Nine months ago, we moved to west Plano and we now drive drive 45+ minutes to practice every weekday because Coach Xandra is an absolute gem! She is incredibly patient, thoughtful, kind, and dedicated. We have been a part of other swim teams, and Coach Xandra's enthusiasm and commitment to the team are superior to anything we have ever experienced. The assistant coaches are just as invested in creating a competitive, but above all fun, swim team with a wonderful sense of camaraderie. We feel so lucky to have found this team. Coach Xandra and the assistant coaches always provide parents with timely information and are extremely responsive to any questions. Practice is offered every weekday and breaks are coordinated with school holidays during the academic school year (in the summer, practice is held almost every weekday except for major holidays like July 4). The pool is very well maintained and we can't wait for the new developments coming to the Lake Highlands Y, including the new outdoor pool area. We also really love the Richardson Y outdoor pool that is used for swim team practices in the summer. Overall, this is an amazing team with a top-notch head coach, wonderful assistant coaches, and supportive parents and family. We can't wait for summer swim team season!

I have been a member at this particular location for a while, and with the YMCA since 1989…read more However, I ended my membership after my grandson was bullied by a group of pickleball members. He was playing in the gym before they arrived. After some time, he came out crying because one of the men took his ball and put it away. When I reported the incident, one of the male staff members apologized and retrieved the ball. While I was comforting my grandson, telling him he did nothing wrong and that adults shouldn't be selfish and treat a nine-year-old child that way, I told him to stay near me and continue playing. At that moment, an ignorant female staff member, who was passing by, interjected, saying, "You can't play with the ball in this area." This is the second incident involving her discriminatory behavior towards my family. As I was leaving, deeply disappointed by the behavior--especially since this is supposed to be a Christian establishment--I saw Joseph and informed him. He stated that she shouldn't have said anything to me, as the matter did not involve her. A few weeks after I left, I stopped by to file a formal complaint and asked to speak to Brian, the director or manager of this location. He showed no empathy and instead stated that children should not be left alone. I am 55 years old, a former teacher, and a current paralegal. I was intentionally monitoring my grandson while sitting directly outside the gym in the vending area. This place has changed from a family-friendly, community-oriented place to a worldly, non-family-friendly environment for minority families.

I was surprised by all that we were missing out on until we became UP residents and obtained a pool pass. You are likely to bump into other friends in the neighborhood here. The kiddie pool is shaded and nice. They have a water slide and two diving boards. The pools are clean and well maintained. They serve food, and though it's of 7-11 or frozen food quality, at least they're also not upcharging you for anything. They also provide towels and it's easy to book an area to host birthday parties or events.

The park is not that large by any means but it is nice to visit if you are near the area. It is next to an elementary school so you should be aware of the times and hours you visit.
