I remember texting my friend Vlad because I was so excited to use the sauna at the Strongsville Rec. Center. He said that I probably would find Russian men in the sauna which I did, 2 of them (apparently Russians love saunas which is cool...haha). I am writing this review a year later, in Feb. 2025. A day pass cost me about $10, if I can remember correctly. I like that this option exists because I don't have to join as a member to use the gym and sauna. GYM/POOL/SAUNA -- At the upstairs gym, I used the stair master and walking track. I also noticed that they have a weights room downstairs but I didn't use it because I didn't have a lot of time. I then used the sauna and steam room downstairs. I stayed in the sauna for about 10 mins and I stayed in the steam room for about 5 mins. The sauna is very small but manageable. There were 3 men in there when I entered. I appreciate that there is a camera inside incase of any emergencies. The steam room is a bit bigger which felt nice. It feels good to be spaced out between people. TIPS -- I recommend bringing a towel to sit on while you're in the Sauna and Steam room. Bring a water bottle too. Also, bring a padlock and key to lock your bag and clothes in the changing room (locker room). I didn't bring a lock because I didn't realize that I would need one so I carried my wallet with me while I used the gym and sauna. Now that it is winter as I'm writing this review, I want to return to the sauna and steam room. The whole gym and pool/sauna area gets very crowded so I recommend that you arrive early. Also, I noticed that some floors were not very clean as I walked around the pool/sauna area. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 34/365 total reviews in 2025 - 815 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 5 February 2025

My one child went there again for a field trip (after I assumed a different location therefore a better experience and lights staying on) and once again they were up in the play area and the lights went off again. No warning no nothing. This is reckless and dangerous for the kids to be playing they could fall in one of the holes.

Lived here over 20 years, I've seen this city pay employees Hugh sums of money with great health care packages. They in turn never return calls, and when they do they give you attitude. The city council is a pure clown circus. If you want a good workout go to Middleburg Hts. Brookpark is no better than Cleveland. They have truly raped this city for any future growth. I like many people are fleeing from this toxic city.

Awesome place for kids to play!…read more We took 5 kids to play for a birthday celebration and they had a great time. The staff was great getting us checked in. They give you a bin to put your shoes in to keep the floors from being cluttered. Lots of tables and chairs for the adults to watch. They have a gate so the kids can't leave without an adult. The kids loved all the different themed play areas from giant building blocks, slides, soccer area, climbing areas. Even adults are welcome to join in the fun. They even have a small Toto's area for kids in diapers. I enjoyed that the staff let the kids play but we're still attentive in making sure rules were being followed.

My children approved of the playground and what seemed to them to be a limitless number of swings. It's pretty clean for a park, there wasn't any trash littered everywhere and there is a port-a-potty available for use next to the playground area if you have a little one that absolutely can't wait till you get home.

Or stay and play with your child. Many fun areas. Ball pit, jump house, trampolines, climbing areas, dress up items, play kitchen, many riding toys. Also a smaller fenced in area for 3 year olds and younger. Lots of variety. It was a weekday afternoon when we went. Not super crowded. All in all a fun place for kids to run and play. The negative is, I would never suggest leaving your kids alone there. The supervision is lacking to nonexistent. I couldn't tell if it was just the cashier there alone, or if someone was helping her. She spent the entire time talking to another woman. Not one person was even watching the kids. No one ever walked around. The cashier's small son was there. And he was an uncontrolled kid. Running around, very wild. So while it is a fun place. I would say to never leave your kids there alone.

My kids are obsessed!!! Haven't seen them smile this big in a long time. Highly recommendread more
