[Note: this facility is multi-purposed. My review is about the fitness amenities (gym, locker…read morerooms, fitness room). There are also conference rooms, an auditorium and other event spaces here that I won't be discussing.] The City of Saint Paul owns and operates several recreation centers. I was looking for an indoor walking/running track and a fitness room and came across the "Saint Paul Getting Fit" program, through which I can buy a membership to use any of the facilities for--get this--$30 *annually* (http://www.stpaul.gov/index.aspx?NID=2940). Not per month, per year. So with the cold weather on its way, I went to my nearest recreation center, the Wellstone Center (also known as El Rio Vista Rec Center) and bought a membership. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. There was open gym going on for volleyball and basketball, as well as a big festival in the auditorium. She was handing out passes, taking gym fees, and helping me sign up for my membership, without so much as blinking. Do not hesitate to call the front desk line if you have questions, she will help you out. (Tangent: when I first heard about the Getting Fit program, I called the main St Paul Park & Rec office. The person I talked to didn't give me any information, and couldn't even tell me which Rec Centers had walking tracks. Very underwhelmed). The locker rooms are on the lower level. Small, but fine for my needs. It's BYO-Lock, and they do have small and larger lockers. There are also two shower stalls in the ladies locker room, for your reference. The fitness room is also on the lower level, and is fairly small. There were three ellipticals, two treadmills, a multi-function weight machine, two sets of free weights, two bars for bench press (one standard, one was a really cool self-spotting machine), and a couple other pieces of miscellaneous strength-training equipment. The treadmills are really nice--newer, with good options for programmed and manual work outs. As a cooldown, I went upstairs to use the walking track. Myself and the SO were the only ones using it on a Sunday afternoon. The track is smallish (11.5 laps = 1mile) and is probably only about 6 feet wide, but it does the trick. It's suspended over the gymnasiums, so I had a good time watching the local teens playing volleyball and basketball. Overall, I was very impressed with this facility for the price I paid to use it. Their fitness amenities don't have a ton of capacity, but there also aren't many people using it (There were 2 other people in the fitness room, and no one on the walking track). The facility is clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. And it's, overall, a fantastic amenity for the West Side community.

The Wellstone Center is a multi-use facility. My review is primarily for event rental…read more I love the Wellstone Center. I have attended a few different training events here. I find that they offer a variety of rooms and room sizes for rent, and they appear to set their prices at a reasonable rate. They offer assistance with setting up and with the A/V equipment as well. The location is easy to find and the parking is good, too. As far as other uses for the center, I understand they have really great fitness amenities and the membership here is very affordable.

That waterslide with the lights and music? Awesome! It's a one of a kind experience. Beyond the waterpark the playground was also great.

They offer so much more than just a pool and playground. From the fitness center to the skatepark they have created a space for all interests and ages. It's clear they have invested in making a valuable resource for everyone.

What an amazing indoor water park for the family! We went here for a kiddos birthday party. The…read morecabanas are in Bamboo Bay area vs the main pool area. Bamboo Bay is much louder than the main pool area due to the fact it's more enclosed and there are sprayers with lots of water all over. The lifeguards do a great job of keeping their eyes on the kiddos cause it can get very very packed in both pool areas and kids of all different ages including adults too! The bathrooms and lockers are great and all facilities are pretty new and kept clean. I do love the spinner to spin clothes after swim time... As a side note, if you're like me and just hung out with other parents while the kiddos swam...it can get very very hot and humid so dress accordingly even in the winter time!

Buffalo has a couple of these but nothing quite compares to the ones here, and one of them is Saint Anthony Village. It actually has a huge Mall as part of it although it's in the City of Roseville technically - I'm not really sure how they define these things. Saint Anthony is sort of within Roseville. It's a nice affluent part of town a few miles north of downtown, with absolutely horrendous traffic. I like it and on the other hand I don't like it because of the traffic. It is the most popular Mall in town other than the gargantuan Mall of America. A lot of people from all over the area come to these parts if they don't want to Brave the massive Mall of America.

We WILL take the children swimming here, but this is not CURRENTLY the place to have a birthday party. Ambiance: Everything was looked fine, clean, put together... I had no issues with how the place presented itself. I honestly thought their bathrooms were pretty clean and appreciated it as my Goddaughter changed in their stalls for the swimming portion of the party. Service: Here's where the issues begin. My nieces mother had requested a bday party for a group of 30, that dwindled down to about 15 or 16 children. If my memory serves correctly for what she was charged, you are provided hot dog, chips, kool aid/juice and bday cake. She was asked by MANAGEMENT if she wanted balloons and confetti, to which she enthusiastically said, "Yes!" Only to enter the room and it was empty and asked about her balloons and confetti and was provided an, "Oh, I was talking about on the cake." #wompwomp Upon her arrival, any question she asked the young lady at the front desk was met with an idk and/or irritation. We asked for a mop for the room, so that kids didn't fall upon coming into the party room from the pool, since there was a ton of water in there, we didn't get it for quite some while. Upon my nieces mothers arrival, not the kids attending the party arrival, the staff tried to bring in the hotdogs, so that they could eat cold hot dogs after swimming. LOL When she suggested that they wait to bring them out, she was met with irritation.. yet again. HERE'S THE KICKER! When it was time to go, we packed the room up and tried to downsize the trash for them and put all of the remaining birthday cake (a personalized cake and A LOT of cake left at that) and juice/kool aid to the on a table in the room and went to the pool to let the kids finish swimming. We came back and guess what? The staff came and ate the cake and finished the juice. #gasp whaaaah the heck! Their response: We thought you were done. No apology. Nothing. Do NOT HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY THERE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

Member for 4 years…read more Decent workout area with fewer "gym bros" than other more popular fitness centers. Access to the pool and arenas are great. The personnel needs more training on membership programs, facilities, and basic customer service skills. Ask for written information rather than rely on their front desk to provide accurate information. Two people working the same day can have different policy interpretations. This includes the aquatic center staff. I ended up cancelling due to life changes, and what was told to me as a pro-rated cancellation fee, was not true. Had I known, I NEVER would've don't yearly memberships. Losing out on hundreds of dollars due to their poor staff training is not serving the community.
