    Southgate Rec Water Aerobics class, Saturdays in August 11:30AM-12:15PM. The class runs from August…read more6th to August 27th, a 4-week session and is ages 12+, all fitness levels. Technically the activity location is officially called the "New Aquatic Center" at 8025 Waterman Rd, not the Pat O'Brien Community Center but I'm leaving this review here for now until the "New Aquatic Center" gets its own business page. For only $30 for 4 classes, I signed up as something fun to do and cool off to end the summer, and to complement my Orangetheory workouts and Zumba classes. The 45-minute class is meant to help improve flexibility and range of motion, and to build cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength. I brought water shoes, a towel, swimming attire, and a hat. They didn't recommend any need for pool noodles. Check in at the window and after entering the gate, grab a pair of foam water dumbbells (black, blue, or purple -- I'm not too sure the difference) and choose a spot in the water. Winnie had a speaker with music playing and a whiteboard with the moves written out to follow along/refer to. The warm-up consisted of jogging a few laps in the water around the pool to start, followed by frog leaps around the pool. Lastly, butt-kicks underwater in place. First set was jumping West/North/East/South and back to center underwater. Next was the Superman, then Flutter Kicks for more core work. Then we did Front Raises with the water dumbbells. (The water dumbbells offer resistance underwater that will help tone and strengthen the arm muscles, abs, and back.) Set #2 consisted of Lateral Raises, a Standing Row, and Chest Fly moves with the water dumbbells. Finally, the cooldown was another jogging lap around the pool, one lap walking around the pool, then stretches for hamstrings, triceps, shoulders, neck, obliques, etc. It's a neat exercise alternative, and our instructor was Winnie (although her last class will be the August 13th as she's going back to college in SoCal). The class size isn't too big, and all ages represented! For the first meeting we were in the shallow end of the larger (laned) pool as there was only one lifeguard. They also have water aerobics offered Monday and Wednesday evenings 7:30-8:15PM, which continue into September and October (not sure about the Saturday ones). UPDATE: Instructor changed to Brittany (sp?) for remainder of the August Saturday sessions. Lots of parking. I know at the Pat O'Brien Community Center they also have Zumba classes, and Citizens Church meets on Sundays too. There's a walking path and basketball court too, sometimes they have craft fairs, car shows, and you might even catch Rico's Tamales for sale.

    I'm hesitant to write this review, because I want to keep this lap pool a secret. However, I feel…read moreas an avid swimmer, it'll be selfish of me. This is probably the best lap pool you can swim in Sacramento. I have been to multiple swimming pools in Sacramento... 24hr Fitness and California Family Fitness. This lap pool is superior than all of them. Staff is friendly and the facility is well maintained.

Although not in the best part of town, I feel it's actually quite safe here and it's very well maintained. It's very clean, the bathrooms in particular were really much cleaner than private sports clubs and gyms I've been to and although the hours are more limited, 8a-8p M-F and Sat 8a-12n, there's also a gym studio with pretty decent equipment (with a very reasonable membership fee). There are afterschool programs for kids here M-F 3-6p and some adults and teens drop in open hours type of sports offerings as well. The multi-purpose room (i.e. gymnasium) is huge and can turn into a full court for basket or a couple of volleyball courts. There's also a computer lab with open hours for public use, and there are 2 full basketball courts outdoors in addition to some grassy fields (not very big though), and of course the swimming pools which are open only for the summer season. Overall, Samuel & Bonnie Pannell Community Center remains a vital part of the community in Meadowview/South Sacramento area and provides quite a lot of free and paid facilities and recreation and sports programs for all ages.

The location is central to the neighborhood and pretty walkable for those living nearby. There's a large and general clean parking lot, and the building itself is well-kept. Inside, there are several activity rooms or classrooms, 1 bigger auditorium/multi-purpose room/basketball courts gym, common areas where books & board/card games, table with seating, and lounging chairs are also available throughout. Outside there are grassy fields for sports, a very large lap swimming pool and a kid's pool with some water features to include water pipes that would shoot or dump water down and water slides for kids. All in all, this is a good community center. I think the outdoors facilities could use some update, but generally, the grounds outside and the building itself have both been kept in good condition for the most part.

The surrounding neighborhood is less than safe,…read moredue to some people using drugs and/or loitering after hours and doing questionable activities. However, the clubhouse itself, run by the City of Sacramento, is fine and safe, and the Park and Rec Dept runs activities at the clubhouse which are generally quite educational, safe, and wholesome. The clubhouse itself has several rooms inside for groups of kids to play games, read, watch movies, and do other fun group activities in as part of different events or summer camps. They also have some events for teens here, which is nice, as teens need healthy and positive activities to participate in so as not to get into trouble and not become involved with illegal activities and groups. Overall, this is a good place for children, family, and teens alike.

Here are a few activities that are held currently at the Clubhouse, "Yoga Classes" Family Game Night" "Neighborhood Meetings" and more. I was so happy too here that the Sacramento City Council approved funding for after school programs to be held at Southside Clubhouse starting sometime in the Spring of 2018. Woo -Hoo !

The community center is located where the old sewage plant used to be in South Sacramento many, many.... years ago. The community center has two rooms that can be rented out for small parties, meetings, or special venues ! The Mc Clatchy Room is the bigger of the two. This banquet room can hold 50 guests, while the Crocker Room is a little smaller and can hold 40 guest. There is even a small kitchen that can be rented out if needed. There are many classes held here during the week . Classes ranging from , Aerobics, Calligraphy, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, and even Ballroom Dancing !

Dog park is closed Monday and Friday's from 6am-9am in the morning for maintenance. There is plenty of parking in back of the community center for visitors of either the community center or the dog park.

    The annual Filipino Fiesta is held every first Sunday of June at the Jose Rizal Community Center…read more(Florin Mall Drive) to celebrate Philippine Independence Day. It's definitely a showcase of Central Valley Filipino-ness, culture and talent! It's run by six Filipino American community organizations and promotes community and youth relations, educating on history, with cultural activities and other festival events. The highlights of the fiesta include a parade, live entertainment, eskrima & arnis tournaments, traditional Filipino food. All ages, free entry, purchases out of pocket. 2022 was the first in-person event since Covid! The Fiesta went from 10am-5pm. When I arrived around 11am, it was pretty packed and I had to parallel park on the side street rather than the main parking lots. Weather was that weird overcast sprinkly light wind which doesn't scream "June" summertime, but for being out on the grassy area it was ok for walking. They had a charity car show/contest (Team LoveHATE and Neu Era), many many vendor booths from sponsors such as SMUD, UC Davis Health, Vaccinate All 58, Kaiser Permanente, Cache Creek, East Lawn, Sac Asian Chamber of Commerce (shout-out to Nikki S.!) giving out free 10-pack N95 masks and up to 3 Covid tests and other fun stalls like QTEA Boba (taro, milk tea, thai tea), a candle shop, a sticker shop, Filipino wares/crafts like island dresses, fun shirts, bracelets, Filipino flags, etc. My fave was the MTPhotos Sac mini photobooth and raffle (shoutout Misty T.!). They had an outdoor stage for music, performers as well as an indoor stage with performances by Sinagtala, tinikling (bamboo traditional folk dance), kung fu demonstration, Zumba, an oldies band, Polynesian dancers. The food trucks were very popular. Official vendors were Hella Halo (halo-halo), Pinorrito, Daisy's Desserts, My Lumpia Lady, Duffy's Hot Dogs, Angry Asian Chef, and Sugarbar. They had some tables and chairs for people to sit and eat too. I saw people eating chicken adobo and rice, lumpia, bbq on a stick, pancit! I picked up a few sweet treats from Ube Galore Breads & More (Bay Area-based) -- ube eggpie and ube cassava to take home...delicious!
