There are gaps in the fences, so the balls can roll out, and there is minimal and bare options for seating in a shady spot to view matches. IMHO, properly fix the courts and the club would be a winner, and more people would sign up for a tennis membership, including me!

The deck is poorly maintained(looks like it is black---but is not black,; there are small chunks of concrete separating leaving gaps where people walk), He ALLOWS the kids(especially the older ones) to do whatever they want in the pool( which can be dangerous; especially for little ones) When asked "What are the rules., Larry? He replied there are no rules; He did try to make it sound as a joke. . I did not think it was funny. I personally got beaned by a tennis ball IN THE POOL, and I am not the only one. It really is a shame. Only time before someone gets hurt.

Cheltenham has high school and property tax rates. Although I was well past school age when we moved here the schools consistently get good reviews in the various reviews. The snow gets cleared, we have good volunteer fire services and the cops are decent - I even got off for a flagrant violation once I think in equal parts due to my sparse gray hair and my address in Cheltenham. Since then I've been good on the roads! Something else our high taxes buy is is a wonderful library system (3 or 4 I believe) and great parks and recreation. We live between the two pools here - Conklin and the Glenside pool. The Conklin pool is bigger and has it's own parking as well as an on site ice cream truck that the woman who ran the snack bar have upgraded to for 2014. They also have pizza and other foods as well as sweets. The best part of Conklin is the cool crystal clear water. Loads of it! Nice steps so when one feels like slow immersion that's an option. Twin diving boards and deeper sections for those occasions when rapid cooling is imperative. Skilled life guards who jump into action fast - even if a guy horsing around with his companions says 'help' they leap into action rather then waiting to assess the situation from the deck. Sometimes nostalgic, sometimes annoying calls of marco ... polo and a range of races and ages that spans the globe joining you in the pool, moms drying tots with huge towels and teens on towels up hill 'sunbathing' If you live in Cheltenham it's not too costly to get in and if you don't live here well, we're a friendly bunch in Cheltenaham so make a new friend. BTW, nothing wrong with the Glenside pool - i's just smaller and harder to park at - if you have kids Glenside has nice slides to enjoy. Both pools are adjacent to playgrounds and picnic areas with grills.

Conklin Pool is one of two pools operated by Cheltenham Township, the other being the Glenside…read morePool. Pool memberships are available only to township residents, although non-residents may use the pool as the guest of a resident. Compared to the Glenside Pool, Conklin has bigger grounds, and a private parking lot, where Glenside has only on-street parking. The atmosphere at the pool is relatively mellow and family-oriented. Although there are many kids, most are there with their parents, so they aren't too obnoxious. The lifeguards call Adult Swim for 15 minutes once an hour in the main pool, which I've never seen at the Glenside Pool. One thing that bothered me was that at the baby pool I watched two different lifeguards letting themselves get very distracted for extended periods of time. If you see this, I encourage you to mention it to a supervisor, because it is really too important to shrug off.

Why go to the beach to do the same thing we would do at the pool? People are allowed to bring their lunches in with them. They do have a concession stand with ice cream, chips, hotdogs, pizza, and pretzels. When there is bad weather in the forecast they will shut down the pool. One time we came here and it was thundering over 10 miles away, but because we could hear it they ordered everyone out of the water. Better safe than sorry I guess. I wish adult swim was longer than 15 minutes. Some of the lifeguards do a good job making sure the kids are behaving and following the rules, while others seem hesitant to say anything. I had come here one time and a group of 5 kids was standing in front of the diving board the moment adult swim started. They just had to be first in line the moment kids swim started again. But it just seemed silly, because adult swim just started and they had 15 minutes to find something else to do. It was getting annoying having to ask them to move out of the way so adults can dive off the diving board. I notice a lot of bugs in the grass under the trees. Fleas and mosquitos. So be careful before bringing your towels and equipment back inside your home. I also want to mention the guest fees went up in price significantly in the past year. They used to be $5 now it's $10. You can only pay with CASH. So, come prepared.

Cressmont Pool is a neighborhood swimming pool. Memberships can be bought from Abington Township…read more There are essentially three pools. There's a baby pool with a slide. There is a kids pool, which ranges from 2 feet to 3 1/2 feet. There's also a third large pool with swimming lanes, and a diving area of 11 feet. The deep end also contains two waterslides and a particularly bouncy diving board. I had no idea this existed around here. What a gem!

The environment is incredibly welcoming and family-friendly, which makes it comfortable for people of all ages and fitness levels. The facility itself is top-tier, with a very spacious workout area that never feels overcrowded. I also love the variety of amenities, especially the indoor and outdoor swimming pools--they're always clean, well-maintained, and a great addition to my routine. One of my favorite parts of the gym is the cycle class. Clarence, the instructor, is absolutely amazing. His energy, motivation, and ability to push everyone to do their very best truly sets him apart. He creates an encouraging atmosphere while still challenging you to go beyond your limits, and every class feels both rewarding and empowering. Overall, Life Time Fitness in Fort Washington is an outstanding gym, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive, high-quality fitness environment.

I had been happily attending until a series of negative events caused me to cancel my membership…read more It started with my nephew who had been involved in kids Academy, and wound up breaking his arm there. He reported, slipping and falling on something wet, which leads me to believe that the facilities weren't being properly monitored for cleanliness and safety around children. The following week, my son fell in his lip was busted, but the team in charge of kids academy really had no explanation as to how that happened either. Finally, in an attempt to relax recently, I chose to enjoy the steam room and hot tub on site. Both rooms had mold on the floor, and when I went to take a shower, I found that someone had detangled their hair and smeared it on the wall of the shower and that no one had bothered to clean it up. At over $200 a month for the membership you would expect that maintenance will be available and that I would not have had hair balls flying at me when I tried to get in the shower, but that is not the case. I reported this issue to the front desk and they gave me the email address to their manager. Unfortunately, I was given the wrong email address and the email bounced back. I copied the overarching Life Time email address in my communication and all I received was an automated email saying that my membership has been canceled. No acknowledgment of my experiences there. Extremely disappointing.

Be careful with this company…read more We switched to EVO Pools a few years ago because we needed a reliable pool service to open and close our pool. They are a local company as well and seemed reasonable the first year. Last summer, we had them open and clean the pool. They showed on time and communicated arrival. When they arrived, many of the workers (while friendly) don't speak English and so there are a few language barriers during the process. Many times the workers will just instruct to call the office to discuss any questions or next steps. So, asking them about their process or what should expect is futile. A day after they left, the pool was not clean (debris at the bottom and algae on the walls). I called and emailed and the response was that it may take a few times to clean the pool for it to be truly clean. And they would come back "for a charge" to clean it again. What?? And honestly, if I didn't pay A LOT of money to open, I wouldn't have been that upset. So, I simply remembered that I would need to add a cleaning next year and worked to get the pool clean on my own. We used them again this summer, but this time I ordered a cleaning with the opening (as a separate item to which they charged me an hourly rate). The pool reps came (same workers) opened the pool and cleaned it. They let us know that someone would be back for the full cleaning a day later. GREAT! They came back a day later (I was charged 1.5 hours) and cleaned the pool. When they left that day, there was still algae and other sediments in the pool. My husband and I thought this would be cleaned by our filter, expecting that the walls and floor were scrubbed and this is what caused the cloudiness in the water. Two days later when the water cleared, there was still algae on the walls, floors, and around the lights. I reached out to express my concern and the response was "it may take more than a few cleanings" and they were happy to come back out and CHARGE ME AGAIN!!!! It was clear that the work/scrubbing of the pool walls, around the lights, in the creases of the stairs, etc wasn't done at the cleaning. We will never use EVO again. I give them 2 stars for communication because they do quickly respond and especially quick to tell me that they would happily come out and fix the issue at MY expense. And if you have money to burn, you could just have them come out 20 times to clean your pool until it's done and ready for the summer!!
