Yes nothing like a good old fashioned knock down drag out wrestling entertainment to get anyone yelling. The gym are is large as they had a wrestling ring set up along with an entry way for the wrestlers to come into the area while being introduced. This place is big enough to have chairs all around a wrestling ring and to the wall and standing room only, (I think they had to turn people away) this was a popular event. During the art auction, the rugs were laying all over the large floor area, plus they had numerous paintings and sculptures displayed. During events, there is a kitchen area where they sell hot dogs and sodas and probably other items depending on the concession person involved. Please watch your step as you exit the building at night as the lighting is poor and the brick planter area out front is a tripping hazard as we found out during our exit, thus the check in at the ER.

It's not around a residence so you can be as loud and have as much fun as you want. The place includes A LOT of 8 foot tables, probably around 15-20 of them, and also metal fold-out chairs. All you need is table covers, food, and a DJ, and you're in business for a party!

They have this pool moderately warm 82 degrees or so so I'm able to swim my laps.

I love Jacksonville, Florida. I am a, "Native" of Jacksonville. I have seen a lot of changes over…read morethe years. Some good and some I did not agree with or like. I am most upset about the Jacksonville Landing being torn down. We have an NFL League here: Jaguars. We have been blessed with us being surrounded by the St. John's River and the beaches as well. Yes, it does get very hot here and humid. But, we do have the ocean and river breeze. I love all of the history and hiking trails here. Pros: the river and oceans Cons: too many commercial properties raising the rental rates! The rates are off the chain by greedy people who do not care about the residents in Jax. Recommend? Absolutely, but you need to have a great paying job and great stability.

Overall, far less than impressed. It's a new-ish facility but already showing its wear and built…read moresmaller than its current capacities dictate which planners should have realized when it was planned. The dive well has only 1m boards and a 3m could have been included, but wasn't. Locker rooms are absolutely tiny. I've been to an aquatics center in Lewisburg, West Virginia which is a town about the size of Lake City or smaller that pool is better than Cecil and is about the same size. For Jax-area, this needs to be much larger. Then there is my personal experience. I called ahead to ask if I could practice water polo here and the lady on the phone said, sure, of course. I show up with my polo ball and another girl is like "no, you can't take that ball in the pool". I explained other staff said I could and this was standard practice for water polo. She said "the other person must not have known what water polo was and that it involved balls". Sorry, you should not work at an aquatic center if you don't know what water polo is, period. Train your staff, Cecil. Also, face masks for underwater swimming which cover the nose are not allowed--these are standard training gear for swimmers. The lifeguard didn't know why and agreed the rule is stupid but said that's the rule. I'm a licensed USA Diving coach. I'm also very versed in high school and collegiate swimming and water polo. I also happen to run a youth sports program at another institution and per all this I can validly say the rules here and lack of staff training/knowledge are pathetic and far below national or World Aquatics or even FHSAA standards. Get it together, people. I gave two instead of one star because the pool itself is alright for lap swimming at the least.

Check the schedule for adult date night. That's right - drop your kid(s) off at the pool on select Fridays and they'll keep the kids entertained for the evening.

Oh well, they'll have energy drinks, hah. After leaving a bunch of balls in the water we headed back in the clubhouse for late lunch and drinks. I was doing dry January so it was Gatorade followed by shots of pickle juice for me. I just learned that the land here was once a settlement of Mocama people. After them Don Juan McQueen had a slave plantation here. When you are on the course along the marsh, it is cool to think of how historical this land is and the people who once lived here thousands of years ago.

There is a gym with tennis courts, a pool, and a soccer field near the front of the community. There is practically anything you could ever need in the gym and I think it is a great recreational facility. There is also a clubhouse that has its own pool. The clubhouse is great for private events since it has a wonderful view of the golf-course. I've personally attended several college and graduation events here and was always impressed. The golf course is lovely and lush. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery. One of my favorite holes looks out over the inter coastal. Overall a lovely place to live and hangout!

The Best Massage of My Life…read more From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles that set the tone for what turned out to be the ultimate relaxation experience. First stop: the spa amenities. I was shown to the lockers, pool, sauna, hot tub, and steam room--then handed a plush robe and spa slippers. I settled into a serene waiting room with a waterfall feature that instantly made me feel calm. Now for the massage itself: pure heaven. Gabi applied the perfect amount of pressure, checked in just enough, and even let me drift off into the most blissful little nap. And unlike most places that give you only 45-50 minutes, this was a full hour. Yes--sixty glorious minutes of massage. When it was over, I was given a chilled bottle of water and went on to enjoy the hot tub, sauna, steam room, and even dipped my feet in the pool. They've thought of everything--even a machine to dry your swimsuit so you don't have to tote home a soggy one. Throughout the spa, you'll find flavored water, hot tea, coffee, and bottled water at your fingertips. ‍ Next time, I'll plan to linger longer and enjoy lunch too. Is it more expensive than a basic massage elsewhere? Sure. But nowhere else offers this level of service, care, and indulgent extras. Worth every penny. If you're ready for the ultimate relaxation experience, this is absolutely the place to go
