Clear view! When they built this skate park the trees were freshly planted . . . you could sit on…read morethe hillside or in your car and read while your kid skated. No worries about the bigger kids pushing the little ones around and off the ramps. Not today . . . the trees are over-grown and the ramps are shielded from most of the adult view. This skate park is in a great hood, but teenagers will be teenagers! So, as with everywhere you go, watch your little ones. Trails is a well-maintained skate park connected to a recreation center in a great part of town.

Now this is a skate park. This recreation center has state of the art everything and is lucky…read moreenough to have an expansive space. The skate park is isolated from the rec center and just as spacious. It appears to have been sectioned off by skill level. The farthest North section is comprised of 4 small but good depth beginner bowls, and a couple short ramps with short rails. This is a great area to practice basic skills and get your confidence up. The other two areas are actually quite challenging and appear to be out of the amateur range. They look like blue/ black runs look to me on the slopes. The bowls are deep, the ramps are steep and the rails are long and have differing grades and levels. The speed is high and actually looks a bit dangerous. My 5 yr old spent most of his time in the beginner bowl area, and then ventured to the middle section, but never ventured into the danger zone. It looked like a great place to film a documentary on skateboarding which moves from beginners to advanced/ expert level skateboarders. My biggest concern was: not one child had on a helmet except for my son and this is literally an accident waiting to happen.

We bought an annual membership at this center about a month ago and we love it! As far as the…read moreprice, we pay out of town rates and are thrilled with them. A few years ago we were members of Lifetime Fitness and let me tell you, those are the prices that are outrageous!! We have three adults and prepaid childcare for a 4-year-old and an infant and it is only $73/month!! So I don't know what the people who are complaining about the price are used to paying but the going rate now at Lifetime is $65/month for just the 1st person. Now, are the locker rooms nicer there, yes. Everything is probably a notch up there but this place is still wonderful for the price. I go at different times during the week and the only time that things have been a bit crowded was this last Sunday afternoon at the pool, but even that was not too bad. The track is nice. There are big windows and you can see the mountains as you walk. You can also pretend you are looking down at the basketball court as you look back to see if you are about to be lapped. You do have to ask for a code before going up but they tell you this if you come in and ask about the center. The pools are a bit chilly (granted it is the middle of winter and there are huge windows) but they are a good size and seem to handle the number of people. I swim every Friday with my 4-year-old and she is usually the only kid. The guards are very nice and very alert! They are constantly walking and counting the guests. I just started taking the interval class and the instructor is great. The people in the class are so supportive too. I am about 100 lbs overweight and was VERY self-conscious about being in this class, but complete strangers were smiling at me, giving me high 5's and when I went to grab my water one lady thought I was upset and leaving. She stopped her work-out to encourage me to stay. That is a pretty great community of people. My kids also love the child care. The workers are so kind. They have never acted put-out or frustrated at all. They seem to really enjoy the kids and mine asks almost everyday if she can go there. My biggest suggestion would have to be some customer service training for some of the front desk staff. I know they are busy and I'm sure they put up with a lot of stuff, but some of them act like they are constantly irritated no matter how polite you are. Again, I don't think that you can beat this facility for the price!!

I'm just not a fan... their swim area isn't ideal. They have a baby pool that's a very small space…read morebut also too much splashing to actually accommodate a baby... The wave pool is kind of cool however it is pretty narrow, and they allow kids to be extra rambunctious in there, which makes it more of a danger than anything. Multiple times I've been there, the lap pool has been closed, which has a rock climbing wall, which maybe could be cool but again it's always been closed. It's the only pool deeper than 3 1/2 feet. They have a small lazy river which could be fun however all kids have to be in a tube and that's just not for everyone. There's a sign on the locker room that says little boys six and under aren't allowed in the women's restroom... Maybe people are fine with that but my six-year-old son is too small to be alone. Also, the biggest turn off is that you have to pay even if you aren't swimming. My kids are smaller and so obviously need a parent, but I don't need to be in the water with them, and you still have to pay, regardless, which is just annoying and kind of a rip off. It's just not where I would choose again.

I wouldn't recommend it for beginners but if you're intermediate or advanced, you'd have a good time here. My only gripe is that the smallest bowl they had was a 6 footer.
