I've ridden past the Eastside Community Center on my scooter a few times but didn't find a purpose…read moreto go here until this past weekend. There was a Day of the Dead festival being held here that we saw from flyers around town. We swung by for a quick visit. We were very impressed with the community center with the walking track, swimming pool, conference rooms and other areas for kids to play such as video games and slides. As for the festival itself it was really cool and a fun cultural experience to have this time of the year. Lunch was served and there were dances and performances to honor the concept of the holiday. Fun first time experience at this community center!

Love this outdoor pool and little water park area in the summer. The facilities are well-kept, and…read morestaff were kind with safety in mind. My toddler son had a great time, especially in the shallow end of their pool, lazy river, and the splash zones. There are plenty of chairs around as well!

Omg what a gem and worth the drive. On the way out there u was like ok this neighborhood is…read morequestionable but when we got to the pool. My kids and neice were super pumped. The grounds were super neat, they have life vests of all sizes from infant to adult. There was a slide, a grassy area for additional seating, lawn chairs and it's perfect to host a birthday party. The session times were the perfect amount of time and it was inexpensive. The only thing in is the line is long but it moves. I can't wait to go next summer. I prefer it over wild waves any day. Cons: the lazy river I sustained an injury from because I was holding in the outside of my daughter's tube and my foot hit a large metal grate at the top.It hurt so so bad and I was limping after. When I came and told the staff they iced me up and wrapped up my toes. So that is something to definitely be careful of.

Only thing I would request is that they would at least add 30 more minutes to the swim time the one hour was too short and adding 30 minutes would make a big difference.

I attend their adult swim class and especially appreciate Asia, an instructor who pays attention to each individual and makes spot-on advice with friendly and supportive manners.

No deep end for lap swimming but you don't really need that. The only really weird thing is that you have to exit the dressing/changing room and walk down the (freezing!) public hallway to access the pool. Other than that, no complaints!

Took a chance on this swimming pool and was extremely disappointed by the excessively rude and…read moreunnecessarily disrespectful pool manager. This is the first time I have been to this establishment I live in Gig Harbor and my daughter and I go swimming there 3 times a week since she was 8 months old. She has passed the swim test at six other pools. My daughter asked the Lifeguard if she could go into the deep end to do jump and swim, the lifeguard said that she could be there if I was there with her. This area is 5 ft: deep my daughter can tread water and swim on front crawl and back crawl freely for over a year now. After jumping and swimming approximately 20 feet to the other end of the deep end with me about three feet away the pool manager rushed out and yelled at me "if she can't pass a swim test then she can't be over here" and quickly scolded the Lifeguard who had allowed us in without offering to do a swim test. How could you consider this appropriate behavior to treat your staff and to treat your customers? To any managers of this location who read this message do not contact me do not attempt to get me to remove this rating you absolutely deserve this one star rating.

The kids splash pad area used to actually have water in it a couple years ago, now it's dry and pretty boring. Also no concession stand anymore, just soda machines.... There's a free splash pad outside the pool area that's much better for younger kids!

Parking lots…read moreare always full, and too many transients outside - you'll most likely be worrying about your car the entire workout. Their open gym requires you pay for entrance for that day, but I've never been to an open gym where YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN BALL!!! ISNT THAT WHAT THE GYM IS SUPPOSED TO DO, PROVIDE THE BALL?! The saunas are always running and NEVER cleaned, the accumulated sweat from everyone that uses the sauna is what makes it smell so bad (definitely has to be what caused the mold that other time). Why can't they have another location further south like Graham or something?

My family loves this pool! We have gone a few times this summer and my husband, 2 year old and I…read morehave always had a great time. They have a splash pad/very shallow area for the littles, 2 different sections of deeper water, the DEEP area where they alternate diving and free swim and a whirlpool. The pool is heated which can be a little weird on hot days but was mostly fine. My parents would have loved it since they get cold easily. Our little one was allowed to go in either in her floaties or in our arms. The locker rooms were clean and large and I appreciated the family rooms that are available. I only wish we lived in Fircrest so we could get a discount to use it but we love it all the same!

I competed at the King County Aquatic Center (K-C-A-C) during high school as part of my school's…read moreGirls Water Polo team. The diving pool and main pool that we competed in were all deep. In Water Polo this means no rest during a game because there is no ground within reach to stand on. Games here were thoroughly taxing in terms of physical exertion. Bleachers/seating overlook the pool and are well-tiered so that one can see the action in the pool pretty easily and the athletes are not too far away. The locker rooms are a bit on the small size for how big the pool(s) are/facility is, but in my experience they have been well maintained. Water temperature here was kept lower than other pools I have competed at. Specifically the temperature hovered around 78-79 degrees Fahrenheit in the main pool, it was slightly warmer in the diving pool/dive tank. Most of the pools I have swam at have been kept at about 81-85 degrees Fahrenheit, so swimming and competing in the pools here meant moving fast to stay warm. I did turn black and blue I got so cold some times though. One perk of this was getting to crank the heat in the car on the way home to get warm again after the water polo games.

There's two entrances to the SERA parks and I was directed to the athletic fields first. Go down a little ways past that turn, and you'll see the spray park. Lots of parking. Not shaded though, so prepare for a hot car when you're leaving. This place is awesome for toddlers. The spray park is pretty big and there's a bunch of water features. Some weren't on for some reason, but I'd say about 90% of them were. Most of them weren't too intense for my daughter, and the only one she steered clear of was the bucket dumping one. That probably wouldn't wiped all 18 pounds of her out. Off to the side of the spray park there's a brand new playground (or it looks to be). It was too hot to play on the day that we were there, but I definitely plan on coming back with my kids on a more mild day so they can enjoy that part of the park too. Bathrooms on-site that also looked new. Not a ton of shade here, mostly just from the trees, so be prepared to bring your own or snag a spot under the limited tree spots. Picnic tables also available. Recommend if you're looking for a free spot to keep your kids cool!
