Awesome aquatic center on the west side that might be overlooked…read more Came Out on a Thursday afternoon 1:00pm and stayed till 4:00 and it was not packed!!! Great size pool for young kids and then transitions to a deeper pool in the middle. I enjoyed this pool as it was not that large as Valley View near Jordan Creek. No lazy River. Three giant slides are the highlight. Diving board and a drop slide. Overall it was a cool pool and highly recommend visiting if you want a smaller setting.

Found a pool this Summa!!!!…read more Review during COVID19: Birdland pool is like a hidden gem for Central Des Moines this summer! Never been here before but we've been here twice now. No FRILLS pool. They have 1 slide and 3 diving boards. A wading pool that goes 2.5'; very large size too. The pool is clean water and the environment is clean. The price is great too! $2.00 for kids; $4.00 for adult. Free for 3 and under. People around us do not wear masks. There are different ethnic families that live near and visit this pool. They play very loud music. A different variety but I think they play most recent rap and hip hop the most. Staff here is great! They also have two local officers inside the pool to keep things safe. The pool is located by North High school so that's probably why they have officers; it's a little rough neighborhood. The two times we visited we have watched the pool capacity website before arriving. This pool stays under the capacity limit every day and have found it to be very compliant to COVID social distancing regulations. The staff wipe surfaces every hour. At the end of the swim session they are cleaning everything immediately. They also wear masks when they are around people. There's a snack bar open but we've never visited. The water slide is the highlight of the visit for the kids. Young jumpers must go through a swim test before allowed on the diving boards. I recommend visiting this pool this summer. I'm not too sure during any other year as they may be a lot more full but I've enjoyed our visits so far. We will be returning more this summer as we feel safe coming here and seeing how the staff and the people around us are abiding to social distancing rules.

They were extremely knowledgeable and made this experience easy from the selection process through delivery, installation, pool school and beyond. We had one issue and they took care of it immediately - better than we expected them to! After a horrible experience our first time trying to get a pool with another company - we're so glad we had them do our pool (we only wish we found them 5 years ago)! We would highly recommend Premier Pools & Spas!

There is a great shelter area that is perfect for get together's. There is plenty of space for tables and a grill. It was a great place for my husband's work picnic! The shade helped to fend off the heat of the day. Other features of the park are a basketball court and disc golf course. There is a nice sized parking lot and plenty of walking trails. This is a great location for enjoying the nice weather and some outdoor fun.

My personal trainer, Sammy, has been outstanding to work with. She takes the time to really understand your goals and tailors a program to meet them. Membership rates are very reasonable. I literally have three large healthclubs and several specialized gyms within a few miles of my home but I choose to drive out of my way to come here because I enjoy the equipment and staff so much.

The outdoor pool is great for our son in the summer months. We can take him there for an hour or two and not feel like we have to stay all day like when we pay to go to a public pool. The facility and equipment is very well maintained. I've only done a few workout classes here including HIIT, kickboxing and yoga, but all were good. The kids area is very clean and staff are pleasant and attentive.

We just fired Chris from our project yesterday, with the pool incomplete. We are going on three months, and he continues to lie about having product that was paid in full in November 2019. As things started to unravel and the last several weeks, I started calling manufacturers and suppliers that he said he couldn't get invoices from for the "ordered" product, and nothing had been ordered (again, paid for in full in November). I had to order concrete myself and pay for it last week to get the deck poured and asked his guys directly to finish it. He then asked for us to also pay him for the concrete when I had already directly to the company. He starts projects to get your down payment and then doesn't finish. He also totally destroyed our yard, so on top of not getting the pool done, not ordering parts we paid for, we now have to pay a company to come in and regrade and resod. Please feel free to reach out to me, but I even had many people on his team talking me through what was going on as they started to see it - so PLEASE save yourself, and do not use this company. I don't want you to have the heartache and stress that we have had! He will take your money, lie and then play the victim. It has been unreal. So again, Please do not hire!!
