The price was right for our needs. I mainly use the sit down bikes due to back issues. I just wish there were more of them and they would keep the TVs working.

How can you not love a place like this?…read more Check it: State of the art fitness equipment. Raised indoor track, 1/6th of a mile around. Professional, certified fitness training staff on site. Indoor pool open year-round. Two full-size gymnasiums with all the amenities. And so much more! The Lenexa Rec Center is a crown jewel of the burgeoning 'City Center' space in western JoCo. Buttressed up against City Hall and the newest JoCo library branch, the Rec Center offers year-round enjoyment. Besides the opportunity for personal fitness, exercise classes, or just free play, the Rec Center offers a community space with loads of classes for all ages. You could even request to host parties or small events here, with staff at the ready to help you during your event. The indoor pool is a real draw, open year-round, save for maintenance windows. There are two indoor slides (the longest in the state), a 25M swim lane area, diving well, and a lazy river. The shallows are ultra-kid friendly, wading to low depths with sprinkles and splashes to boot! You can even find your way to the warm water wellness pool, kept at 90° and perfect for therapeutic relaxation. I'm spoiled because this spot is in my neighborhood, though you don't have to be a Lenexa resident to join. There are other places very similar scattered about town, but for the price, the value FAR exceeds the expectation. Covered parking, food amenities next door, shopping, and more are within steps. Come try Lenexa; I promise you'll love it.

I hope gardener realizes that there are boys who play volleyball that are trying to have fun for a cheap price. maybe instead of yelling at a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD. They could start a men's recreational volleyball league. Not to mention the amount of stress that could have been put on the coaches. Getting called at a royals baseball game With there child that was another male on the team. Gardener recreational center needs to seriously. Do something for the male gender that plays volleyball. There are club teams in the recreation league that no one even bats an eye for but when it comes to a 13 year old boy playing volleyball. you have to change the rules twice because "it's not safe." gardener you have issues.

This park is misnamed. Holcolm is more a sports complex. There is a gym with a weight room, a…read moremeeting room and a basketball court. They also have ping pong tables. This building is highly trafficked and is always buzzing. In addition to the gym, Holcolm houses several softball diamonds, a skateboard park, sand volleyball and several pavilions for meetings and grilling. Lawrence Parks and Recreation department also hosts classes here on occasion. I always think of this park differently than the other parks in town because of the sports aspect. During the spring and summer months this park is rocking. The softball diamonds are packed with people. Holcolm hosts a number of leagues and it's teaming with people. The facilities at Holcolm are always clean and well maintained. Staff does a great job at keeping this place running smoothly, too. Staff has always been nice and helpful. There are also several large lots so parking is a breeze. There are no metered parking spaces- it's all free. I am sure there is a fee for the softball leagues but there are no fees for the volleyball, basketball or weightlifting. This is quite an enjoyable venue. Lawrence is lucky to have this facility and grounds.

The location is right next to the Missouri River and has a gorgeous view. There is a lovely little porch with chairs and picnic tables. The center provides binoculars and books to help identify local birds. My daughter loves the huge fish tank display of native fish. She also enjoys the tortoises and the snakes in the Snake Room. They are almost always having a scavenger hunt for the kids with prizes. Personally, I enjoy browsing the reading material in the little store and have bought several books. There is a very detailed exhibit on the history of Saint Joseph which is really interesting. It includes details that I have not read about anywhere else. So if you enjoy history, you should definitely pay this place a visit.
