Beautiful little park in the middle of Paradise, CA. Nice to see this little oasis survive the…read more"Camp Fire" that pretty much took out the town in 2018. We rented a handicap accessible picnic area for a family get together after a memorial for the matriarch of the family. There are geese and squirrels running about on the grounds. Nicely shaded trees. There is a public pool, but it happened to be closed on the day of our event. Great place to chill, have a picnic with friends and family. And nowadays, there is little reminder of that tragic event in 2018.

I was in town for a long weekend in Chico and was looking for a gym to drop into. Overall it was a…read moregood spot, here are some of my thoughts... Pros - Ample parking, free WiFi, huge locker rooms with an awesome steam room, free towel use, fairly well laid out with a good variety of equipment, high quality treadmills, indoor basketball court, a great pool & hot tub, onsite cafe and childcare, large group class areas, and day/week drop in options. Cons - Outdated decor, not many sanitation stations/wipes for equipment, benches in the weight area needed to be replaced, some of the equipment was pretty worn, and the front desk staff could have been more friendly. As a drop in, having never been there no one offered to give me a quick lay of the land. And I had to ask how the lockers worked after I got back to the locker room (obviously this is a thing because they had a sample locker door at the desk to instruct people on how to use them). Even having a map for visual upfront for someone to walk me through would be helpful. I'd visit this spot again, overall a good experience.

You can tell everything you need to know about a business by how it responds to negative reviews…read more And the way in which Chico Sports Club made false statements about me without knowing who I am, questioned my email handle as if I don't have a right to privacy, and then demanded that I had no right to say they were disrespectful, tells you everything you need to know about the character of this business. Poor character. Bad manners. Rude people. Bullies. Chico Sports Club is a poorly-owned and poorly-managed gym. Not sure why Chico Sports club cares what my email handle is. Also no threats were made, no intimidation, so that is a defamatory statement by Chico Sports Club, and they are subject to a lawsuit over making false statements in response to a review. And I have every right to say a business is disrespectful if they are disrespectful. That's called freedom of speech, and as a veteran of the Armed Forces, I will use my 1st Amendment Right to call out disrespectful businesses. Don't ever give these people a cent. They are unsound. My review was well-written and objective. Chico Sports Club's response was unhinged, insulting, and defensive of their bad behavior. The front desk staff and personal trainers are the only reason why this place is still in business. It certainly isn't because it is being run by a competent owner or managers. Every time I went, at least one machine I wanted to use was out of use, often times for long periods. Days, sometimes a week or more. Sometimes weeks. The steam room had issues on a few occasions. The banister in the exercise pool was broken for a long period of time. The main lap pool is shared with various groups, so the few lanes that are available, are being rented out to outside groups every day for several hours a day. They leave one or two lanes for the members I think. But that's not a lot when you have regular gym members using the pool and outside groups splitting about six lanes. The pool itself is in terrible condition. I don't think it's ever been redone. I often found things like bandaids, large bugs of various kinds, cement chips from the pool bottom. Etc. And, if you pushback against Chico Sports Club raising member prices and fees, they cancel your membership and blacklist you. Doesn't matter if you're a disabled veteran. Another 1st Class business in Chico. Chico Sports Club is disrespectful to disabled veterans.

I got a card in the mail from Pintail Pool Care and I gave them a call. He (wish I could remember…read morehis name) showed up right when he said he would and even text me 5-minutes before to let me know he was on his way. He looked at the problem I was having with my pump and system. He suggested how I could fix it and gave me the option of fixing it myself or having him come back to do the repair for me. He showed me what part I would need and even text the part to me so I could go get it and install myself. He was only there for about 10-minutes and when I tried to pay him, he said no charge because he was already in the neighborhood and it only took a few minutes. This is the type of service that deserves to be recognized! I've been running this pump 24 hours a day last year because I couldn't even get someone to show up to look at it. He came out and within a few minutes told me exactly what the problem was! All I can say is if you need any services for your pool, I would give Pintail Pool Care a call! They definitely exceeded my expectations!

Outstanding Value and Experience -- Hot Spring Hot Spot SX…read more I recently purchased the Hot Spring Spas Hot Spot SX, and after spending meaningful time with it, I can say it delivers exceptional value. Yes, there are spas on the market at lower price points, but the SX stands out because of its high‑quality construction, reliability, comfort, and impressive jet performance. It feels solid, thoughtfully engineered, and built to last. One of the first things I noticed is how quiet it is during heating cycles. When the jets are off, the spa operates with a soft, unobtrusive hum -- something I really appreciate during evening soaks. The seating layout is well‑designed, offering comfortable positions for different body types. The SX includes three distinct jet types, each with its own advantages, and together they create a versatile, satisfying hydrotherapy experience. I purchased my spa from Spa Brokers in Chico, and the dealer experience was excellent from start to finish. They offer a great environment for comparison shopping, including the ability to try out spas onsite. The sales approach was friendly, honest, and completely pressure‑free. I felt respected throughout the process, received straightforward advice, and was offered a fair price. Delivery and setup were smooth, and their customer service has been consistently responsive and helpful. Overall, the Hot Spot SX is a superior value backed by a top‑notch local dealer. Highly recommended.

We can't imagine living in Redding without our backyard pool. Premier Pools & Spas owners, Tim and…read moreChristy Hudson, were super from the very beginning, helping determine the design, answering what works and doesn't work, as well as advising about the finished surroundings. We swim almost every day during the season, especially as the sun dips low and the day cools a little. And, as you can see by the number of towels, our grandchildren love it too. Honestly, that's been worth the investment. It is the center point of our outdoor living when family shows up. During the 15 years since construction, the pool equipment, the construction methods, and options have changed, and the Hudsons regularly attend industry conferences to stay up with the latest. Just in the last month, we upgraded the controller unit, giving the ability to change settings and turn on and off the equipment remotely through an app on our phones, tablets, and computers. No pool runs forever without maintenance and repairs (especially over 15 years), and we've had to replace the pump, rebuild the Polaris cleaner, and call for emergency help after wildfire ash contaminated the water. It's essential to have a dependable company behind and alongside you as you enjoy your pool.
