I love the Kettering Rec Center! That place made my whole childhood and early teenage life THE…read moreplace to be kids. I feel it allows kids to try something/sport they may want to pursue as a lifelong dream but wouldn't know where to start. Basketball, Running, swimming, pickleball, volleyball, ice skating, ice hockey, and a lot more but I'm sure I've forgot. Just such a great place for the whole family to go. Who else misses when the middle school mascot was a wildcat?

This rec center is an absolute beast. As someone who loves to work out at recreation centers and…read morehas been to many throughout her life, this one takes the cake as one of the cleanest, most modern, and largest. It has an indoor fitness pool, an outdoor pool (looks like mostly designed for families with kids), an ice skating rink, a huge weight lifting and cardio machine area, multiple group fitness rooms, and a full-sized basketball court (that they use temporary drapes to turn into multiple courts for pickelball or pick-up basketball). There's probably more I'm missing. I've never actually walked through the entire place. They have a ton of community and fitness programming for the area. From 8 to noon then 4 to 9 most evenings, they have different fitness classes going on. They aren't just your basics either. They have enough TRX bands to support TRX classes or some of their strength-based classes use workout areas they've had installed. They have lots of spinning bikes and classes the support them. I've never actually encountered any machine or part of the fitness center that didn't work. Everything is well-maintained, and I've never even encountered an empty cleaning spray bottle before. The biggest "issue" I've had is when the water tastes a bit off because the red-light says the filter needs to be replaced on the water fountain. Prices aren't cheap, but they aren't expensive either. When a yoga class elsewhere will cost me $40, it's only $11 here at Kettering. If you get one of their multi-class passes or a membership, it's even cheaper on a per-class basis. They have lots of kids camps and kids activities including some homeschooling group play classes and more. I haven't paid much attention to the kid things, but I know they have some! Great spread of bodies and ages here too. You'll mostly see older adults, and it's really refreshing to see a ton of different types of people instead of the college-aged adults. Everyone here is super friendly, and it's clear a lot of the community uses this place as a great place to see and hang out with friends while staying active. Huge parking lot, but if there's a lot going on (like a kid's hockey meet), there have been a few times I've been unable to find a single parking spot in this beast of a parking lot. Bathrooms are clean too.

I do find the pricing to be expensive, but for a once and awhile visit it's not bad.

Pros * Floors and play areas looked spotless. * Plenty of open space for the kids to run around. Cons * The owners/staff felt downright passive-aggressive from the moment we walked in. Zero warm welcome--just rules barked at us. * Mandatory socks policy. My kids and I were barefoot, and instead of offering a workaround, they insisted I buy socks on the spot. Felt like an unnecessary upsell for a "junk" fee since the kids never actually touch the floor. *It's tedious and honestly pretty silly. * Adults must fill out a full waiver even if you're only sitting and supervising no exceptions. Bottom line: The facility itself is fine, but the vibe from the staff ruins it. If you do decide to come, bring your own socks and be prepared for extra hoops. Otherwise, there are friendlier play spots out there.

Great size where parents of all sizes can play with their children and you don't have to pay for the parents to play with the kid. Nice that you can leave and return in the same day because their snack prices are expensive. 1.25 for the tiny bag of chips, $3 for a tiny bag of gummy bears. Staff went out of their way to cheer kids up too. Free dum dums, playing with them, and bringing out the Dino. Honestly happiest place for kids in Dayton.

There is a separate building from Skateworld where you can choose which course you want to play and pick up your golf club and golf ball. Prices are $10 per person for one golf course or $15 per person if you want to play both 18-hole courses. Senior prices are $8 and military is free. Kids are free also. Most holes are two par and a few are three par. The courses do involve a little walking but it isn't too extreme. It's of varied terrain. There is some walking up and down. These are not flat courses. My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun playing. It's an outdoorsy almost foresty feel and can be a bit challenging if you're not a regular player. But it is a ton of fun. My girlfriend and I had so much fun, neither one of us thought to snap any pictures photos, but it was a lot of fun for a fair price. There's even a waterfall and I believe they offer nighttime golfing in the summer. I highly recommend. It's a lot of fun and family oriented. Staff is friendly and helpful!

Orchardly Park is an excellent park for kids of all ages!

I took an almost one-year-old baby here today. It is only street parking, but there were plenty of spots. The park has many trees, so there were spots of shade for us to rest. Many kids were playing at the park! But we played in the sand and used one of the many baby swings! This park is so much fun for kids of all ages! I brought a baby that's walking with assistance, and she had a blast! Other kids seemed to love running around and then cooling off in the splash pad. Highly recommend going here with your kiddos to get out of the house!

This is understandable but the flow is off... there's a sign for two lines but there's only one sliding door so it doesn't actually create two lines. I think the issue here is customer service.

Vending machines are cash only. Arcade games all work well!

Well about halfway through of us all jumping around, said employee had on outside shoes on the trampolines, just about every single one in the main part AFTER cleaning it. Then proceeded to full speed throw a football with another employee across the entire length of the trampolines and about hit my child, then laughed it off and gave a halfassed sorry on their way passing me. Honestly just really disgusted at having outside shoes where children are putting every part of their body on. As well as the rude cavalier attitude about throwing footballs as full force where kids could've gotten hurt. Won't be wasting my money here again, may as well go to sky zone.

What I found was a pleasant park, even i winter, with a couple of football fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, a playground, and a walking trail. I was there for the walking trail, which is a -0.8 mile loop that followed the perimeter of the park. It's paved with asphalt, so it's a pretty good surface for walks during or after in lemony weather. Except for one corner of the park that does not drain well. This clearly is a favorite place for people in the neighborhood to walk their dogs. Overall a very pleasant place. Just not a place where you can take a walk in the woods. It's in a newer, nice neighborhood.
