I can't say much about the community center as a whole, so I don't want to leave one star because…read moreof that, but the bowling alley is not a place I'd want to go back to. The workers are so rude and they spent most of the time while we were bowling just watching us like we were doing something wrong (even though there were plenty of other families there, they spent the most time watching us and all we were trying to do is have little family bowling trip). I think they are not very family-friendly and definitely don't like babies (1-2). They were also rude to us for having sippy cups and said we couldn't have those unless we were at a table. Sippy cups now like come on. Like do you expect us to bring the babies over to the table everytime they want a drink. If the staff were replaced it could possibly be a better place to go to.

Amazing place, amazing views, and beautiful destination. Be sure to check out all the local…read moreeateries.

Overall this is a nice pool. They don't do pool checks & make everyone get out of the pool like…read moremost public pools. They also allow coolers which is great. My reason for 3 stars is because they don't allow you to bring a float. There's also no chairs, so you have to bring your own or lay in the grass. I love to float around on my float on a hot summer day. It's too hot to lay in the grass to try to get a tan. Really, really wish they'd allow floats!

It's been over 8 years since my first visit to Allen Jones and my fourth high level swim meet. An…read moreupdate seems appropriate although nothing has really changed. Parking continues to be a challenge for visitors. The closest areas are reserved for faculty and students. There is some designated off street parking, read the signs closely. Recommendation is drop off by family or friend. Also Uber/Lyft services. The facility itself continues to be well maintained and is used as the primary pool and diving well for The University of Tennessee swim team. The exterior windows and seals needed a good cleaning was noticed. The TYR Pro Swim a USA Swimming event held January 2020 went off without a hitch. The local club host did a fantastic job. Great city and was excited to return to Knoxville and Allen Jones.

I was the family photographer. I certainly had lots to photograph! There was ever a great rock to lean against for taking pictures. My suggestion is that you bring along a change of clothes, wet shoes, snacks, a camera, sunscreen and life jackets for the little ones. I forgot my wet shoes and my son forgot a change of clothes. There is a rest room where you can change clothes. There are also lifeguards until 5 PM. They stayed open after 5, but did not charge admission. When we return we will go later in the afternoon. The lines are shorter and after 5 you don't have to pay the $5 per person admission charge. I definitely will return when we visit the area again. We enjoyed a great time!
