    Drew B said it best-this is a great park with lots of different amenities. The only thing I think…read moreit might fall short on is parking. There is a dedicated lot, but on game nights when lots of people are out enjoying the nice summer evening, it can get full. But, hey, what a good problem to have! It's a terrific facility and I'm glad to see that it's getting used.

    As far as I'm concerned, there's not a better activity park in any city in the greater Salt Lake…read morevalley than that at Bingham Junction Park. For Midvale--with only 4 parks and some very small ones (that I've reviewed rather critically)--BJP is a masterwork. First, a call out to anyone living in the Riverwalk Homes, Cascades at Riverwalk, Winchester Estates .... or heck, anyone in Midvale or anywhere near Midvale: GO TO YOUR PARK. On the banks of the Jordan River on its east side and enveloped by homes and apartments on the other three, there is a stunningly empty park on an 80-degree late summer day. There's a gigantic open, grassy area perfect for play. It has hill with a pronounced mound at the top. It's a great vantage point to see the park--as well as the mountains and the whole valley. But it's not there by accident. Come winter time, it becomes a sledding hill. There's a bit of a techie design to the place with the circuit board/microchip design between the pavilion and the basketball courts. And, oh, yeah, the basketball courts! Six different hoops, all adjustable to regular height or slam-dunkable for those with non-existent jumping capabilities. If you're on a day like when I visited, you can play a full-court game on a high-quality hard court (donated by, and adorned with, the logo of the Utah Jazz). With the long steps by it, the area doubles as an amphitheater. Add to that a full-sized sunken baseball field, equipped with walls and lights for night games give it that real baseball park vibe. The covered play area is the perfect meshing of rope of all sizes ... a climber's dream. Add to this several table-benches and the cleanest park restroom Ive been in, and you've got the perfect place to take the family on just about any day. I know I'll be back!

    I tried to swing by on a Saturday just a few weeks ago, and this place was packed. Like, zero…read moreparking and people everywhere. Even in the time of COVID when parks are a better option, I noped out. So do take note that when sports are in season, it's full of kids and parents watching games. But today, I stopped by for just a few minutes and it was quiet. Lovely. Shade. The perfect early autumn day with sun high in the sky but temps a lovely weather, and just a few people out enjoying the vibrant green grass that's bounced back after a dry summer. I read my original review just now and the nostalgia came sweeping over me. I have almost no recollection of the incident I mentioned before, where my buddy and I played football with his crush and she threw a block. That same buddy is married to someone else and has four kids now, so apparently the block didn't garner the respect she had hoped for. But I do remember the scholf of my young childhood, being taken away to give my mother a bit of respite and dad coming up with a shoe-golf game that was both fun and free. Today I really took note of the park, and all it offers. There are tennis courts, with lights you can turn on to play after dusk. There are restrooms on the east and west side. And the big empty fields of my youth are now lined with huge mature trees and have been converted into baseball diamonds. There's even a halfcourt basketball hoop on the very east side and a small paved walking path that navigates the circumference of this long, skinny park. It's my favorite part of Sandy, especially down towards main. Sandy has become a strip-mall-and-suburbs-track-housing kind of place, and it's nice to see a bit of the old charm and character in these streets. What a wonderful little park and delightful spot to spend a few minutes this afternoon.

This was really common and disgusting. One toilet stand was unbelievably dirty for 3 weeks until someone cleaned it. I put up with it until they cranked up the water temperature to 84F which made it impossible to do serious lap swimming. The pool managers I spoke to about it were extremely rude. My notes about the smell of urine didn't seem to make any difference. The front desk people were nice but calling to ask them about the pool availability was useless as they would give me incorrect info. By comparison, the Gene Fullmer's Center where I went to for a year prior to DD was perfectly clean, only more crowded.

They have wall climbing which we didn't get to try since we arrived to have a couple of hours of swimming before closing. They have lap pools for adults and right size of toddler swim/play area and regular pool. There was a birthday party during our visit and the room was big. The restrooms/shower room looked spacious. We didn't have to use the shower or restroom. Entrance fee is not minimal and varies (kids, adult l, senior). No parking fee and with big parking space. .

    The Truth About Treehouse -- Read This Before You Join…read more Treehouse markets itself as the most "premium" gym in the Salt Lake Valley -- and for years, it truly was. With a premium price came premium amenities, instructors, and classes. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. Treehouse has changed drastically in recent years, especially within the last few months, and what used to be a top-tier experience now feels far from premium. Membership Costs & Contracts Be aware: the initiation fee is inconsistent and feels misleading. It often varies depending on who you speak with in member services. You can join month-to-month or commit to a full year, but if you choose the annual contract, you are locked in. No refunds are offered -- no matter the reason. If circumstances change, you're simply out of luck. Membership costs also increase each year, unless you were one of the early members "grandfathered in" at a lower rate. Many long-term members now pay significantly more each year for less value. Classes & Instructors Treehouse advertises over 50 weekly classes, but don't be fooled by the number -- not all of them are good. The best hours (7:30, 8:30, 9:30 AM) are competitive, and members often settle for mediocre classes because management refuses to replace underperforming instructors, even after repeated complaints. While there are still a few excellent classes and instructors, these classes are often full and there's not enough equipment to go around. Weight-training classes often run out of weights, gliders, or bands. Kettlebells are claimed long before class starts. Much of the equipment is damaged due to poor storage and lack of maintenance. Treehouse would benefit greatly from a class review system, allowing members to rate instructors and share feedback transparently. Management & Recent Changes In the past two months, Treehouse dismissed its Group Fitness Manager -- who was also one of the gym's most beloved and talented instructors. She taught over a dozen classes weekly and was a major reason many members stayed. Her removal has caused widespread frustration, and the classes replacing hers have been noticeably lower quality. Facilities & Sauna Misrepresentation Treehouse recently added a sauna in the women's locker room, but members should be aware that it is not a red light therapy sauna, despite what several member services staff claim during tours. The lights are simply red-colored bulbs and do not provide any of the proven benefits of true red light therapy. Additionally, the women's sauna temperature is consistently around 150°F, which is lukewarm at best. This defeats the purpose of a sauna and fails to provide its expected health benefits. I've personally requested that the temperature be increased to at least 200°F, but my request -- like many others -- has been ignored. Gym Etiquette & Environment Another persistent problem is gym etiquette -- particularly from members who "reserve" multiple machines for circuit training by leaving towels or personal items. With limited equipment, this creates tension and frustration for others trying to work out. Management has done little to address this issue. Leadership Concerns Management The biggest concern, however, lies with Treehouse's general manager, Erica. She consistently avoids member feedback and shows little concern for the gym or its community. Complaints go unanswered, problems remain unresolved, and her lack of involvement is noticeable. The gym's cleanliness, organization, and morale have all declined under her leadership. It's clear that Erica does not care about Treehouse or its members -- and the results show. Equipment is dusty, maintenance is inconsistent, and staff accountability appears low. Hiring practices also raise concerns of favoritism and nepotism, as roles often go to friends or acquaintances rather than qualified applicants. Overall: Treehouse still has potential -- the facility is beautiful, and a few instructors are outstanding. But poor management, declining quality, and rising costs have stripped away what once made it a premium gym. I would strongly recommend delaying becoming a member until Erica is replaced as manager, and classes are reorganized and updated. Until then you're paying a premium price for a mediocre gym.

    Clean, welcoming and SO many great classes to choose from! Also a daycare and a really nice locker…read moreroom where you can get cleaned up and ready for the day after sweating your face off. There's even vanities where you can blow dry your hair and put makeup on. (I read some reviews saying it was outdated, I don't know what people expect. The counters are granite, not laminate; get over yourself.) I was in town for a couple of weeks for the holidays and didn't want to loose the progress I'd made at the gym back home, so I called Treehouse based on a recommendation. They were happy to give me a short term pass while I was in town! They even let me come one day for free to make sure I liked it first! Liberty in the membership office was so friendly. I loved her the moment I heard her voice on the phone. Julie is an excellent teacher who kicks your butt with love. She's very encouraging and good at adapting workouts if you aren't as advanced. I took 3 different classes with her. I think "MetCon" circuit training was my favorite. Mary Lynn is not only an amazing instructor who motivates and pushes you, but you get a motivational-therapy-pep-talk at the end which, personally, brought me to tears in both classes I took from her. "Not your Mamas Pilates" introduced me to muscles I didn't know I had. "50/50" was a nice balance of weights and cardio. Loved the kick boxing moves! Amber's up beat "High Fitness" class felt like a cross between cheerleading and musical theater dance. She called it "old school aerobics". The choreography is repetitive enough that you can pick it up pretty easily, and if not, it's no big deal. It's fun and I felt it. Even my arms felt it! For those who don't like working out, this might be a fun way to start. Lisa taught dance club. I personally didn't like how loud the music was and how fast the moves were. I couldn't pick them up and therefore didn't feel "the burn" as much. BUT it's super popular and lots of ppl love that class because it feels like you're in a dance club. Go with some girlfriends and just have fun! I'm really bummed I have to go home now. There are still a handful of classes I haven't tried yet and I wish I could!!!
