Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

Outdoor pool My kids…read moreloved it! I have been to splashzone for years and this was my first time utilizing the outdoor pool. It costs $8 per person no matter the age. We had three young children with us. You enter through the main pool area and walk to your right out a set of doors. There is a large pool area that is sectioned off for different uses. There is a gradual entry area with a water playground for kids, this is connected to the main part of the pool that gets about 5 feet deep. There are 2 slides that you have to be 48 inches to ride. The lifeguards have a break for 15 minutes after 45 minutes of swimming. All kids have to get out of the water. While waiting there are lots of lounge chairs, a snack shack offer ice cream, hot dogs, pretzels, etc. along with a playground and swing area for the kids. There are also two indoor areas you can take the kids to play with the frog pool for younger kids and the indoor water playground.

Nice little amenity for those who live in that area to have access to.

But we were told we had "6 complaints about us" and also that our outfits were inappropriate (we had on a basketball jersey and basketball shorts.) It was clearly a racial issue, and that was very obvious. Very sad that we had to deal with being treated that way at a recreational center.

We started back last week and we spoke with a young lady, Heidi, who was such a big help. And very pleasant. Everything is so organized and it is spotless there. Even the restrooms.

(I think the 20-1 male to female ratio in the weight room helps this) I've also played indoor Ultimate Frisbee on their new turf field and was surprised by how nice it was. I typically hate playing outdoor games inside, but it was actually spacious enough to get a decent run in. I used to work out here twice a day before and after school and part of the reason was because the locker rooms were so well stocked. I could shower, shave and get ready for my day without needing to bring anything but a change of clothes to the gym. Also, that "fat shaker" machine is fantaaastic. You simply Must try it.

I have been coming all the way out to this location for many, many, MANY years; my parents' local…read morefolk dance group has a tradition of reserving the grounds, spending the weekend in the cabins and using the enormous, hollowed out barn for dancing. And there's a lot to talk about when it comes to this location, with its beautiful rolling hills and rustic facilities, which are growing more and more popular as people find out it exists and that they can rent it for various lengths of time. Here's my thoughts on the various aspects of this location and property: -The general location: This place is located in beautiful Pennsylvania countryside; absolutely a lovely place to spend a weekend! -The barn: The barn is probably the main reason the local folk dance group keeps coming on out; it's been "hollowed" so that there's no stalls or anything inside, providing lots of space for tables - which we set for dinner - as well as for dancing in a very large group. A fridge, sink and "bar" area are in the corner for people to use, too. -The cabins: The cabins - I believe there's around 50, maybe more of them on the grounds - are about as good as you can expect. They're wooden with linoleum floors - i.e. COLD. The showers aren't amazing but are functional, and the beds...not the most comfy thing ever, not going to lie. If you have a bad back, I'm sorry: the beds are not going to help it. If you have kids and you rent a cabin ask about the ones with bunk beds. -The lake: There's a beautiful lake here that is worth strolling alongside when the sun is out; in recent years management has even added a little plaza, presumably because more and more weddings are being booked here. It's a beautiful place to just sit and relax. -The playground: There is indeed a playground, although I remember it before the equipment was all replaced with plastic. I'm sure kids'll love it; I personally miss the old set-up, although I love that the basketball and volleyball court are still there. -The main building: Finally, there's a main building which I have not been in for a long time - the folk dance group just reserves the barn now - but I remember being a pretty cool place to hang out. There used to be a pool room and a swimming pool up there as well, but I don't know if they're still there. Definitely a nice place to look into for indoor/outdoor events, although since this is Pennsylvania countryside sometimes the weather just will not cooperate with your plans - it happens. The cabins aren't phenomenal but this place does have a nice rustic feel to it, so if you think that's what you want, check it out and book something quickly - it's amazing just how popular this spot in the middle of nowhere is becoming!
