If you're looking to get into shooting this is the best place to do it since you can rent several different guns and try them out before you buy them. They also have a good selection of guns and accessories that you can pick up or buy last minute if you forgot yours. The range is outdoors so the noise isn't as bad as shooting indoors and the area is shaded against the sun. I highly recommend this range to all level shooters!

I cannot emphasize enough that if you're in the market for a firearm or you want a fantastic concealed weapons course to get you your CCW permit for Florida And you're in Ocala or anywhere near you should stop in here. On occasion, they have CCW classes that are sponsored by the Marion County sheriffs office that do not cost you a dime. They also offer gunsmithing services.

The lifeguards, though young, are very professional and good at their jobs plus prompt to answer any questions. There's ample room for lap swimming plus a children's shallow kiddie pool and another shallow area for people to just splash around if not lap swimming--plus the diving well. Some reviewers have commented on high school swim teams coming here to practice: apparently the deal is for some to come here, some to Westside, some go to UF as well. Until the School Board builds its own aquatics facility (unlikely), that will probably be how things go. (Whereas Jacksonville high schools in contrast have their own swimming pools on site in many cases.) School swim teams need places to practice, so this is a logical solution and I don't see it as impinging much on other patrons. Other reviewers (here and elsewhere) have complained some kids are loud and disrespectful: I did not experience that, yeah, kids can be loud but all I encountered were very polite. The locker rooms: the men's locker room is indeed old, probably original. I did not find it dirty however. Unlike the renovated Westside (Cherry) Pool, it actually has enough lockers to accommodate for two swim teams--or probably more. That's important if you're having meets here. I don't think Westside with its renovations provides that level of locker room space. So, as a diver and swimmer, no complaints here. Yeah, it's not a brand new nor renovated facility but clean and well-run: it meets my criteria certainly.
