We recently got a membership at The Epic, and we love it…read more It is conveniently located for us and not very busy during the time we are able to get here. There are also a lot of other things to do in this are now, so before or after we can go to the Epic Indoor Water Park or go play pickle ball at Chicken N Pickle. Great walking/running track inside. Lots of work out equipment/machines. Cross fit and other group fitness classes. Open basketball courts. Rooms for your company to have meetings in or to have a birthday party in. There are also art classes and a recording studio, just to list a couple other things you can take advantage of. Staff is really nice and helpful. Lots of parking as well. Get a membership here and take advantage of the many things you can do here. Support your city facilities to help better yourself!

We recently joined The Epic, switching from another local gym, for the indoor swimming & kids…read moreactivities. Our only complaints, some staff are unable to answer our questions & point us to the website, which wasn't able to answer our question to start with... for example, one of the main reasons we joined, after visiting in person, was the summer camp. We went home to join & register online, as was suggested by staff (versus registering in person at the facility), to find out the summer camps were already full. You can't tell that the camps are full online, until you've already purchased a membership. Staff should have had knowledge of camps being at full capacity & been able to tell us that information during our tour of the facility. A plus for us, the family swim hours, swim lessons, & family changing areas. We also love the indoor walking track.

We live just a few miles from the park. It's a wonderful place to walk, bbq swim and boat. There is…read morea beach, may picnic areas with grills and plenty of walking trails. Best place to take the dogs for walks. It's free for residents of Grand Prairie. Just show you license at the booth and you're good to go. If you don't have a resident of GP with you it's $20 for a one time entry day pass. It's more on holidays and not free to residents.

Nice outdoor area for family summer fun. There are covered picnic tables, a sand volleyball area, a…read moresandy beach, playgrounds, clean restroom/changing areas, concessions, and more. My son loved swimming in the lake. It was very clean and there was plenty of shade to escape the Texas sun. I highly recommend. Admission is $15 per car, or FREE for Grand Prairie residents.

This is great place to work out! It had no pool but that's ok it is clean and friendly. The…read moremorning crew are two great ladies, that help you out with whatever you need. You must have a membership in order to work out here, which means you must live in Arlington, or the surrounding areas. So if you do it is very minimum, and you must pay a monthy dues depending on what you want to do, whether it be weights, yoga martial arts or all of the above. I just love it here and I know you will too.

For a city recreation center, this is pretty nice. There are several different types of machines…read morethat you can work out on. The weight room is small, but I can usually get on all of the equipment that I need. Equipment does break down, but they usually are quick to repair it. There are fun activities for children of all ages. I quit taking fitness classes for several reasons. I was in one class where the instructor yelled into her headset with a thick Southern drawl. I couldn't understand what she was saying. In another class that was supposed to be designed for seniors, the instructor told us to do things that seniors should not do. (According to several physical therapists) All of the employees have been very polite. My favorite employee is Rosa.

We had the BEST TIME! There was plenty of time, plenty of stuff to break, and plenty of frustration…read morethat was dealt with lol We will definitely be back!

This review is solely for the swimming area, classes, and open swim…read more Been taking our kids to swimming classes here for years. Started with parent and tot and now they're on their own in a group setting. They've been advancing appropriately and it's been a great experience. Prices are sign up are easy to find on the website. The facility, locker rooms, restrooms, showers all top notch. Lifeguards are always on top of things. Swimming trainers are great, give updates at the end of every class of how our children are doing. I don't remember all their names but Alyx has been amazing every time she has been a teacher for our child. They're patient and kind and make our kids as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended.

This was such a cool place! Waterfalls in a concrete, urban garden…read more Be sure to get over to the fountain side as well. You can walk down into the garden, but be careful as the steps are narrow and can get wet/slippery. Great stop!

My review is only for the afterschool care program…read more Our 9 year old really loves going to day care here. It's not a fancy facility by any means, but the counselors are great and he's never bored. They have homework time and play time in the afternoons which is sometimes indoors, sometimes at the park next door. The price cannot be beat either; it's about half what any private facility would charge. If we didn't like Dottie Lynn I'd pay more to have him go somewhere else, but he's very happy here and I trust the staff. -- if you're looking at Dottie Lynn for other reasons such as the gym etc. I cannot really comment, but the facility in general is relatively old and not fancy - so I suspect they aren't a state of the art workout facility.
