Visiting for a week and the staff kindly helped…read moreus set up a family membership for the duration of our stay. $55 for one person and $110 for our family of 4. Was it expensive? Sure. But without access to a pool at the rental home we were in and with a gym rat pair of teens, we needed an option nearby that would give everyone what they needed. Both indoor and outdoor pools were excellent. Thanks to Sports Center for offering such an option. Avoid immediate after school hours if you are looking for outdoor swim time. Lots of teens there for swim team so much of the pool is taken. Also should be avoided at that time during the school year because the traffic is a DISASTER en route due to two schools letting out at exactly the same time. It was a mess.

Other reviews are true that the facility is clean and equipment is good. However, I'm surprised…read morethat no one else has commented about the talk of the gym among members who use this gym during hours following the release of school. On weekdays after 3:30, it is oftentimes difficult to get a workout completed in a timely manner when many users are sitting on equipment playing on their phones. Would love to know what staff plans to do to manage this.

Again I can say this park is for all humans and beautiful animals. But as of yesterday like I…read morepredicted there was animal attack I don't know the full story yet, but they have a training dog school ppl with big dogs and the trainers are not logical trainers. Dogs need there space not to be in the middle of an active field with small dogs, ppl, children. That's a bad connection. The trainers bring dogs that have no control of their senses to a family park in an open space. Park department should not allow this. My dad trained German shepherd , Doberman and he trained them indoor until they were well trained and obedience. If they continue to get complains the park department may listen. I don't know why they are not investigating yet. I would hate to have find another park for my pup because of safety.

Wa Foster Recreation Center please train your employees on customer service! They way we were…read moretreated today was uncalled for. 1. Dirty kitchen, 5 opened pizza boxes in the oven, Food on counter, refrigerator full of their personal things and just filthy, microwave and Ovens looks like it haven't been cleaned all year long. We reserved this facility months in advance. You knew we would be there today. Why do we have to spend 45 mins cleaning what should already be cleaned? 2. Who wants to have an event where a complete stranger (Mr Lee)keeps walking in and out? Going through the refrigerator, making plates to eat right after rudely telling the kitchen staff that they need to shut down the kitchen? 3. Mr Lee has got to be the most unprofessional employee I have ever encountered. Reunion ends at 4. It's 3:25 We playing our family game and he comes in and rudely shouts ITS OVER, CLOSE IT DOWN! After being told by a family member that we were wrapping up and will be out by 4! Even tho we were delayed by up to 45 minutes because of y'all negligence! 4. Mr Lee approached an older family member in the hallway saying "YOU MEN NEED TO TAKE ALL THIS TRASH OUT" Sir if you don't sit down somewhere. There's a way to talk to people. One thing for certain and two things for sure The Powell Starkey Family will NEVER do business with y'all again! And I hope everybody that wants to patronize your facility reads this post so they know what to expect.

I frequent here because of the gym. The membership is more than affordable (almost a steal), and the center is always well maintained. The gym isn't the biggest or fanciest, but it has everything you need to keep in shape. The rec center also offers a myriad of athletic programs (basketball, softball, soccer, etc.) for both the younger ones and the not-so-young. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Yes it is tucked in back behind the big building and right behind the kids playground. Can you walk across this little wooden bridge and voila there's the dog park!

There are a few agility items spaced all around and the ground covering is just normal natural ground covering. You just have to walk around the building!!

They have a calendar that shows open times but when you show up the place is closed or courts unavailable. This place is a disgrace to the community if you cannot allow the community to use it outside of pickelball. I hope more people bring their friends, children, relatives to this place and try and utilize the basketball courts. The director should be ashamed of himself for creating a schedule that diminishes the opportunity for the public to use the basketball courts. Everytime you show up the courts are unavailable. Replace the executive staff with people that are in tune with the community. I wish I could give them less than a zero star.
