We used the center for a graduation party and it was so perfect. Everything was setup as we asked and it was affordable. Being able to use the kitchen, refrigerator, tea maker, and ice machine made it so much less stressful. All of the staff we very friendly & helpful. Would totally use them again in a heartbeat! read more

We are so fortunate to have this facility in Gladstone. I only use it for a few of its many, many services; but, balance yoga, day trips, exercise equipment, pickleball inside, senior card games, senior information gatherings, indoor swimming... and the list goes on. If you are not using this facility, you are missing a big part of living in Gladstone. Go by today and get a schedule of activities and take a tour. They honor silver sneakers and, if you don't use that, it's still inexpensive for the benefits offered. Major swim meets are occurring here quite frequently. Go, be entertained by some of the best young swimming talent in our area. read more

The ladies who work here are very rude. If you're actually trying to go to a good gym just get a membership at Olympic Gym it's down the road. I was yelled at for wearing a sports bra while there are guys wearing tank tops. If you're a young person go to Olympic, leave this place to the geriatrics read more

Gladstone community pool swimming coaches are a joke. Ive taken my kids to all the classes this summer, back to back bec they're not being instructed properly. Simply put - the swim coaches barely get wet. They stand in the water and ONLY tell your kids how to swim. Coaches do not show your kids how to do anything. Gladstone Pool is a SCAM! Beware! If your kid doesn't know how to swim, take their training elsewhere...Gladstone community pool is a complete waist of time. I would encourage to seek alternative pool for proper training. Most kids need taught by example. I never once seen an instructor actually do a back float, or front float, or any strokes. lazy instructors! If you want your kids to learn how to swim and get your moneys worth, then DO NOT TAKE them here! read more

This is the best pool facility in the entire metro! The facility is very clean and the staff is super friendly! Been going here since 2012!

Very unprofessional, rude staff. Equipment broken down and old. Parks and Rec program has terrible communication. They cancel and shorten programs frequently. Just end season instead of reschedule final games. Management makes excuses, doesn't respond or hold staff to account to problem-solve, be professional and communicate appropriately. Seems terrible management/oversight...especially for a 'Community Center'. Way off. Try Liberty or Park Hill. read more

I was just here for a baby shower, so I didn't really use the facility, but I'll say it looks pretty nice. I worked in a big community center for a few years in college and this one kind of reminded me of that. I think the pool area should be a bit more private would be my only "negative" observation. A window or two to peek through would be okay, but swimmers don't necessarily want to be on display to everyone that comes through the doors, especially if it's water aerobics or something like that. read more

Awesome facility with great pool, meeting rooms and workout area. The staff is outstanding!

Our family loves the Gladstone Community Center outdoor pool. That is the focus of my review. I have only been inside the community center building itself twice. The first time was for my 3rd grade daughter's field trip. The staff was friendly and professional. While a small group of kids took swim tests the rest got to play in another room with a slide and water playground. They had an absolute blast. The second time we got our family pass to the outdoor pool. I really like it that we each got our own picture I.D. That way, if my kids want to go with friends they can take their passes along and if I decide to go later with the baby I can. This is my first experience with a pool pass of any kind and I LOVE it! For our family of 5 who live outside Gladstone city limits the pass is a great deal at $145. That's NOT including the $10 discount for early birds. We missed that one...maybe next year. The pool itself is so great! There is a super fun play area/splash park that's great for children. It's surrounded by barriers so you can see if your munchkin goes in and out. Beware the 900 gallon bucket atop the play equipment! I thought I was out of the way not once, but TWICE and got soaked! ROFL The pool is zero entry with a shady seating area. It's perfect for new Mommies to congregate with the tiny ones. There are two fun slides and two diving boards, as well as lanes for swimming laps (which the Hubby loves). I love the Family friendly music they play in the background and the fact that you can bring your own snacks. Score! I also feel safe and confident with the 7 plus lifeguards they ALWAYS have on duty. They are vigilant and will not hesitate to blow their whistle to make a wayward kid (or adult) follow the rules. Before you go, note that they don't allow pool noodles, but they do allow certain toys like small balls and rings. The water is usually on the cold side and THAT is why there's no 5th star. I truly hate cold water. Other than that, it's perfect! read more

i agree the daycare time limit is annoying and you have to pay $1 to put them in it. YMCA doesn't have a time limit as long as the child care is open they can be there and they don't charge for it! they are really close to YMCA prices and there is only one facility you can use, there are multiple facilities you can use all over the united states if your a member of the YMCA. so why pay just as much for a gym that has less to offer!? i have had a ton of issues with this community center and some of the higher ups are VERY arrogant, i would steer clear of this place for sure!!!! read more

New from the ground up 2 or 3 years ago, this is an excellent facility. I've not been to an "event" here but the fitness center is just about perfect. 16 Nautilus weight machines, at least 8 each treadmills and elliptical trainers, 8 stationary bicycles, free weights, gorgeous basketball court, Olympic-sized lap pool, and another "leisure" pool. The whole place is always Immaculate! I live in Gladstone, so the membership fee is $28 per month, -$5 more per month for non-residents. The only drawback is I realize that some women prefer gyms where men are not present. There is a room with spin bicycles for classes, along with water aerobics and various other classes. Nice parking lot which is never full. I've never belonged to a gym before and this has been a very positive experience for me the last couple of years. Almost everyone on the staff is friendly and approachable, -mostly they let you alone unless you ask for assistance. Child care available after 8:30 a.m.. read more

Great facility! I would say this is the best facility in the KC area. 3 pools, great workout area, friendly staff and the place is always clean. I made the switch to join here last month and love it! read more

We love the Gladstone Community Center! The pools are awesome and never too crowded and the fitness center upstairs is perfect. Many machines to choose from, never any lines and the walking track is nice and open. The locker rooms are kept very clean and bright - I never worry about my safety or belongings while I'm at the gym. I really don't understand some of the other posts griping about the two hour child care limit. If you want to work out all day get a nanny! read more

i am only ok with 1 star because the facility itself is nice but i would really like to give it no stars after my experience here. like i said the building is nice and new but some of the things that bothered me was the child care is open from 5-8:30 but you can only have them in for two hours! so i really couldnt get in a really good work out, take a shower, get dressed and ready if i wanted to. i had to do my 2 hour workout and then pick up my sion and try to get ready in the family dressing room with a small child which is not fun. if its open, he should be able to be there and its only open for 3 1/2 hours anyway, thats not a terribly long time for a child to be in the day care. plus one month my auto-debit payment didnt go through for some reason or another and i got a letter stating that my membership had "Expired" and that they could no longer accept debit payments, that if i wanted my membership to continue that i would need to come in and arrange another form of payment. i talked with my husband and we decided not to go back, we could get a membership at the Y and have several facilities to use around town instead of just one and no time limit for the child care. but then even though they said they couldn't charge our card again they in fact did. i called and they said im not sure how you could have interpreted the letter that way. that in fact our membership was not "expired" but really on hold, and that they only meant they could no longer take debit card payments for that month, and that following months would still be charged. these people running this place know exactly what they are doing they made us think our membership was over and continued to charge us and took no responsibility for the obviously confusing and misleading letter. never never go here, they will cheat you out of your money. and there are far better gyms around kansas city. read more
