me. There will be no third time. I've already cancelled my membership, as I indicated that I would in my message for the Aquatics Director. I will join a facility that values my time, schedule, and membership, in part, by keeping an accurate calendar. However, if you are ok with this type of shoddy operations' management, UC Rec is a fabulous place.

The reason I ventured here was for the new paved trails. Schmidt is now the furthest west completed point on the east side of the ohio river trail connection. You can run east all the way to lunkin airport through the Congress trailhead and past the future site of the Carrel Street Station. The trail is very wide and smooth with ample room for multiple bikers and pedestrians. I would say that when the Ohio is very high, much of this section of trail is under water. I've not used the ballfields or the boat ramp but they both look functional and both were in use by many people on a tuesday afternoon.
