After closing in 2012 because of structural concerns, former Mayer Kasim Reed rebuilt a new $23.5…read moremillion, 64,000-square-foot Recreation and Aquatic Center in the Old 4th Ward towards the end of 2017. The new facility is sparkling and definitely worth visiting if you haven't seen it yet and becoming a member if you swim work out regularly. We paid about $250 for the family to join for the year and the bonus is that it gives the whole family access to all Atlanta public pools. The building is very open, bright (lots of natural light come in through the glass), and beautifully built. While ATL isn't the Northeast, winter is still somewhat more of a period of hibernation for a lot of people and the opening of this center provides a very nice public option for continuing to be active. It seems like they offer a wide variety of classes and activities for kids. While I can't speak to the basketball gym, workout facilities, and indoor running track on the second floor, the pool is great. It's helped our toddler develop an appreciation for the water and we haven't even tried their infant swim program yet. Some highlights of the pool are that the water is very warm, they have a beach front walk-in, a separate family changing room, a variety of aquatic toys for kids to enjoy, and a few fun sprinkler type poles in the pool. For parents looking to entertain their kids this could be a great drop-in option too at just $5 a visit I believe. My only complaints are 1) We've waited months to get our membership cards and the machine that prints them is always down or unavailable for some reason. This is obviously not such a big deal but 2) As this "undiscovered" gem is no longer so undiscovered, we've seen more and more swimmers come to the pool and it can be difficult to find a free lane to swim in now (especially around peak hours weeknights after work). This may just be what happens as you become a victim of your own success. The pool is huge but it's unfortunate that the way they built it the lanes cannot be expanded or added easily because the free swim section has a giant physical barrier from the lanes part.

My family rented half of the room for $65/hour. There is a refundable damage deposit of $100. The rental included complimentary use of tables and chairs as well as the kitchen. The kitchen was a decent size and had a refrigerator, microwave, and ice machine. Their staff was friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. They set up and took down the tables and chairs before and after the party. They also arranged it as requested. We were allowed to tape decorations on the walls. Set-up, decorating, break-down, and clean-up had to take place during the rental period. It would have been nice if we were allotted 30 minutes before and after rental time to do that. No biggie. We just planned accordingly. The facility is clean. The (women's) bathroom included three stalls and was well kept. There have seating at the lobby, just outside of the Community Room. There were plenty of room for our 60+ guests to move around comfortably. Large parking lot as well. The only complaint I have and this isn't necessarily the park's fault, but some of our guests had difficulty finding the place and were taken to a different location by their GPS. They all made it to the party regardless. There is a big sign at the entrance on PIB. We had a great time and would recommend the space to anybody looking to rent an open and spacious room for an event.

They accept card and cash. Pool have different lanes and depths. Depths ranging from 2 ft to 6 ft. The staff said that to enter the deeper ends they'd have to watch you do a swim test. Life guards posted on each end. They seemed to be diligent in watching kids. There are no chairs, tables, or shade. You're allowed to bring your own. They have the chair to assist handicap people as well. You are allowed to eat and drink, but you must be five feet from the pool. There are no concession. Every 45 minutes there is a mandatory 15 minute break. They blow the whistle each time to alert you if this. They have bathrooms and showers but we didn't use them. I'd definitely recommend it.
