Started with parent and tot and now they're on their own in a group setting. They've been advancing appropriately and it's been a great experience. Prices are sign up are easy to find on the website. The facility, locker rooms, restrooms, showers all top notch. Lifeguards are always on top of things. Swimming trainers are great, give updates at the end of every class of how our children are doing. I don't remember all their names but Alyx has been amazing every time she has been a teacher for our child. They're patient and kind and make our kids as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended.

Take a plunge at the Splash Park (mini water park without long lines and crowds), stroll around the lake, look at the ducks (please don't feed them, long story, but it's not good for them), and have a picnic lunch! The grass hasn't yet "taken" due to all the rain, but in time it will be better than before. Time and patience will take care of that! Have fun!

It is a shallow water water park and they offer life jackets as well if you have a kid that can't swim! The lifeguard and managers are younger and are very kind, they work hard to make everything accessible. Great time for the summer!

It is intolerant to block the dance dreams that girls and boys have. I hope the city can do something about it. They also chased away all the teachers. After three years being there quietly. So I don't recommend attending here. The staff was also very rude.

I felt like the staff there were usually always friendly and willing to help you. Most of the staff is younger. Overall if you're looking to put your kid into trying indoor soccer, this is a good place to start recreationally.

We had an amazing experience at Kids Empire today! This place is perfect for kids to run, play, and…read morejust have a great time in a safe and fun environment. Everything was clean, well-organized, and full of activities that kept the kids entertained the whole time. A special shoutout to Shawn--he truly made our visit even better. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. You can tell he really cares about the kids and the families visiting. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was going smoothly and that everyone was having a great time. If you're looking for a fun playground for your kids, I definitely recommend Kids Empire. We'll for sure be coming back!

This aquatic center is perfect for all ages. If you're 65 yrs and older there's no fee. There are…read moreseveral different areas, depending on your skill level, to enjoy the water on a hot day. There's an area for diving off the diving board, an area for a smaller children, lazy river for all ages and a water slide. That looks really interesting. I didn't go on that one but yeah, it's really nice. Lots of grassy area so if you wanna picnic out there, while enjoying the water. There's lounging chairs that go pretty quickly as well as the tubes for the lazy river. The lifeguards are very nice very well trained, constantly looking, constantly watching everyone to make sure no one is in distress. And yes, there are a lot of lifeguards which is really great considering how many people are there. There are rules to to the aquatic center too many for me to mention here, but if you want to check it out, go to their website. When I checked on the website, for the past couple days, it said it was closed, but the best thing to do is call to make sure it is open. Even the day I went the website online said it was closed. Before you reach the aquatic center you wind your way through the park that is very beautiful and very clean.

The only thing, if anything, that's worth mentioning is the lack of privacy we had in the voting booths. They seemed a bit cramped, which limited the amount of privacy you had when filling out your ballots. In our city chat, that appeared to be an opinion shared across the board. Outside of that, it was an enjoyable experience and I love the cheers they paraded the first-time voters with!

Great ball field but be mindful that the bleachers aren't the best with shade coverage. It's…read moredecent. Not a whole lot of room for lawn chairs either but there are some vacant areas where you can put them and can still see. The very back seating on bleachers doesn't have a lot of space for your full body(tush) to be seated comfortably. If you have stadium chairs/cushions, come prepared with them. Even a blanket for added comfort. Concessions available, like most fields. I noticed the grill for burgers outside of the concession but not sure how those taste. They smelled good.

So I've had a couple very different experiences with the Generations park at boys ranch ... Aka as…read morethe city's partnership with YMCA that combined the YMCA that had been on Central with Boys Ranch which was a city park with small water park/pool area. Which also acts as the city's rec center. There was concerns ahead of time about the city paying to build the facility for the YMCA to take it over; but the way I think it works out is that it still belongs to the city, but YMCA manages it so they are responsible for staffing, pay, etc. As a getting in to the different parts of the place ... if you are coming for the parks I recommend coming from Fossil Ridge. You can get to the pool & gym from here but you'll be taking a very winding path from the. The entrance takes you easily to the two parks on the grounds. If you are coming to swim or use the gym there is an easier entrance to the buildings parking lot from what I think is McClain road. Coming from Harwood that's the light for the road right next to the post office. My first experience was coming up to take a tour. The staff up front was extremely helpful and friendly and the facilities look amazing. I was pretty much ready to sign up but life happened and we hadn't picked back up the paperwork prior to the birthday party we just went too. My second experience was a phone call; again staff was helpful.... I was calling to see how we'd go about booking a room for a party but not a swimming party ... kinda think more of like for a baby shower or 1st birthday. They were helpful on the phone, and the price per hour was amazing for what we needed, but the system to book something like that was we needed to email one particular person and you MIGHT hear back and you might not. Not something that you need when trying to book something of the nature. When compared to another local rec center that has that all available on their website to book without need of calling or emailing. My most recent experience was a pool birthday for one of my kids friends. There was no real check in system, we walked in with two other families from school and the birthday kiddos sibling came up to walk us back to the room. The party host wasn't very attentive; we only saw him two or three times in the 2 little more than 2 hours my kiddo & I had been there. It took 10 minutes into the party for us to find out our kids needed wristbands, not counting the time the party parents had already been there; which all of the kids there had already been in the pool for that whole time. The wristbands were in boxes on top of a random shelf so wasn't obvious to us at all. The dad of the birthday kid had to make 4 trips back and forth to bring things in and was only told about carts they had for parents to use when leaving. The parents said they went to an area a few times to try to track the host down but never could find him. Lucky the party went off with little to no issue and the parents said the price is outstanding. The indoor pool area is great that you can see everything from most points so it's easy to keep track of kids. They have two big slides which the kids liked. Lots of life guards, and all the areas we had been in was well maintained. The one major change on upkeep is they need more mats in the party room. They had one mat at the door but the tile floor in the party room quickly became hazardous with as many wet kids walking in & out as we did. Even with the kids walking in with towels on them. Luckily some folks had brought extra towels which helped ... but with the MIA party host we would have been out of luck with a number of slipping and sliding kids if we didn't have the spare towels. Hopefully they can get some of the kinks worked out from being new.

Laney was awesome she patient with me and very helpful with booking a room. The location was clean.read more

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would! This place has taken a turn for the worst ever…read moresince Alexis Hernandez took over. She's literally driving this place directly into the ground and doesn't even care. They don't even care. They just have our children sit there on the floor staring at walls from seven until 830 every morning. They haven't been feeding them breakfast And they didn't tell any of the parents that we weren't allowed to bring meals to heat up until after the fact, I found out at 6 PM that my daughter had not eaten all day and they didn't even bother to call me or offer her a different lunch even though they have different options there. Alexis went out of her way to be rude to my daughter on several different occasions Being mean and belittling her and gaslighting her. I don't understand how her and Andrew are in charge of this program. Miss Dez did a wonderful job and we truly miss her. It's unfortunate that she had to leave. Of course since we were upset about this whole situation and they decided to go ahead and kick my daughter out instead of you taking responsibility for their actions because that's just what they do. I think that we had every right to be upset because our daughter didn't eat from the time she got there until I picked her up at 6 PM, even though she had food and she had to watch other people eat around her and then of course she had a little bit of a rough day because she's hungry, but that doesn't matter they just don't understand what her problem is. It seems like anytime anybody is a little problematic. They don't know how to handle it. They said they have training, but I don't understand what they actually train them to do. I mean, maybe CPR and that's wonderful but there's definitely a lot more. They need to learn here. I also find it very shitty that I was told Friday that maybe you know we weren't a good fit anymore because they didn't see my daughter and wanted to let her sit there and stare at walls for two hours a day or starving her all day and that maybe I need to find something else that it was my decision and I was like you know she really likes it there except for these couple things maybe we could just work on this and instead I get a partial refund and kicked out this morning no warning. Thanks a lot The Link.
