We're Sparks locals & paid tourist prices to visit the GSR pool on a weekday! $30/pp to get in @…read more12noon on a Friday. Sheesh. A fool and his money are soon parted, I know, but we had a rare kid-free day and treated ourselves. Poolside service is snooty and slow. Drinks taste like mocktails & food is mediocre. If you wanna hang at the pool, better come with a credit check and Vegas money, baby. I'm surprised they don't charge you for sunlight. I know the days of $200 cabanas that come with admissions are long gone, but this seems unsustainable for Reno.

Disgusting. There's no maintenance for upkeep. People are crude. They pee in the pool. It smells…read morereally bad. Found a large mass of long hair floating by me. I've never felt grosser. Also there are no restrooms in the pool area. You've got to leave to fenced off pool and walk quite a long way to get to the restrooms, so if you have a child, make accommodations. All of that said, it's a heartbreaking scene. I've been coming to this pool since it was the MGM changed hands in the 80s I think, to the Hilton. It was always so nice. We'll kept, and not too crowded. I miss that.

2nd year of swim lessons offered by City of Sparks Swim University here, we are very pleased! Even…read morethough the instructors are of a younger age, they seem to take control of the kids and deliver the skills described for each level of instruction. Good value, too! Classes 4 x week and a discount for Sparks residents. They taught my kids more in 2 sessions over 4 weeks last year than I could have hoped to accomplish all summer. Hooray for learning water safety and another year of skill building! Ok, so the park is a bit sketchy, but the pool got a lovely re-do several years ago and it's a great asset to the community. Grateful that City of Sparks offers these lessons and discount swim Tuesdays are a great way to beat the summer heat! Dive in to Deer Pool!

Everybody is so friendly. This place is beautiful, clean, brand new facilities. Well maintained as…read morewell as great staff. I'm here, probably five days a week. It was a bit strange today having only one person swimming in the giant pool. It was overcast and rainy, Saturday evening... I guess I was the only one that needed to do laps but, when you're face down in the water, you don't really see anyone else or talk to anyone else. This is my favorite swimming/exercise spot . Can't say enough about it. Don't forget, the membership here also allows you to go to the other Reno area pools. Including Idlewild, north Northwest and Mount Evelyn or Evelyn Mount whatever it is. Lol

Time to check in on the pool 18 months in. I am happy to report that the facility is being…read moremaintained really well and it still has that new pool smell. Ok, maybe it is a clean pool smell. The building, locker rooms, seating areas, parking lot and outdoor areas look good. If you haven't been and you are thinking it is just another community pool like Alf Sorrenson or Idelwild, it is not. This is a jewel in the Parks & Rec. Department's offerings. This facility gets bonus points for being fully self sustainable with the hot springs and solar. The rates are reasonable with discounts on Wednesday evening and Sunday. RecConnect passes start at $12 per month.

We had the worst experience here! They charged us $4.00 to get in, let the kids swim for almost 2…read morehours before the staff decided to check the girls clothes! First of all, they violated the teenage girls by lifting there shirts and looking at they're bathing suits bottoms. From the looks of the other reviews this isn't their first time making customers feel uncomfortable. The girls complained to us about how they told them not to!!! Then they tried to say we were trespassing but we paid our fees $4 each kid (12 kids all together) and then they told us we had to leave without giving us a refund. I will never go there ever!! They treated us very unfairly! I don't understand how they didn't check the kids at the door. They took the money with no problem, let them swim for a while before they were approached by the rude staff!! Very rude staff and management! I don't recommend taking your kids there!!

We went to the Sun Valley Pool today and had a great experience! My friend and I took all of our…read morekids ages 3-9 yrs and they all loved it. First of all, they clearly stated the rules before entering the pool & actually enforced them. For a mom of younger kids to have clear rules enforced was amazing; my kids were never accidentally hit or pushed by older kids. They have 3 water slides and they will allow kids of all ages on them but no life jackets or goggles on the slides . The slides drop into about 3.5 ft deep water so they will catch the kids at the bottom if needed and walk the young ones to the top of the slides too. There is also a baby pool that's is 1-2 ft deep and is slightly warmer than the large pool. There was a life guard on all 4 sides of the pool and they rotated frequently, they really paid attention and made sure everyone was safe. The pool & facilities were clean and seemed very well taken care of. We will definitely be back! FYI they have life jackets available to borrow for free, only coast guard approved floatation devices allowed in the pool, no snorkels or flippers are allowed.

LRC is the best gym in town, better than any commercial gym…read more There are 8 squat racks and 4 benches. That alone tells you how much better this gym is compared to others. Other gyms are bigger, but only have 2 or 3 squat racks. This gym also has rubber plates, so you don't have to worry about breaking the plates when you drop/rack your weight. You can be as loud as you want! There is also an open area for crossfitters, 2 basketball courts, diving pool and a lap pool, and 4 racquetball courts. If you are a student or faculty at the University of Nevada, take advantage of this gym! If you're not a student/faculty, it might be harder to access this gym, as you might need to buy an alumni pass and/or a magnetic ID card to get in. And that's on top of your gym pass. So the only reason why I'm giving this review 4 stars is the price. But you do get what you pay for!

The regular swim tests are a great way to ensure that those entering the deep end are confident swimmers, which definitely adds peace of mind for everyone. I also want to commend the new lifeguards -- they've done a great job making sure young children stay out of the lap lanes. This has made it much safer and more enjoyable for those swimming laps, as it helps prevent accidental kicks or collisions. Thank you again for the attention to safety and the thoughtful organization of the swim areas. One small reminder: please encourage everyone to help keep the area clean as well.Dawn Lee

Very disappointed in pool hours and open swim for families during the summer. Customer service…read morecalling the pool is lacking and not receptive to booking events for school events or large groups. Pool should be open in afternoon for kids during the summer. Staff needs customer service training when speaking to the public. This pool would be utilized more if hours were receptive to families and schools in the neighborhood. The facility itself is very nice and some showers may need fixed in locker room.
