Try to overlook the patched sidewalk and tired interior and focus on the beautiful aqua water and friendly staff. This club features Silver sneakers classes and is a good gym for seniors. My hope is that with increased membership, the new managers will spruce the place up.

Kathleen you are bad at your job…read more I sent an email to cancel my membership because I was moving. Kathleen would not process the cancellation and asked for proof that I was moving. Excuse Me? I don't have a contract and I was told I could cancel at any time. I called in and spoke with an actual professional employee who processed my request. Thanks Matt!

Very modern architecture. The curves bounce the sound and keep the noise level up. It's a small…read morerink. There are really no bad seats - personally I think the standing room only tickets provide a really nice view. We were lucky enough to get second row seats but part of being so far forward was the disadvantage of an obstructed view of some of the far-side of the rink. It would be nice if they got a Jumbotron so you could see instant replays of the goals. Overall, pretty solid rink for a small school. I guess I am used to bigger stadiums such as Michigan Yost arena.

What makes this rink so wonderful is the cool design of the building, the rink is always pristine, the locker rooms are huge and well kept, and the staff is top-notch. If your interested in joining the Yale Figure Skating Club, check out the website (http://bit.ly/1kmDdvv). Also check out the men's (http://bit.ly/V1uGCl) and women's (http://bit.ly/1sc7yzL) hockey schedule to catch a game during the season. They are kind of a big deal (I'm talking championship team), so get your tickets early.

Great spot for lessons or just to free skate to good music. Ice skating 101- make sure you have all…read moreyour winter gear on (hats,jacket, gloves, double socks) even though it's indoors.. This was my first time, I came so unprepared and my feet and hands were cramping of the cold by the end of it all. Nonetheless, we had a great time. Few hours every Sunday afternoon are scheduled for public skating (look up calendar)... was quite reasonably priced @ $10 (including skate rentals) for 1.5hrs. A good winter activity for kids to burn all that energy. They have milk crates to lean on for beginners which I relied on heavily else I'm quite certain I'd break a hip. Gladly it wasn't too crowded. What fun! we'll be back next week and I'll surely sign up for lessons next year.

It all comes down to how you make ice. Leave it to a well-funded private university to provide such an exceptional product. It's some of the best ice in the state. Credit the brand new Zamboni, as well as those who know how to use it. Even the pegs they use to keep the nets on are more intelligently designed, and do a better job of anchoring 100 pounds of wrought iron to a freshly cut surface. Not like any of this makes me a better hockey player... The Freeman also includes a natatorium, a basketball court, and a big indoor astroturf facility for track, football, lacrosse, soccer, etc. All the venues are cleverly mashed together into a single sports megaplex. The plaque reads "1990," which makes me me think, "Hey, this place is really new!" Then I realize that was nearly a quarter century ago... I'm aging.

The ice here is a joke (the water takes forever to freeze after the Zamboni does its pass -…read moreprobably because their compressors don't work properly or they're not running them at the correct power), the area near the Zamboni doors on both rinks is low and dangerous for skaters as their blades can get stuck in the rut, the bathrooms are terrible, and the stands are dirty. What can you expect when Black Bear owns the rink as they're certainly not going to invest what's necessary to make it safe for those that use the ice.
