It's such a great spot to burn summer energy and also practice water skills. I found the lifeguards to be really attentive and constantly counting the swimmers in their sections. My kids absolutely love the big and small waterslides and rode them about 20 times over the course of an hour or two. Even just a few days before the Fourth of July holiday, because we were there first thing, there were no lines, and things ran smoothly. I'm excited to check it out again, perhaps at a bit busier time, but it was great for our first visit.

My family's first visit and we enjoyed it as much as the kids did! Looking forward to returning.read more

Numerous elderly people come here to read books. The lifeguards spend a lot of time correcting children for behavior that doesn't have anything to do with safety. The lifeguards are pretty militant regarding social behavior. If you have lively children who aren't "perfect" don't come here as they will be reprimanded by the "military" style lifeguards.

You can never be shore how a neighborhood pool is going to be- do they actually take care of it or is it kind of just forgotten and left to the elements? Well, North Shore is definitely more cared for! No promises I'm done with the puns, but thanks for continuing to read! In my time in Reston I went to 2 RA pools and they were both super nice. I think this one was slightly better maintained, and it was the only one open before 4pm on weekdays (the hours can be kind of confusing). The main pool is a good size, and has some lap lanes. There's also a separate shallow kiddy pool and a separate hot tub! It's a great option if you want some sun and fresh air and to do something fun but closer to home. I'm shorely not kidding that I'd recommend this spot!

The pool here is Olympic size with a swim lane, a diving board and deep end of 9' I believe. Lifeguards (at least 4 at any time) are always on duty. They also have a kiddy pool which is great for kids under 2. The great thing about the pool is that it's Members Only or members guests. This helps to keep the riffraff out. On the same grounds as the pool is a rec room. This place is perfect for having parties, get-togethers, or reunions. There's even a bathroom in the rec room, so you don't have to go downstairs to use the shower area connected to the pool. There's also a kitchenette, and tables and chairs are already in the rec room. This room is available to members of the pool for a fee of around $200. There are also some tennis courts right next to the pool area. The tennis courts are great because they're fenced in. The fence looks like they are 8 to 10 feet high, so you don't really have to worry about balls leaving the court area. Next to the tennis court is an asphalt basketball court. I'm pretty sure it's a full court from the looks of it. Next to the basketball court is a nice jungle gym for kids to play on. The jungle gym area is mulched. This area contains swings for both young children, as well as infants and toddlers. It also has monkey bars, a couple of slides and a hamster tunnel for kids to crawl through. Near the jungle gym area is a dog waste repository. It also has a bag dispenser for animal waste. Parking in this place is pretty good most of the time. In the summertime you shouldn't have a problem finding a parking spot even at peak swimming hours. I will say however, that during swim team season parking can be at a premium during swim meets. Living in the neighborhood right next to the swimming pool, I've experienced firsthand people parking right on the street in front of my house and taking up my parking spot. People have gone as far as to also park in front of fire hydrants; the police actually patrol this neighborhood frequently and often hand out tickets when they see this. Overall this is a great area. It's great to take your kids out to the park and let them play on the jungle gym, there's also a walking path that winds through Runnymede Park, there's swimming in the summer, tennis, and just about anything you want here if you're an outdoors person.

Not sure about non walkers but I've seen other people bring babies in and it seems fine. They don't do diaper changes so they'll either call or physically find you if there's a bowel movement so I wasn't comfortable swimming but weights, walking or group classes seem fine. You can bring a snack (without peanuts) and drinks to make the transition easier. I guess I've seen some parents bring a meal like pizza. As others have said it's not as premium of an experience as Lifetime or Worldgate but it has a pleasant neighborly feel. Really wish the pool had a bigger leisure area for kids. It's mostly overrun by lap swimmers whenever I've visited.

I wish one of the YMCA's in Maryland had an indoor track (well, let me add, I haven't done a full…read moresearch, but the one's I've visited do not). It's small, but it's a good option on cold days when you'd rather NOT get on a treadmill. This is a pretty big Y! I was here to perform a PT test for some applicants. They allowed us to use their space, which is great. Kenny at the front desk was very helpful in pointing me to where I needed to be. The trainer was also very helpful in assisting us with dedicating one lane of the track to the applicants. I would love to work out here. I didn't do a full tour, but I never met a gym I didn't like! There was plenty of equipment and again, the indoor track is a plus. I saw women in what appeared to be an aerobics class and I must say, that room is huge! There's plenty of space for anybody who wants to join a class. It's also very bright and airy. I see that they also have childcare which is huge! I saw them playing outside. It appears to be a pretty spacious area. Some kids were down on the basketball court going through a workout. Too cute. But yeah, I'm a fan of the Y and this one looks pretty inviting.

Reston knows how to residential pool. That may have sounded confusing, but what I'm trying to say…read moreis that if you choose to go to a Reston Association pool it is for sure the right choice. They are nice, well maintained, and soo pleasant. I especially loved the setup of this Glade Pool. It has a decent sized free swim area, swimming lanes, a water slide, diving board, and even a hot tub (that was reallyyy awesome). Along with the pool there are some tennis courts, a park, and walking paths that are all considered a part of Glade. It's setup, man. I believe it is $10 for a visitors pass, or you can get a season pass and if you'd come a decent amount and are in the area the season pass is the way to go.

I came here for a party for the holidays hosted by my friends. As soon as you enter, you have a big indoor water park to the right. Straight ahead, you have a weight lifting gym thats on par with commercial gyms and to the left, a small climbing wall. A good amount of staff are here and they are friendly. Several walked by saying hello with smiles. Again, coming from MoCo, I was like "Maybe moving to Northern Virginia is worth the cost". The bathrooms are a bit outdated, but not a deal breaker. It is still relatively clean like the rest of the facilities. The kitchen to the community room that my friends rented out had a lot of appliances (4 air fryers) and a large oven for reheating. I thought that was pretty cool. Also, I saw two woks there. This threw me offguard honestly.
