Is it reasonable to officially display a price of $10 per adult and $5 per child, but upon arrival…read morebe charged $20 per adult and $10 per child with no explanation, when the prices are published on an official government website? It can feel misleading or confusing for visitors. Public pool? Technically, it is a public facility, but in practice it does not always feel that way. For residents, the fee is $10 per adult and $5 per child, while for non-residents it is $20 per adult and $10 per child. This is already on the higher end of what is traditionally expected from a municipal pool. In addition, the city website is not always updated with the most current pricing. Olympic pool? Yes, in terms of structure and size, but it does not include a diving area, so it is limited in that sense. Heated water? That statement can be misleading depending on the season, as the water is not consistently heated year-round. We are in April, and the water feels extremely cold, almost like "ice water." I have been coming here for several years, and this is the first time we have felt that some younger staff members are interacting with children in a more strict or tense manner; this was not the case before. There are also private hotel pools and small water parks that charge around $15-$20, and many times they feel more relaxed and accessible. This raises a valid question about value and accessibility in comparison. It also gives the impression that there is a gradual shift toward prioritizing residents (despite significant price increases for them as well) or increasing overall costs, which raises concerns about long-term accessibility for non-residents. At the same time, these facilities are publicly funded through taxpayer money, including contributions from Miami-Dade County, and entry fees are intended to help cover operational and maintenance costs. Overall, this is a matter of balance: public infrastructure is supported by taxpayers, but users also expect fair pricing, transparency, and a clear value in return. I hope these facilities do not evolve into spaces that feel similar to private venues, as that could create an unfair competitive disadvantage for private businesses in the same category.

Fun place! They have several different pool areas that are partitioned off, such as swim lanes for…read morelaps, an area for the slide and a shallower section for children. If you are a resident, the cost is just $5, but know that it is CASH ONLY unless you spend more than $10. They also have a lot of cheap community swim classes, including aqua aerobics, and times for just swim lane/swim laps. There are plenty of lawn chairs, even on the weekend, and the staff are helpful. Pool feels clean, the area is similarly clean. I did NOT go into the bathroom so cannot comment on those facilities. Plenty of free parking on the premise, and during the busier season (summer, I believe?) it looked like there were concessions and the slide would be open. All in all, I have spent several pleasant afternoons here when I did not have to work or got out early.

Great teachers! I liked the indoor swimming pool!read more

Do not share your credit card with this company. First of all, the classes are the exact same EVERY…read moretime you take your child so they don't really learn anything and become bored of the same routine. Additionally, they have you sign up with a credit card which they charge monthly. What they don't openly advertise is that you must provide 30 days written notice to end services. Of course, nobody answers the phone, so you do it with an automatic service on their app. And I recommend to screen shot it as evidence. Because they charge you the following month, and then a second month if you're not careful. And then claim the system "did not notify them." With evidence they returned the unauthorized month charged. However, despite not using their services since April, today (June 20th) they charged my account 10$ for a "donation" I neither made nor authorized. These are fraudulent business practices and theft - so if you're in the same situation report their business or sue them. And if you've yet to use them, save yourself the headache and do not use them.

My son loves coming here for the basketball court...there's almost always pickup games going on. There's a small juice bar and this one makes an amazing peanut butter smoothie. There's also plenty of free weights and machines on the ground floor. The ambience is very chill on the weekends, and having mission BBQ and wild fork next door is great to get stuff after a workout.
