I have been coming here since I was a kid. I love the upgrades they have done. They have tables…read morewith individual shade covering on them which is nice and still lots of trees for shade on one side. I did go on a slow day that had rain and it was in the middle of the week. I was a lifeguard as a teen and definitely get how boring it can be with no one in your zone or on really slow days but there were guards not even watching the pool. The head guard did redirect once that I saw but I just decided to enjoy my time with my family and ignore that. The pool was pretty clean and the grounds didn't have much trash but the bathroom was horrendous. The urine smell hits before you even get in the door. Made me scared to even use the bathroom. Other than the lifeguards not really paying attention when no one was int their zone and the bathrooms we still had a great time. There was plenty of parking, we were able to take our own drinks and food, and enjoyed the pool.

Great pool for the Village Grove community. Spacious swimming area and plenty of seating. The…read morechildren's pool has a neat water spouting toy that always entertains our niece. There used to be a diving board, but it has recently been replaced with 3 different styles of water slides which are pretty fun to go down even for adults. There's a patio in front that can be rented out for parties with two full grills, basketball and baseball areas, and a nice sized shaded playground also. Overall a great area with plenty to do.

This is a great little spot for a quick swim. Every time I've visited, it has never felt…read moreovercrowded, which makes for a much more relaxing experience. It's especially family-friendly, with a splash pad and water slide that younger kids will love. About half of the lap pool is reserved for older children and adults, and there are also dedicated lanes for lap swimmers. The locker rooms and pool areas are consistently clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend it for locals looking to enjoy the water without dealing with the crowds of tourists that often pack the beaches.

Very very Fucked up i took my grand baby to the pool for my niece birthday and they took my money…read moreoff my card and made us get out the pool I wasn't there no longer than 5 or 10minutes so I asked for the manager and when she came out I told her I wanted a refund so she told me no and me and the manager go into an argument so she called the police on me so the public from Galveston county do not bring your kids to the water park they are taking people money and putting you out..

Nice place to take the kids…read more The splash pad has several benches around it. There's a tent area w a couple of tables, could be used for a party. There's swings and a playground area also for those that wanna stay dry. Public restroom available!

Long story short, all the basic machines and freeweights you need to train are here. I've been…read moreusing this gym for 3.5 years and it's definitely not Lifetime Fitness, but it gets the job done. It's also conveniently placed on the UTMB campus next to the Jennie Sealy hospital. The weightlifter necessities: - 2 conventional squat racks - 1 multifunctional Crossfit setup (with 2 squat racks) - 2 multifunctional cable setups - 1 leg press - 3 bench presses - 4 standard benches (2 adjustable, 2 flat) - 1 standard seat - dumbbells up to 100 lbs - preweighted straight barbells up to 100 lbs - loadable EZ bar - 2 stairmasters And most of the usual accessory machines (seated/standing calf raise, row, hip abductor/adductor, hamstring curl, quad curl, pec and delt fly) Huge number of treadmill and bicycle variants. Decent spacious rooms with showers. There is a room with woodgrain flooring and mats, but you're not allowed to enter if there is a planned activity (usually dance classes on 6PM weekdays). There is a full basketball court, but be aware that sometimes it's reserved for volleyball (T/Th 7pm) and soccer (Friday evening, not sure about time). Throughout the year, there are several reservations for IM games as well including basketball, volleyball, and dodgeball. This place is PACKED on Mondays 5-6PM. Gets progressively more empty as the weekdays continue, and on weekends you should have very little problem using the equipment you want. If you don't like coming to the gym at a busy time, avoid 4:30-6:30PM. Overall solid gym, but the only reason to get a membership here is out of convenience of location (close to UTMB, or maybe your partner works at UTMB).

I come to this gym all the time and it's always very clean and the front desk is very nice. They…read morehave a great amount of machines though it does get quite crowded at around 5-7pm. I love that they have a separate room for classes like spin and zumba but do wish they offered more group classes throughout the day. I personally use the treadmills and the free weights the most and pretty much all their equipment is new. If anything doesn't work they have it up and running fast too. There is a spacious locker room, though I believe you have to pay to get a locker for yourself for the year.

We've taken both our boys to Emler at a young age and had fantastic experiences with both. The…read moreteachers are very attentive, managers take advice ti heart and act quickly, and the facility itself is well maintained. Make sure to check your email before heading over every time as they have infrequent closures due to all the infrastructure it takes to run a pool full of kids at this temperature for this long, but honestly I can't judge them for it all things considered. We've only really done water babies and aqua tots, but the older swim classes look very serious and the kids have all seemed like great swimmers!

Miss Hannah is his current teacher and she is so kind and patient with all the kids and Jackson loves getting to see her each week! We highly recommend Emler to everyone as water safety is so important!

Solid place to boulder. Been coming here for around a year or so and enjoy climbing here…read morePros: -By far the most inexpensive gym to climb at. I have my own gear so 9 dollars to climb all day is well worth it -They started setting routes much more often, got TONS of new holds, and have switched to having there routes all the same color holds -not a ton of people climb here! Of course the weekend has the occasional party with lots of kids but you get to know most of the people that climb during the week. -the owner Dwight! Other people may say different but I've had nothing but great interactions with him since day 1. He's always been kind and respectful and chatty when I go. -the fact it's not in the middle of Houston. Some of the traffic at 5 around the mall can be a little rough but other than that, a MUCH better option than dealing with driving through rush hours. Cons: -not a ton of variety in top rope. Doesn't get changed NEAR enough. Bouldering has hugely improved but the top rope gets changed once a year it seems. After bouldering, would be nice to have some new top rope routes to burn out on. - this is kind of a pro and a con I guess. It's kind of a dingy gym. It's like the garage gym equivalent of a rock gym. So it's a little dark, smells like sweat and looks a little run down. However, I don't care about looks or smells, I'm gunna get sweaty anyways. So although I can get a killer climb in, some people may not think it's aesthetically pleasing All in all, I love climbing here. Could get more attention to the top rope, but for 9 bucks, suck it up and get better at climbing so all the routes open up for you.

The routes were trash. Very basic and easy. The harder ones weren't set well and it was very small…read moreand poorly lit. If you're an experienced climber I wouldn't bother going here. If you're a beginner it might be good to learn. I'm sure it's good for kids, but not if you're an experienced climber. I will say the rental shoes were pretty good. But they gave me a near empty chalk bag. All around would not recommend unless you are a beginner.
