Okay Landover! This community center is right near where my friend just moved to a few years ago…read more After a day of working at his place, he wanted to work out, and invited me to join him at his local gym in this community center. I had no idea what to expect as I had never been! We were able to walk from his spot -- a good 10-15 minute walk I'd say. It also happened to be Early Voting day, so we saw plenty of signs on our way in. Once inside, I saw a sign for all these classes they have, including swimming, tennis, archery, dance... it's quite the variety! I also saw a bunch of rooms down the hall, which I imagine are used for a myriad of activities. We had to check in at the desk, and then we made our way to the gym. It's got everything you need -- TVs that occasionally play music (someone was blasting go-go on a bluetooth speaker, that was fine lol), plenty of treadmills and other cardio machines, plenty of dumbbells, and machines targeting specific muscle groups. My friend and I were there for a good 90 minutes or so, so it definitely had everything we needed. In fact, I'm still pretty sore now! It's great for the locals, and I believe it's ~$120 for a full year's membership. Not bad when comparing to most other places! If you happen to be in the area, give it a shot.

This new, small community center in Hyattsville (Landover, off 202) is the best thing going! It…read morejust opened in October 2016, and offers a beautiful, small gym, fitness classes, meeting spaces, and probably more things that I missed. I love that they feature artwork from local youth, and the kids seem to be using it well. The parking here is super easy, and not crowded. It's nestled in a neighborhood of apartments, so there are always kids playing here. I love the vibe. I'll be back for more classes, for sure.

You have to sign in to use that facility but the staff was friendly and it's no big deal. As a parent I also appreciated that you have to enter a gate and it's a little bit outside (or inside, rather) the rest of the neighborhood. Great place to host an outdoor birthday party.

The…read moreparking lot was very congested and traffic was awful since there was no visible signs to direct the flow of traffic since both the entrance and the exit are together ... you can either use the rear side or the front side. I'm not sure if the staff is accustomed to handling large crowds because things seemed a bit unorganized. An older lady working at the desk seemed to move in a very slow pace and the line was very backed up. The area where the performance took place was pretty spacious and clean. I believe this community center is a great venue to host an event (birthday party, wedding reception, etc.,) I don't think it's accustom to handling large events but may evolve.

I have been visiting this facility for about 3 years as part of the Goombay volleyball league and I…read morewill say the customer service has taken a huge decline since we first started participating. Initially, the female manager was very welcoming and flexible with our group. We never had issues with scheduling the facility or with customer service. Since she was transferred, we have run into a lot of headaches. The staff since then and especially now are extremely rude. They don't greet people as they walk and when they do engage with us they are usually rude and unfriendly. We have had mulriple scheduling conflicts after signing a contract and confirming our league and have been forced to make last minute postponements in our schedule. The faciliry itself is not the best for two side by aide volleyball courts either. The courts run right up to the wall on one side and the bleachers on the other which make it difficult to have enough space to serve. The basketball hoops also do not rise all the way up on both courts and often times interfere with game play. I hope the league finds another more suitable facility with much better customer service for future play.

What a great recreation center! Parts of it are outdated like the entrance and check-in area to the…read morepool, but overall, it's an excellent recreational center. Here's why. 1) Indoor Pool: The indoor pool is kept clean and is pretty big with half of the pool shallow for kids to play in with splash areas and a water slide. The other half is laned for adults to swim. There are always lifeguards there and the space provides life jackets for kids and adults if needed. There are changing rooms with lockers too. 2) Amenities: Inside is a gym with treadmills, weights, and more, and other rooms for classes, etc. With a permit, you can rent their multi-purpose room for birthday parties and it comes with a small kitchen connected to the room. Inside are murals of the neighborhood by local artists. Outside is a field, a rocket ship-themed playground, a statue of a dap, and a field. 3) Parking: Free street parking is easy to find just outside the rec center. 4) Staff: I always find the staff to be friendly and reasonable. They are great!

Also full length mirrors and good lighting so the gym selfies are always popping. My friends go to the indoor pool and they love it and when I pooped my head inside the gym, it looks pretty nice too. The facilities are super clean and the staff (that I've encountered) is really nice. They've really done a nice job updating this center. It's also free with a dc license so enjoy your tax dollars at work!
