Upon pulling up we were greeted with a welcoming smile and an explanation of the ins and outs of the facility. We opted to pay 2 extra dollars to park within the gates ( because it was shady) but in the end feel that this was not really worth it for us that day. It was actually further away from the beach area. However, if you plan on grilling it will get your vehicle right next to the picnic tables and grills. There is a snack bar that is decently priced. There is also the opportunity to buy water toys. It wasn't too crowded and there appeared to be an adequate number of lifeguards monitoring the area. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean and there were also port-o-lets placed strategically around the parking lot. There are several water slides, a tarzan swing, and a slippery floating obstacle course. Bring sunscreen, towels, sandals( the sand is hot) and some beach chairs too! Next time we go we will take advantage of the grills! Overall tons of fun and we were able to spend several hours there!

It was not a soft nibble. It was a bite and they did not stop. I asked the lifeguard if they knew of this problem and he told me 'yes' and he recommended not to keep moving around. The fish are getting bigger and hungrier and the owners know it is an issue yet they keep check g $20 per person and not letting people know of the problem. Do not take your families to this place untold they handle this issue.

Despite the pandemic, they are working to provide recreation programs and open facilities indoors and out, to the best of their ability. I enjoyed touring Benson and seeing ball fields, soccer fields, picnic shelters, the band stand home to summer concerts as soon as they can return, municipal park, sand volleyball, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard courts, playgrounds and the future site of a rehabbed space for a community center. While the Benson Civic Center at 1204 North Johnson shows its age, it was well maintained and designed for more active times. The weight room and cardio equipment are open with social distancing and masks required. The game room seemed so empty. There are two other under utilized meeting rooms due to the pandemic. The attached Benson Center for Active Aging was buzzing with volunteers at the clothing closet and also serves as a food pantry distribution site. Many virtual activities being offered as well.

I frequent here because of the gym. The membership is more than affordable (almost a steal), and the center is always well maintained. The gym isn't the biggest or fanciest, but it has everything you need to keep in shape. The rec center also offers a myriad of athletic programs (basketball, softball, soccer, etc.) for both the younger ones and the not-so-young. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Dirty kitchen, 5 opened pizza boxes in the oven, Food on counter, refrigerator full of their personal things and just filthy, microwave and Ovens looks like it haven't been cleaned all year long. We reserved this facility months in advance. You knew we would be there today. Why do we have to spend 45 mins cleaning what should already be cleaned? 2. Who wants to have an event where a complete stranger (Mr Lee)keeps walking in and out? Going through the refrigerator, making plates to eat right after rudely telling the kitchen staff that they need to shut down the kitchen? 3. Mr Lee has got to be the most unprofessional employee I have ever encountered. Reunion ends at 4. It's 3:25 We playing our family game and he comes in and rudely shouts ITS OVER, CLOSE IT DOWN! After being told by a family member that we were wrapping up and will be out by 4! Even tho we were delayed by up to 45 minutes because of y'all negligence! 4. Mr Lee approached an older family member in the hallway saying "YOU MEN NEED TO TAKE ALL THIS TRASH OUT" Sir if you don't sit down somewhere. There's a way to talk to people. One thing for certain and two things for sure The Powell Starkey Family will NEVER do business with y'all again! And I hope everybody that wants to patronize your facility reads this post so they know what to expect.

The employee that I interacted with was helpful in helping me get signed up for a week trial membership. But I wasn't given a tour of the facility. I got invited to check out Courtney B's Zumba class on this day so I didn't get to utilize the gym equipment or any other amenities. I did utilize a free locker to store my items. Courtney's class was great. It was very high energy and a great workout! I could tell that Courtney enjoys teaching. This YMCA location has a pool, free weights, and resistance equipment on the two levels of the business. I wish that I could have checked out other classes and amenities during that week but I lost a couple of days due to the snow storm.

Now it should be mentioned that I am looking at this park during the winter months, but there are still some glaring areas that need attention. There are many spots through the park with low lying areas that contain stagnant water that during the spring summer and fall will be breeding mosquitoes. Need to eliminate them with some fill dirt and reseed before it is too late to do so. You will spend more on chemicals to get rid of the bugs and will also drive out those people attempting to enjoy the park. As for the Disc Golf course, I got lost after hole 12. None of the tee boxes are concreted in. They are all mud holes. They need some help. I will re-review in Mid Spring.

They wouldn't accept that, we had to go in-person or they wouldn't accept it. (Shows you what they actually think about the health of their clients.) Didn't get cancelled, the payroll draft was still going out. Tried to cancel through other means (bank/work) but no, only in the gym itself. Eventually went in, filled out forms, done -- or so we thought. Payday comes, still going out. Okay, maybe we missed the cutoff for that month? Waited, and nope, still going out. My husband called them and complained. Manager was very apologetic--the paperwork wasn't done right, employee was new, mistake on their end etc. It would be cancelled and we would be refunded. Nope. Payday again, it's STILL going out. Called them AGAIN...and this time, they say "oh but it's a 30 day contract so we're allowed to charge you for another 30 days AFTER you cancel..." Get outta here. You've been taking $60 a month from my family for MONTHS, stop stealing peoples money you skeezy, unprofessional bunch of scammers.
