    Clean friendly and plenty of room. Rarely if ever had to…read morewait for equipment in gym, the trail outside is wonderful (pretty & flat-ish & an accurate distance). The kids facilities look great but that's not what I use or know about. The pool is clean (only 25ft, the usual), not crowded most of the day (and if crowded the lifeguards are great at arranging the circle swim for those of us unlikely to wait ). Most times only 1 or 2 in each lane. We re spoiled. Great steam bath. Hot tub can be hotter, pool can be cooler , and sauna just hot. But après workout great to use. Great tools in gym ... hour long treadmills with uphill and down hill! Stair master! Assisted pull up for us weaklings. I see all sorts of classes /parties/ straps cycling/ yoga/ weight watchers .... seems like quite the hub Of community activity. Even the Founders Hall is next door for us geezers. Good parking (why do we look for close spots when we are here to workout?). Best part is nice folks and you can get in and out quick and safe OR be social. GREAT price for resident$ !

    Whether for birthday parties, camp or just the playground we are here quite often and my kiddo…read moreloves it. The playground is never too crowded and though it's part of the rec center there is no membership needed. For those that are members or want to do a day pass they also have an indoor pool and splash pad play area. The splash pad is fun but the individuals they choose to monitor it really deter from the whole experience. The other weekend we were there and my daughter and two friends were playing Barbie's and decided to wet their hair. No throwing them or anything wild just wet their hair. A woman first approached one of the girls (a 5 year old) and sternly told her that was not allowed. Which in and of itself was not acceptable. Kids being kids they went again to wet Barbie's hair and along came the same woman, only this time she confronted the mom. The mom said she'd stop it and asked the woman if in the future she would not address issue directly with her child rather come directly to her. She pointed out the tone of the woman voice used ti speak to children to which the woman stood there and begun confronting the mom. Stating repeatedly this is my voice and I'm not shouting. We all stayed calm and simply asked her to walk away. She repeated herself a few more times before walking back to her chair. All that being said, apart from the overwatch at the splash pad it is a fun place to take the kiddos.

    Constance Baker Motley Recreation Center - Fitness room -- not quite as bright as this, but you get the idea.

Do I join an expensive gym in Manhattan which would be under-utilized since I come-and-go? I was excited to discover the city-run Constance Baker Motley Rec Center on East 54th Street. They've got a fitness center, gym, track, pool and -- hold onto your hat! -- my annual membership (since I'm a senior citizen) is $25!!! Can you believe it?! Even if you're not old it'll only cost $150 per year. In Manhattan! I've read complaints that seem to permeate the facility. But for my needs -- and I really just joined -- it's great. The fitness room is somewhat antiquated, but has enough of what I want and so far (knock wood) everything works. There's a decent locker room, the staff is polite and the building itself, which dates to 1911, is pretty cool. Curious about the name, I learned that Ms. Motley was an American civil rights lawyer and the first African American woman appointed to the federal judiciary. (I love that the city pays homage to her.)

Wear a sweater as well. Sent a note on the portal to the commissioner...true to fashion has not responded back. I paid for a membership that I am not able to use since they seem to refuse to get the heat fixed. Staff has communicated the building has no heat...falls on deaf ears. SHAME ON THEM.

    Constance Baker Motley Recreation Center - People come to swim laps.  I was told that during the year they'll likely have water aerobics.

    Constance Baker Motley Recreation Center - There's a top-floor track, closed during the summer.  (Note the fabulous ceiling)

Water sprinklers and restrooms available, too. A turf field is another plus. It's small, but they packed as much as they could.

A front desk was rude who ever stepped in to the entrance they were kind giving an attitude. I hated an again woman was very bossy to my friend and snobby. NYC has changed it used to be very friendly all over the places. I don't know where those ppl came from. If they don't like their job stay home and don't come out. smile to us at least and welcome to everyone. being bossing around isn't nice at all. A security woman was nice to everyone and saying if they need help or not with smile. There fore I put 1star up. (I was going to give 2star) modern building, I hope it shouldn't be affected to you, personally. This location is located in the middle of the hill, if you're old or have baby, you might feel hard to get there. Mac Computer is available and printer is for ppl bring the own papers. LOL there's no store in the middle of the block you have to go down the hill to get something. Starbucks, supermarkets etc. In the building, young ppl are very quiet and keep their own but old ppl are very loud and talk to everyone and walking around and some ppl are bossy and talk like they own this building.....omg.....Who is young? But they won't bother you.

    Be prepared, the trail down to the falls is very long and while its quite easy going down ,getting…read moreback up is a definitely a treck. It's so worth it though. If however you decide not to go down to the bottom, there is a viewing platform . The waterfall pressure/flow can vary depending on when you visit. Heavy after rain or less during the summer months. Swimming is allowed in the basin , the water is cold . The fall and parking are free in designated parking lots. There was a porta potty in tje lot we parked in. Not sure if there's one in each parking lot though. Don't park anywhere along the roads as you will get ticketed and/or towed. Arrive early aa the parking lots fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Personally I wouldn't do this trail on a rainy day especially if you're a beginner. Lots of stepping stones that can be slippery when wet. Other than that it's one of the most beautiful trails I've been on.

    One of the best water falls in NE! Mid-week afternoon visit…read more There was a park? officer at the entrance sitting in the car waving as people's left. There was also a table at the entrance to the trails with a person who didn't have much knowledge of the trails nor falls?? Spent 75 minutes and was able to hike upper, mid and lower falls. The trail to the viewpoint is very short and easy to find. There was little water when I visited in mid- September and leaves hadn't to change colors yet. The trail to the falls is NOT marked very well after the initial 2 signs. Many on the trail said they continued on stairs (straight) that didn't go to the falls! If you want to just hike without the Falls as the end goal, then this park works for you. Lucky for me I received an advice from returning hikers who knew the park and advised me well :). The KF hikes are not long but are pretty steep... scrambling maybe required especially to get to the cove behind the upper falls. The trail split, to the bottom of the falls and to the mid- falls, is pretty close. So the view to the entire falls was worth hiking down to. The trail near the bottom of the falls is red rock stairs and well maintained. Parking was a gravel lot and was about 2/3 full. Enjoy!
