They have a large pool area which is definitely the nicest of the YMCAs in the area. Their lifting/cardio area is on the smaller side, but all the equipment is very nice. It is pretty busy most the time (5:30am + 5:30pm crew), but depending on what you are working you should have a pleasant experience.

This is a nice center for exercising, getting the kids out or swimming…read more My husband and I took our son swimming for his 2nd birthday. We went with my sister who was a member. I don't know if you need to be with a member to go swimming but you did have to pay. An adult price was $10 and kids under 12 was $7. I thought that was a little steep for a 2 year old. I thought he would possibly be free because he would be with my husband. The facilities were nice. To get a locker you need to leave a drivers license. I thought that was a little much. Oh well. There were swim classes going on so ever so often, the small swimming area would be flooded by parents with their kids. The water sprayers were fun for the kids also. This place is fun especially during the cold months but I would hope for cheaper prices for small kids.

In my world, LGBT stands for Like Girls, Boys Too…read more Honestly I would give the LGBT community of anywhere a five star rating - especially since I am now officially one of them LOL. However what I really like about this particular society is that they are in an area full of hard-working blue-collar types that do not traditionally recognize or accept this kind of lifestyle or identity or human being. So they're doing good work in an area that needs it and they have all my support - as do any LGBT activists in the world. Of which of course I am one.

The parking lot is huge and there is no problem. The courts are well maintained. The space between courts is manageable. There is a stadium court with bleachers. We didn't play there.

As a Hempfield resident for 15 years I've had many interactions with the Rec Center. While I've…read morenever been a member, I've attended free classes when they were available, went on a bus trip they offered, had my daughter in the after school childcare program they run, as well as a dance class. More recently I've paid a per person daily fee to use the pool, although it does also allow you to use the entire facility. One thing I will say is it is aways crowded, no matter what time or where you are in the building. Classes fill up quick. Swimming classes are booked several months in advance, and the lot is always full. One thing that is disappointing, hence the 4 stars instead of 5 is the before/after school program. While when my daugher was in school it was available to any parent that needed it. Now, they have limited spots and no opening. My grandson has been on a wait list now since August and it's now Feb. That sucks for working parents! And it could very well be a sign of the times post covid, with employee shortages. The indoor pool is wonderful. I have yet, even after all these years been to the one outside in season but I'm sure it's equally as impressive. The indoor pool is large, and while you do need to check the schedule for free swim times, they do have it roped off for laps. I believe it goes to 13' and has a diving board. There's tables/chairs around the pool to put your stuff and a changing area in that area. There is also locker rooms down the hallway. The ladies has a dry sauna, showers, and a machine that rings out your suits. I especially like that pool toys, floats, and swim aids are allowed, as I take my three young grandchildren, none of which can swim. You do need to bring your own towels, etc. I do think the pricing is high for membership as well as a $10/per person daily rate if like me you just stop in to use the pool. The $10/pp was firm, even for my one grandson who is an infant. Still a great place to patronize. Check their website because they are very community minded and some of their special events do not require membership although they might have a small fee.

Spooky Nook Sports Complex in Spooky Nook PA is an impressive facility purely based on size alone…read more The complex is massive and at first glance it is hard not to be amazed by how much is packed into one location. There are countless courts fields and activity areas which makes it clear why this place attracts so many teams tournaments and large scale events. The variety of sports and amenities offered is a major positive. No matter what sport you are coming for there is a strong chance it is supported here. The layout allows for multiple games and events to run at the same time which is convenient for tournaments and families with kids participating in different activities. There are also food options and areas to sit which help when spending long days at the complex. That said the sheer size of the facility can also be a drawback. Navigating from one area to another can be overwhelming especially for first time visitors. Clearer signage and better wayfinding would make a big difference. It is easy to feel rushed or stressed trying to find the correct court or field on time particularly during busy weekends. Crowd management is another area that could use improvement. When events are in full swing the complex can feel extremely congested. Parking can be challenging and walking through crowded corridors with athletes spectators and equipment can become frustrating. The overall experience during peak hours feels chaotic rather than streamlined. The facility itself is functional but not always comfortable. Some areas feel worn and could benefit from better maintenance or updates especially considering the high volume of traffic the complex sees. Seating can be limited and not always ideal for spectators staying for extended periods of time. Overall Spooky Nook Sports Complex delivers on scale and opportunity but falls short in execution. It is an impressive venue with huge potential but the experience can feel overwhelming and tiring rather than enjoyable. With better organization improved navigation and attention to comfort it could easily earn a higher rating. For now it lands at a solid three stars.

It's great that you're also able to bring your own items if you want. Peeved at an ex? Take their old junk and smash it to your hearts desire. There are markers to write on objects as well, I wrote my wife's least favorite person on a plate and tossed it to her with a bat. Believe it or not she really did feel better! I believe we'll be making this a yearly thing. The owner is very nice as well and tries her best to keep it as affordable as possible. So do be respectful to the items she requests you not to hit, the more that's needed in furniture replacement the more the prices will go up. Overall I completely recommend getting some anger out here. Oh extra perk, she'll put on whatever style music you feel will help all the relief the most.
