    While I've only been here once, I've been hearing about it for years from my better half and the…read morelittle squirts. We came on over after a coffee date with the kids and it's great spot to burn off some energy before bed! My exploration has been limited to the front play area with the delightful large frog. It's free to get in and the kids are able to run around and climb on stuff to make sleep come a little easier that evening! The other available activities include swimming, a track, ball courts and plenty of other rec center type stuff. We'll be frequenting anytime where in the area and need to run off a little energy.

    I purchased an annual couple's membership to access the gym equipment (no pool) for an extremely…read morereasonable price. You can purchase memberships that include the pool, too, but you can also just pay the daily pass if you use the pool sparingly. There is a diverse selection of weights and machines to choose from, as well as a well-kept track on the second level. I also really appreciate the placement of a number of mats throughout the space to allow for stretching and ground workouts. There are a few cubbies and coat racks available as you enter the second floor, which work perfectly for me to leave a few items. Locker rooms are also available on the first floor with locks for rent form the front desk (or just bring your own). The two gymnasiums are also clean and in good shape. Open gym times are posted at the front desk and online each week. You can also reserve the space rather simply. I've participated in Flag Football practice in the gym the past few weeks, and it was easy to navigate where to go.

    Years and years, multiple kiddo sports teams and swim lessons later-- this is still my Rec Center…read moreof choice in the Iowa City area. I stand by that the staff here is insanely helpful and courteous, as well. You can't go wrong with signing up your kiddo for: - SWIM LESSONS. The times are convenient, the staff is knowledgeable, pricing seems right. My only knock on this is you can't register online, only via the phone. - SUPREME LEAGUES. My children have participated in basketball and football leagues through the Coralville Rec and I can say from experience of signing up one season with another rec center in the area-- they do it best. Communication is on point. -FREE PARKING. The Iowa City Rec Center is a nightmare to park at most times. And honestly, the NL Rec Center (while it is free) is chaos as well. -SPARKS CAMP. This is hands down the best camp offered in the area. The price is right. It is offered ALL summer. They do field trips, pool visits, library days and tons of fun activities. The staff is always great, too. Be sure to sign up right away! It fills up fast around March. I think my biggest knock is just that the facility itself is pretty dated. Get your kid active and thriving, sign them up for programmed at the Coralville Rec Center.

    This place is more of a tennis/badminton/pickleball court facility for the community with some…read morestrength training options on the side than anything else. The tennis courts take up about half the gym & you have to walk behind an awkward curtain down a narrow path to get to the rest of the gym. There's a rock climbing wall with daily instruction (locked up when no instructor around). There are a few cardio machines & a decent weight rack. They did buy a few maces which I tend to use every time I'm there. They have a wall of Indian clubs & a tall rack of medicine balls, as well as a good spot to do TRX workouts off of a solid tower with multiple spots & heights to do pull-ups. The heavybag is pretty light & it's on a so-so stand that prevents movement around it for practicing technique & footwork. There's a small matted area for wrestling & jiu jitsu drills, but not much in the way of keeping it clean to avoid staff/MRSA/ring worm since people walk across it regularly. They have a lot of equipment behind the front desk that they'll loan out for your ID or keys. Boxing gloves, focus mitts, fencing jackets, skis, bikes, tents, tennis/badminton rackets, pickleball & ping pong paddles. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't seem to cater to the students at MUM, but to the senior citizens of the community or teachers. The locker room is small with 2 showers & is hotter & more humid than Hades in the summer months.

    I love going here..they have really made it nicer..great improvements…read more New lighting and better equipment, and new options
