The racquet club advertises itself as having a pool, weight room, rball courts and tennis courts…read more To be honest, the pool and weight room are mediocre at best, about what you'd expect to find at an apartment complex. The tennis courts aren't anything spectacular but they do seem to be kept in good shape. That being said, I don't use any of those facilities. I only use the rball courts. There are 3 indoor courts housed on the premises that are perfectly usable. But, to be honest they also show signs of wear and tear. The reason it gets 4 stars from me is that it's an available indoor rball court in Gainesville that doesn't require you to have student ID. Which makes it really the only game in town. On top of that, most of the other clients are friendlier older couples or families, so you won't have to worry about a hostile environment. Fees have recently increased from $35/month to $40/month for the rball membership, but I suspect that's because they've recently redone the clubhouse (which actually looks nice). This gives me hope that they actually have plans to update the rest of their facilities as well.

My review here is for Westside Park, not the recreation center…read more I have always loved this well shaded park. Growing up in Gainesville, it has always been a central location for picnics and outdoor Birthday parties. They have recently updated all of the playground equipment. But, my favorite are the old swings in the central portion of the park because they can withstand adults swinging on them*. There is nothing better than swinging on a hot day to cool off. The enclosed pool with high-dive platforms and water slide are also located withing the area and parking spaces for your car are plentiful during daytime hours on weekdays and early morning on weekends. You can also enter the Hogtown trails on 8th Avenue near here. I posted the address of the recreation center to give you an idea of where the park is located if using GPS. * The underside of the swing notes that they are made for children only, but they have been holding my weight for many years.

Awesome park, everything you would want. Tennis courts,…read morelarge playground area, basketball, baseball fields, etc. Big pool, lots of shade, one big water slide. Cheap rates, residence and nonresidence, same price for the pool, around $2.50. You can buy a season pass. Across from a nice trail with creek, we found some people looking for shark teeth. Yes, you read right. Dogs allowed but must be leashed.

So many species of bird flit( warblers, sparrows, woodpeckers, and bluebirds, mostly) around here, ignoring all the construction that is going on near the baseball diamonds. It is a dog park, picnic area, or tai chi spot. You could have food under one of the pavilions, or just spread a blanket on the flat ground and ingest your deliciousness! Either way, it is a peaceful place to hang out in, walk through or enjoy activities with your dog or signif other! I come here at least three times a week!

Tom Petty Park is a cool park named for Gainesville, Florida's favorite son. Tom Petty is probably…read morethe most famous person to come out of Gainesville and it is fitting to have a park named after him. The park itself is pretty nice. It offers plenty of parking, has a nice walking path, tennis courts, a baseball field and more. It was a nice place to spend a bit of time on a Tuesday mid to late afternoon. I enjoyed walking the trail and just chilling. There was a decent amount of people in the park and they all seemed to be enjoying Tom Petty Park, as well. Tom Petty was an iconic rock and roller with a string of hits including "Listen to Her Heart," "Running Down a Dream," "American Girl," "Don't Do Me Like That," "Here Comes My Girl,"Free Falling," and more. It is fitting that Gainesville, Florida remembers Tom Petty and honor him with a park.

We would often hangout in the courts since they were enclosed and we would let the dogs run around. They also have a disc golf area which is well-maintained.

It's large and there is something for all age groups but the place is falling apart. An entire section of slides was boarded up and paint was peeling just about everywhere.

The playground is surrounded by gorgeous trees and there's a basketball court, baseball field, tennis courts and recreation center nearby . There's also a community pool that is open year round.
