    Went today to enjoy some time with our young nephew and niece before they go back to school. Nice…read moreand clean facility and they really enjoyed their time. Only complaint I have is that there were some young teenagers rough housing in the lazy river area. At one point they had my 5 yr old nephew trapped under their floats. The life guards were told about this and they said they only break it up if someone is being hurt. So a 5 yr old trapped under a float by rough housing teens in the lazy river is allowable behavior? I think NOT! At the front desk I asked about a veteran discount and was told "I don't think we do that". Please educate your staff and PLEASE honor the spirit of a "lazy river."

    They should have a sign that explains that they don't accept American Express.I waited in line at…read morethe concession stand for 20 minutes, the lady at the desk tells me that she sometimes doesn't accept American Express.I asked her could I come back with a different card,and she said yes.I come back to the pick up line.The other lady is saying I have to come back and wait in line.I tell her what happen and she even asks the other girl can she take my order.She just said for me to come back in line.I am pregnant and the line was longer than it was the first time I was in it.Thank goodness I had crackers in my bag. I think it is ridiculous to make a customer come back in line when there is no sign that states that they don't accept American Express.The water park it self was overall a fun experience for the family, but I probably would not come back to order food unless I have cash because I'm not taking a chance that they tell me to wait back in line.

    Nothing has changed about this swimming pool over thirty years except the management…read more I was raised in LaHarpe, IL and took my first swim lessons from my mother (who managed the pool) when I was six months old. I still have family in the area but rarely visit during the pool season. This time was different. I called ahead to see if they have adult swim, and they did from 12pm-1pm. This was before regular pool hours. I was greeted with a smile by the manager and she was excited about her first adult swimmer. I asked "for the day?" and she said "of the season!" I walked into the lockerroom and it was like a blast from the past. Nothing had changed. It was as I remembered it as a kid. Some may think that this would be disappointing, but it was not. For an outdoor pool only open 2 1/2 months a year there is little need for luxury. The pool was clean and empty. I was the only adult swimmer the entire week (except when I brought two friends friday.) The cost for the hour was $1!!!!!!!!! I got five hours of exercise in for $5 for the week. You cannot beat that. I also found out that during regular hours it was only $2 for the day. We decided to stay the last day and play. There is a baby pool, a kiddie pool area, a regulation lap area (3.5ft deep) and then the diving area. The diving area is 12ft deep and still has the low board and the high board. I dove a few times and it was a blast. I cannot remember when the last time I had such fun. I hope that more people will start to attend so that I can be assured a spot to swim outside next season.

    I used to belong here. I joined because the location included a pool and a large hot tub…read moreoverlooking the Illinois River. While soaking in front of a huge glass window in the hot tub, you can actually see the bald eagles nesting in the trees on the other side of the Illinois River! But that's about it. The place is being run by idiots, all on the city payroll -- usually guys wearing tight body shirts who spend most of their time working out on the machines while giving scant attention to the "problems" all around them. The workout machine area overlooking all of this is virtually deserted with no supervision and no customers, particularly in the evening hours after work (one has to wonder why?). This encourages pilfering and chronic theft in the locker areas, among other things. Then a white school bus arrives and unloads various people on a hot summer day, who stand around talking to each other in the Olympic-size pool, thus preventing anyone from swimming laps until after they and their white bus leave two hours later. If one tries to complain, a guy in a tight body shirt comes over to tell you your behavior is not acceptable. Meanwhile, the people off the bus could be drowning from no supervision for all he knows because, up to then, he and his "crew" are busy talking to various types about tomorrow's big game at the events center! It is a big political operation to keep everyone happy during the summer heat and the drop-dead months of cold winter, so they will not throw rocks or steal hubcaps (as well as cars parked nearby) due to the lack of personal safety on the streets around the place --which has been funded by tax monies -- that is from those who pay taxes. Somebody made a lot of money building this place. Then they use it to stick it to the taxpaying citizens to keep some people "happy" who are "needy" and unhappy for whatever reasons. But watch for Mr. Body T. Shirt to run for mayor next time around, since he knows how to make the big shots with the real money happy.

    Incredibly unsafe environment. After several months of harassment by another member, we escalated…read morethe case to the building level management who informed us they had no instrument at their disposal to enforce the code of conduct they expect of their members, and that we should just ignore the intimidation of the other member. We hate to leave this place, particularly because of the relationships that we have formed with so many good people here, but the dereliction of the duty of care by management is just unacceptable and morally questionable. I hate to say it, but you'd be safer going somewhere that values member safety over money.
