I first began visiting the aquatic center for a swim lesson in June 2022. Since that time I have…read morevisited about half dozen times for open swim and additional lessons. The aquatic staff so far have all been very kind. The swim instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. Upkeep/cleanliness of the bathroom/locker facilities is as expected for a community pool: far from pristine, but not horribly disgusting. Of course, eveything is just going to be all wet plus kids tread in/out all day so go figure. The locker rooms are a pretty good size though with plenty of bathroom stalls and lockers (appears must bring own lock although I have not used the lockers). There are also private shower areas as well as the area to shower immediately before entering pool. I registered for Individual swim lessons online and there was also opt for group lessons. The lessons fill fast, but it is posted on the website regarding the rollout dates each month for upcoming swim lesson. There is also various opts for season passes for which I was able to register online, but also have to pay a small fee per visit as well. Only cash/check is accepted on site. Passes/lesson registration can also be obtained in-person at the Academy Rec Center next door. There are some adjacent covered picnic table areas (outside of the pool area). There is also plenty of seating around the pool as well. Open swim hours are daily, but limited to afternoon til early evening. Sufficient number of lifeguards have always been on duty when I have visited.

What you need to know:…read more You can bring in coolers and even a grill! Pack all the food and drinks you need. There is not a lunch spot here or (near here) to buy food from. There is tons of seating available, typically a four chair, table and umbrella set up. There are some tables kind of tucked away in pretty spots but these are all first come first serve so arrive early. This establishment is CASH ONLY. The water is not "pool clean". There is a lot of sand everywhere and the water looks more like lake water. CAREFUL!! Stairs, paths and walkways are NOT level, or the same size; watch your step. The place is a bit run down and I didn't notice any life guards. But nothing looked hazardous. There are plenty of entry and exit points into and out of the water. The shallow end is 9inches and the deep end is 9ft In the women's bathroom there was only one "changing stall" - such as it was - and two toilets that were working questionably. For little ones: They can hang out in the shallow end, or go down the assortment of little slides. The 16 month old with us had a fun time. For big kids/adults: There is a rope swing, a large slide and a volley ball net. The 17 and 21 year old with me had fun. 12 and under could probably spend all day here. (At $8-$11 a person that's not bad!). After a few hours the adult [kids] were bored and ready to go. I did the big slide a few times and it was fun. I could see us potentially going back. It did get quite crowded about 2pm when we were leaving.

We went on a Wednesday - I heard not the weekends are very busy. We had an absolutely wonderful…read moretime. Let me say, this is not a fancy place. The other reviewer is right, the chairs are plastic and somewhat flimsy, but we didn't go to sit down. The water park is relatively small (what you see in the pictures is the entirety of the place) and it feels a little bit like you're going back in time, but it was wonderful. My 3 year old and 5 year old loved the waterslides and playing in the water. The water was chilly but refreshing. Know before you go: Bring your own food/ drinks (no alchohol), they have bathrooms but no showers, bring sunscreen and don't expect a fancy water park. It's a quaint little place that is charming and fun.

It seems like Charlotte lacks nice public swimming pools, at least close to Center City. Therefore, I was excited to check out Charlotte Swim & Racquet Club. The pool area is all the things you'd want in a swimming opportunity - large, clean and plenty of amenities. Three cheers for the concession bar; not only is it shaded, but it's filled with options! Even though I was there during a holiday weekend, the staff was helpful and even a bit cheery. This was a huge feat considering how many excited children were running about. I didn't spend too much time checking out the courts, but from what I saw they looked very nicely kept. Here's hoping I get another invite to da club come summer!

I want to start off by saying that this review was originally intended for Broyhill Park only, not…read morethe pool. That said, I've been to the pool a few times, so I will touch on that, as well. I first learned of Broyhill Park through the Town of Blowing Rock's recent Instagram post highlighting the place. It looked beautiful on pictures, and it prompted me to want to want to take my dog on a walk there this beautiful, sunny, summer Monday morning. We have lived in Boone for 3 years and have found that we are still continuously finding new places to venture to and take walks. I Googled the address for Broyhill Park, I think it was 1504 Laurel Ln., and my GPS took me to the Blowing Rock equestrian center. I drove in circles looking for the park and even stopped off to ask several folks on the side of the road. No one happened to be from the area and therefore couldn't direct me to the location. Finally, just as I was about to leave, stumbled upon the park. It is right next to the Robbins Pool and across the street from the Glenn Burney trail access. Phew! This little park was cute and sweet and provided a calming, inviting atmosphere this morning for me to walk my dog and rest on the park bench. I would certainly recommend others consider take a stroll here. Regarding the pool: I think I went a total of 3 times last summer. Once for a child's birthday party and the other times with my own nieces and nephews. Anyone can use this pool, provided they pay the small fee required before entering. This fee varies for Blowing Rock residents vs. those who are not. Regardless, it isn't expensive. To me, too, it's certainly worth it given it is the only outdoor pool I am aware of in this area. I grew up in a town where outdoor pools are rampant and available in many neighborhoods, so this was my first experience attending a true community pool that required payment. That said, I really liked it. The kids love it, too! I believe the pool is heated, since the outdoor weather in the mountains is really scorching hot. 10/10 would recommend visiting the pool, the park, the nearby trail, and the town!

(I was kind of confused by the signs that indicated that no pets were allowed that were posted right beside the doggie bags for waste disposal?) There is a relatively short path around the small lake, more of a pond really. That makes it a perfect destination for people who want to enjoy the outdoors, but aren't sure of the weather or may have physical limitations to the more challenging hikes. There is also a community pool located across the street from the park and it looked fantastic. Not only did they have full lanes for swimming, but they had water slides and other splash park water features.

From the moment you step inside, you're transported -- we honestly forgot we were in Charlotte for a minute and felt like we were at a European spa. The steam room with eucalyptus and the thermal soak were my favorite elements -- pure bliss. Everything you need is thoughtfully provided: towels, robes, lockers, water, and hot tea are all complimentary, which makes the experience feel effortless and elevated. Kombucha is also available to purchase, which was a nice touch. When we visited, there were only a few other guests, so it felt quiet, calm, and wonderfully uncrowded. The front desk staff was warm and welcoming and took a few minutes to explain everything when we arrived, which we really appreciated. Such a fantastic addition to Charlotte. Highly recommend if you're looking to truly unwind and reset -- we'll definitely be back!

At first visit, it's more than a wellness experience, it's positioned to provide Charlotte a valuable wellness community and I am absolutely thrilled I snagged a legacy membership back in March. Details, details! Spa sessions are 2 hours here and you rotate through the facilities at your leisure. Men's and Women's locker rooms are available which include a private changing room and a private shower. Guests have access to individual lockers which open with wristbands provided on arrival. The lockers are large enough to store a work tote and shoes. The facilities themselves are impeccably curated from the exposed brick walls upon which the lights from the pools dance (going to be so beautiful at night), textured flooring to prevent slipping, to the gorgeous, elevated lounge furniture. A water station is set up with cups to stay hydrated. Various flavors of kombucha are on tap, which you can enjoy while relaxing in the thermal spa or lounge. Items they plan to introduce - herbal teas, matcha, and an outdoor lounge - which I think will be the perfect spot to read a book in the fall. Charlotte deserves this. That is all -
