So I'm currently attending the law school at WashU and one of the perks is I get access to the Rec…read moreCenter. This place is brand new and way better than the previous facility at WashU. This Rec Center is moderately sized and has all the things you would expect to see inside a college gym, such as cardio machines, full weight room, studios, indoor track, and basketball courts. They also have a variety of exercise equipment that you can rent out and trainers available for assistance. The Rec Center is better than the gym at my undergrad, but I wouldn't say it's the best college gym I've worked out in. It's missing a couple pieces of equipment I like to incorporate into my workout so I'm forced to get creative. Additionally this place gets swamped by students so the best time to come here is at unpopular times, such as early in the morning. All in all, this is a great place to get active and stay healthy! #forthegainz

But- parking... Brentwood Parks And Recreation needs to align with the city to help with signage for parking. The lot is not large enough (maybe 60 spaces not positive) to have two directions. Even with it being clear to many that the natural flow was counterclockwise, a few felt the need to go against the natural flow. Then the streets around the park were full causing the streets capable of only allowing for a single lane of traffic. Even with a clear flow and literally no room for cars traveling in opposite directions... some attempted to push in, causing longer stand stills. It's like trying to go to the zoo/forest park on the weekends. But the park itself is fun!!! I do wish there was more shaded areas within the park itself. Parking needs to be fixed... there is no way an emergency vehicle could have gotten in to help if help was needed. That is a big concern.

I've booked rooms at the Brentwood Community Center twice within the last 30 days, and on both…read moreoccasions, the day-of staff were helpful, professional, and ensured that our events ran smoothly. Those positive experiences made what followed even more disappointing. My most recent interaction with the front desk the night prior to our event significantly changed my perception of the center. The front desk attendant, Jacqueline, was unprofessional and inappropriate in her conduct. During our interaction, she repeatedly accused us of being dishonest regarding a conversation she was not present for--despite the fact that the conversation was later confirmed to have occurred. She also made claims that we had done something to her, which was entirely untrue. What was even more disappointing was the follow-up from management. While they acknowledged the situation internally, they stated they "cannot force her to apologize" underscoring that he reviewed the video footage. Unfortunately, that footage did not include audio as it would show that I never raised my voice at her, cursed or insulted her. She, however raised her voice and insulted me multiple times. He also failed to acknowledge a key point: the situation was escalated by her repeatedly calling me a liar. Instead of addressing that behavior directly, the matter was reduced to a "she said, she said" scenario. Additionally, there was a third party affiliated with the center who could have been consulted to help verify what occurred as he apologized to us once we left but based on the call, it does not sound like that step was taken. An apology would have gone a long way toward resolving this situation, especially given the personal nature of the insults. Because of this experience, we will be moving future events to other venues whose staff demonstrate professionalism and held accountable when they fall short of that standard.

There's plenty of parking and they also have EV charging stations too. The front desk staff were friendly. My family enjoyed the space and is already looking forward to booking the room again for a family gathering!

Also, it's very open and I can see all parts of the park so even thought it's not fenced, it just feels safe. The kids love that part of it is a tree that you climb inside. Bathrooms are close so great for potty training toddlers who have to go RIGHT NOW. There are 4 picnic tables in the pavilion, 2 drinking fountains and some sunshades with benches. We had our kids' birthday party there and it went extremely well. Super affordable to rent! The only downside is one parking lot is a flat trek to the playground but a longer one and the other parking lot is fairly close but you have to walk down a big hill and so then also back up. So anyone who is more limited with ambulation or someone who fatigues very quickly may not find this playground particularly accessible. Otherwise it is a super fun and simple playground!

The main feature is the three decent sized baseball/softball fields that are in reasonably good condition. I imagine they get quite a workout during the warmer weather! There are bleachers at the ball field though there is minimal shade. The park also has a few picnic shelters, a permanent structure with restrooms and a really nice looking playground with shade and several different climbing/sliding features. Parking is behind and to the side of the largest of the baseball diamond. I would imagine that you still need to be aware of the foul ball going back into the parking area.
