    Ewa by Gentry homeowners (and renters/tenants of an Ewa by Gentry home) are privy to a community center that's exclusively for them. Located on Keaunui Drive next to Thomas H. Gentry Community Park sits a lone structure that houses an outdoor lap pool and party pavillions. Having a community center like this is a huge plus because here in Hawaii there is no such thing as a "small party." There are two pavilions available for rental: LARGE PAVILION: - maximum capacity is 88 people - that provides 16 tables and seating for 88 people - damage deposit check of $275.000 - rental fee with pool access for $375.00 - rental fee without pool access $275.00 - minimum time to rent pavilion is 5 hours - additional hourly rate if your event surpasses 5 hours is $55.00/hr - additional hourly rate for pool time if your event surpasses 5 hours is $25.00/hr - FULL KITCHEN AVAILABLE ON PREMISE SMALL PAVILION: - maximum capacity is 39 people - that provides 8 tables and 39 chairs - damage deposit check of $175.00 - rental fee with pool access for $275.00 - rental fee without pool access is $175.00 - minimum time to rent pavilion is 5 hours - additional hourly rate if your event surpasses 5 hours is $35.00/hr - additional hourly rate for pool time if your event surpasses 5 hours is $25.00 - NO KITCHEN AVAILABLE FOR SMALL PAVILION Also note there there NO LIFEGUARDS OR ATTENDANTS ON DUTY TO PROVIDE SUPERVISION. What I love about this place is that your guests can get as loud as they want because there is no immediate housing nearby that would complain of noise pollution. It's a great venue for parties that require more space than your home or perhaps something not the size of a banquet room at a hotel or country club. Perfect for the "small" local parties. There is tons of parking specific to this community center but also tons of available non-metered street parking. There is also a resident pool membership if your specific housing does not have a pool. The fee is an annual rate of $50.00 for head of household and $15.00 for each additional household member who is 7 years and older. There's a pool schedule that allots for open swims, swim clubs and lessons as well as overnight lap swims (it's an additional fee to have access to night swims). In my opinion, this is such a great asset to the growing Ewa plain community. The only downside is that this community center is that it's for all Ewa by Gentry (can't have just one if you're gonna build up the entire west side of Oahu). This is strictly a community center with no recreational equipment (like a gym or workout equipment).

    So, in order to use this rec center you will need to purchase an annual membership. Its $50 for the first person and $15 for the next person. Anyone in your household MUST have their own membership card. In other associations, the rec center is included with your association fees but I guess that's why we have such low association fees in Gentry. With this membership, you are able to use the pool and reserve the pavilions there. The pavilions are nice, they have all the chairs and a food prep area but to reserve the area is pretty pricey. If I remember correctly, its around $200 for 4 hours of rental which I thin would have been ok if these pavilions were enclosed and with AC, ESPECIALLY here in Ewa Beach... but they aren't. What I do like about this place is the pool. The pool is warmed by solar, so as you can guess living in Ewa Beach, the pool is always nice and warm even into the evening hours. The water has not been too chlorinated in all the times I have been there, so that is always a plus for someone like me with sensitive eyes. They have tons of loungers and small tables for you to relax on. But be aware, there is no lifeguard on duty here.

    Always love coming here to swim. It's nice, cool, and relaxing. It's never busy so that's a plus. The staff are also friendly and it's really a nice place to chill with friends, family, or if you need time alone.

    We've really loved being members at the Kroc Center. The facility is always so clean, organized,…read moreand well maintained, and the staff has consistently been kind and welcoming every time we've been there. We love the food area, I personally love using the gym, and my husband, kids, and I all really enjoy the pool and water area. The kids have also had such a great experience with the sports clinics. It's just such a positive, family-friendly environment overall, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the facility and programs. We're very grateful to have such a great family facility here on Oahu!

    This is a great place! You get access to a gym, a warm swimming pool with lanes, and lots of other…read morewater spots for the kids and family to have fun! They always have a few lifeguards on duty, and the pool even has a rock climbing area. How unique! They have a lot of other programs you can sign up for and even do plays sometimes throughout the year. This is in my opinion one of the best recreational centers on Oahu! The staff is awesome here. They are helpful and friendly! There is also a place where they serve coffee and food. Affordability wise, considering the variety of amenities they have including pickleball tournaments and the option for family plans, you get a lot of value much more than you would get with a typical gym membership. We pay roughly $100 a month for a small family and so that's a great value in my opinion!

    Poor staff and management, especially treatment towards residents of this neighborhood. To think…read morethat people who've been living here for 10+ years would be singled out is a bit ridiculous. Not a good look for administrative people to lack relationships with former residents.

    Stop! You had me at pool party…read more First time here and celebrating a birthday. This is a private community area so you need to be sponsored in. It's a decent size that consist of three covered lanais and four small cabanas. The largest lanai where we were at has a regular refrigerator and a sink. The counter top is large and has several power outlets. Also there's a countertop island where the host has placed all the food. The pool is great size. Not too big and not too small. It almost takes up half of the community area. The kids really enjoyed it and surrounding the north side of the pool are lounge chairs. There is a shower between the restroom entrances to wash off the pool chlorine. Security was visible the whole time. Well two guys wearing security labeled tee shirts and taking out the bagged trash people left after cleaning up. I think they are there to enforce the rules and make sure things don't get out of hand. Overall four stars. Great parking and reasonable seating. Not quite five due to long reservation time. and looking for someone to sponsor you in. Great place to celebrate with a small crowd or family. Now to get my feet wet. M
