Lots of fun! Took our kids to the pool fire done Saturday morning fun. The big slide was only open for a few minutes and the climbing wall in the pool was closed. Great price and lots to do.
Spotless and complete. Lane swimming is well managed, well equipped. Basketball courts and gym are seldom crowded. Kids swimming area is unreal. There is even a birthday party room.
Carla Madison is a great gym. It's always clean and the staff is friendly. Abby has the best conditioning classes. The only problem with the gym really is that the high schoolers will come over and make a huge mess and literally run into people in the hallway and gym. It's like they don't see you. I don't think they should kick them out, but they should encourage manners and appropriate sports wear in the gym. These kids have shown up in lingerie and it makes me so uncomfortable. I recommend the classes but not the gym part of the rec center.
If you don't nail the timing of coming to this gym it is basically unusable due to the packs of high school kids who come over from next door. I would say on average about one in twenty are actually using the gym and the rest are just there to socialize and be in the way. Really is unfortunate.
Pros: very affordable, especially if you get in during their annual sale in November. Really can’t beat the price for a full gym with good equipment and a full lap pool.
Cons: gets very crowded during peak times, and during the school year it’s worse as students from next door come over right after. Happy that it can provide a safe place for the community, but staff need to be better about enforcing some of their rules (kids under 14 messing around on weight equipment, etc). Also pieces of of equipment are often broken and can take a while for them to get fixed. Finally limited hours (especially during the summer) can be frustrating.
So if you want an affordable option for a gym and can go in the morning/early afternoon this is a great choice, but definitely has its drawbacks.
Nice recreation center. Best one I have been to so far. Weight room can get a little crowded, but it depends on what time you go (and that goes for any gym included the Colorado Athletic Club at four times the price). It also has an outdoor slackline area and ping-pong tables.
New to the neighborHood and highly disappointed some people that work the front desk don't know simple information as to when they close....guy tells me 9... Website says 8... Guy assures me it's at 9... Take the kids there and hang out for a sec then go down the block for a brew while the kids do their thing. No sooner as I sat down and got a cold one, my phone was blowing up, kids said they're closing and I gotta get them asap! So I paid 8.50 for a beer I barely took a " BIG" drink of and had to run all the way back... Good times.....🤦🖕
I had my family reunion this past July here at the Carla Madison Center and I must say it was the most amazing experience. This venue is beautiful and reasonably priced. I can’t say enough about the staff. Troy is awesome! He is one of the most professional people that I’ve had the pleasure to meet. I don’t know the names of the other staff members but they all did an awesome job. I would highly recommend this place to any and everyone who is having an event.
