Best recreation center in SLO. It opened up 2012 with student feedback, and it has everything you…read moreneed for a good price. The rec center is included with student fees, and it's about $40-$50 for alumni/staff/faculty, which is a great price for what it offers and what other gyms don't offer/their prices. This rec center has 3 workout spaces with free weights and machines, an outdoor lap pool and leisure pool (includes whirlpool, basketball hoops in pool), 3 studios for classes that are included (hip hop cardio, Pilates, 6-pack abs, body pump, breakaway (form of spin), etc.), an indoor basketball court, volleyball courts, sand volleyball courts outside and BBQ pits. I love that I rarely ever wait for a machine or free weights, and I can save my spot for a class a day before.

This is the nicest gym in SLO. If you are a student or alumni you have the opportunity to get a…read moremembership. I am so in love with this gym that after I graduated Cal Poly I keep paying for the membership. It is pretty comparable to other gyms in the area and totally worth it. The staff keep the areas clean and are always wiping down the machines. There are 3 main areas to work out in (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, weights, etc.). You can take all of the classes with your membership like yoga, spin, and more. The gym offers other amenities like a basketball court, racquetball courts, pools outside, and nice locker rooms with showers. Since there are so many things to do, there are usually a lot of people! The best time to go is really early in the morning (students are usually still sleeping). The only downside to the Rec Center is parking...if you do not have a student parking pass, it is extremely difficult to find parking. You either have to pay for a daily pass or roam the streets for free 2-hour parking. I wish the membership included a parking pass! Overall I love this gym and will continue to purchase a membership!

When we arrived at this spacious park that runs along South Street, we immediately knew where the party was! The colorful inflated and tied down obstacle course looked like a landlocked yacht with children hanging off every corner! Two large long picnic tables covered with pizza, fruit, and cupcakes provided both shady and sunny seating near the giant obstacle course. It was fun to see the kids, aged five to eleven all running around this exercise-disguised-as-fun contraption! The adults could relax at the tables, yet keep an eye on the kids. In the background a group conducted a spirited basketball game, while a large group of women attended a different event. People strolled by walking their dogs, or just enjoying the sunshine. We all remembered a previous birthday we had luckily reserved the party room, and were lucky because that time it rained and sleeted, but we still had fun! Nice central location in SLO, be sure to reserve ahead.

I'm a visitor at this gym so my perspective of from the view of a guest. I visited this gym 16…read moreplus years ago and had great memories. I called this time while visiting and found the guest fees were $25. I think its a little high in my opinion so it caused us to work out elsewhere in the next 2 days. The downstairs gym area has changed tremendously. I didn't use it nor am I very familiar with crossfit, so I didn't review the gym based on that. The upstairs is laid out about as good as any gym I've even been to. It's clear a bodybuilder set this up and thought about all the small details. The chest presses generally face the mirror and don't allow anyone to walk in front. The heavier dumbbells have a solo rack at waist high. Cardio machines face away from the weights. All genius. Overall, I only mark down the gym for value due to the high guest fee. Overall, if I were a local, I'd be a member and it would be a 5 star.

I am wondering if the city of SLO is aware exactly how loud the music is that's played at this…read morepool. As I write this I'm in my home (I live across the creek on the opposite side of Southwood Drive) with all windows shut and very clearly hear it, from a distance of 300 ft. I mentioned the distance because the city's own noise ordinance states, in pertinent part: "Between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., it is a violation to make or allow noise that can be heard 50 feet from your property line." My residence is five times the distance spelled out in the ordinance. However, I walked back through my complex to see how far the noise was audible. I stood at the basketball court fence adjacent to my property - a distance of 500 ft, 10 times the distance in the city's ordinance - and the music is still audible. Now, I'm familiar with the concept of due diligence when looking for a new place to stay, and I did research this neighborhood before moving here. I was aware I would next to two parks, a school, and a baseball stadium. I have no problem with the noise from the ball games, school etc. as it's unavoidable but the pool music is not. Further, I couldn't have conceived of a scenario where I would regularly be subjected to loud music from a city ran facility, in violation of their own noise ordinance. Again, I'm giving the city the benefit of the doubt, in good faith, and assuming they're unaware of this. I feel a lot of it has to do with the placement of whatever speaker(s) the music is played over. Thus, a possible solution would be to arrange the speakers so they face away from the complexes on the other side of the street. They could still face the pool, and the hill/elementary chool on the other side of the pool would largely blunt the music from traveling to the residences on Augusta. I'm really hoping to hear back from someone with the city in regards to this.

I was able to book a reservation via phone/text although it took a few days for them to get back to me. The horses were all very gentle and well-trained, so it was great for beginners like us. The trail was very peaceful, with a little bit of up and downhill slopes. The ride itself was a little less than an hour and our trail guides were super friendly, checking in on us often and making sure we stayed in a line. The only thing is I wish they gave us some time at the end to take photos of us while we were on the horses but it's okay; we were able to take photos with the horses after we got off. Overall, it was a wonderful horseback riding experience for the price ($75/person) and I already want to go again!

That actually worked out because my daughter and I were able to check the park out ahead of time. When we returned on Sunday with my nephew, both kids were completely enamored. My brother and sister-in-law were just as impressed--the park is truly amazing. It's not overly crowded, feels very safe, and there's plenty of parking. We brought our own snacks and enjoyed a little picnic, which made the day even better. The weather was beautiful, and we already can't wait to return. This will definitely be our go-to park whenever we have the time. Absolutely love this place.

Several large enclosed slides which are great for hotter days. There's a fun hill you can slide down on cardboard boxes as well as a small zip line. There's a number of benches and tables for adults to sit. Some are in the shade while others are not. There's some beautiful redwood trees on the periphery of the playground to do a nice picnic under. Parking lot is shared with a pool but there's plenty of space as long as there's no baseball game. There's also tennis courts next to the playground. The playground was redone in 2017 but it's held up pretty well. Overall very enjoyable place to bring kids with lots to keep them busy for a few hours of outdoor fun!
