When that is too busy or I have my kids with me, I use the 25 meter/yard therapy pool. At the time of this review, I have been paying for 3 visits at a time-- am not paying for the year. This is first and foremost a pool for lap swimming and swimming lessons. The gym is secondary and small. The playground is open to everyone but still managed by Greenville County. The last time I was there, one slide was broken/taped off. The schedule for use of the two pools is posted every week online. If you don't check that schedule, you may arrive to find the facility having a swim meet or closed. Over the years, the schedule has improved in its readability. Remember that if lightning is in the area, they have a (45 minute?) pause on swimming. That could close the facility early. They occasionally have a new person working the front but the facility is usually managed very well. For a person new to the community, just ask for help-- its a big facility.

Bleachers were well spaced with sufficient handrails to help you feel secure as you ascended the steps. I only saw one aspect of the center so can't really give a good perspective. It was a cold, rainy day but this place was TOASTY! Toasty enough that I quickly shed my rainwear and then my light jacket. And that's about all I can report.

Granted I moved right as the first lockdown occurred and society was cautious concerning human interaction, but I should have taken advantage of this resource sooner. I will start by clarifying that the community center attached to the Park has not been open since at least 2020. I was told by one commissioner that it is unable to be reopened until structural repairs are made to the building. This, much to the dismay of my neighborhood, includes the adjoining swimming pool. But hopefully that will all be taken care of soon. Also, the children's area is not particularly where I find myself enjoying time here. Instead, the baseball field, walking track, and basketball court are where I have recently found respite. The baseball field is mostly grass at this point so it serves as a almost completely secure space for my three dogs to run around. I know that's not the original purpose, but for now that is how I use it. The walking track is not quite a quarter mile, but close enough that 5 laps will get you there. I am sure parents/guardians appreciate that it encompasses the playground so they can watch their children play while getting in some exercise. I prefer mornings if I am putting in a few laps, due to the quiet and the lower temperature. The basketball court is technically four, all parallel. This provides an adequate number of hoops for those who want a full game and those who just want to work on their free throw. As for me, it serves as a spot to work on my three pointer (ugly, but effective). I have yet to use the pavilion, which is covered and has two grills with tables and benches, but the next time I plan a larger gathering of friends that will be the spot. Parking is ample and the Parks & Rec Department does a great job keeping the area clean and mowed. Also, it is only three blocks from downtown! So if you are ever in the area, stop by and unwind. That's what it's for.

Ok... this was not a good sign, but decided to go on a day pass and check it out. Their website says $10 a person for a day pass. Thought we'd go check it out, see if it would be something we'd be interested in joining for the rest of the year and maybe next year. Drove all the way up there, and no one was at the locked gate. People were swimming, the lifeguards can see us. There is a table where someone is supposed to be sitting to take your money. Waited...waited... waited. After waiting awkwardly for 15 minutes, while everyone is staring at you from the pool, still no one came. Waste of my time, very aggravating. Poorly managed. Update your website with accurate information, and freaking have people there! Pool looked small anyway, and right down the street is Discovery Island... so... yeah.
