[Note: this facility is multi-purposed. My review is about the fitness amenities (gym, locker…read morerooms, fitness room). There are also conference rooms, an auditorium and other event spaces here that I won't be discussing.] The City of Saint Paul owns and operates several recreation centers. I was looking for an indoor walking/running track and a fitness room and came across the "Saint Paul Getting Fit" program, through which I can buy a membership to use any of the facilities for--get this--$30 *annually* (http://www.stpaul.gov/index.aspx?NID=2940). Not per month, per year. So with the cold weather on its way, I went to my nearest recreation center, the Wellstone Center (also known as El Rio Vista Rec Center) and bought a membership. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. There was open gym going on for volleyball and basketball, as well as a big festival in the auditorium. She was handing out passes, taking gym fees, and helping me sign up for my membership, without so much as blinking. Do not hesitate to call the front desk line if you have questions, she will help you out. (Tangent: when I first heard about the Getting Fit program, I called the main St Paul Park & Rec office. The person I talked to didn't give me any information, and couldn't even tell me which Rec Centers had walking tracks. Very underwhelmed). The locker rooms are on the lower level. Small, but fine for my needs. It's BYO-Lock, and they do have small and larger lockers. There are also two shower stalls in the ladies locker room, for your reference. The fitness room is also on the lower level, and is fairly small. There were three ellipticals, two treadmills, a multi-function weight machine, two sets of free weights, two bars for bench press (one standard, one was a really cool self-spotting machine), and a couple other pieces of miscellaneous strength-training equipment. The treadmills are really nice--newer, with good options for programmed and manual work outs. As a cooldown, I went upstairs to use the walking track. Myself and the SO were the only ones using it on a Sunday afternoon. The track is smallish (11.5 laps = 1mile) and is probably only about 6 feet wide, but it does the trick. It's suspended over the gymnasiums, so I had a good time watching the local teens playing volleyball and basketball. Overall, I was very impressed with this facility for the price I paid to use it. Their fitness amenities don't have a ton of capacity, but there also aren't many people using it (There were 2 other people in the fitness room, and no one on the walking track). The facility is clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. And it's, overall, a fantastic amenity for the West Side community.

I find that they offer a variety of rooms and room sizes for rent, and they appear to set their prices at a reasonable rate. They offer assistance with setting up and with the A/V equipment as well. The location is easy to find and the parking is good, too. As far as other uses for the center, I understand they have really great fitness amenities and the membership here is very affordable.

I've already gone to a few haunted houses this season, but this one really took the cake. There's always something happening that keeps you on edge, and you never know what's coming next. For the price, it was totally worth it. I'm planning to bring my niece next time since she's really into haunted houses and anything scary. The line to get in was pretty long, but I liked how the staff made sure groups stayed spaced out so you didn't run into the people ahead of you. That made the whole thing feel more real. If you want a fun, scary night, this is the place to go. And if you're with a big group, split up so everyone can enjoy it. You won't be disappointed.

If you're looking for a well-maintained, hassle-free pickleball facility in the area, this is the place to go! TL;DR: Reliable, convenient, and well-priced pickleball courts with easy reservations and no hassles--definitely worth checking out!

I was really disappointed with my experience at Pickle in the Middle in Brooklyn Park…read more My group rented two courts--one for 4 hours and another for 2 hours. We were there to have fun while visiting Minnesota from Georgia. We were playing pickleball, cheering each other on, and enjoying the courts we paid for. About 2 1/2 hours into our reservation, a Caucasian couple came in to practice on another court. Shortly after, an employee approached our group and told us that the couple had left because we were "too loud." The employee also repeatedly reminded us that there should only be six people per court, even though that wasn't an issue and we weren't exceeding the court capacity. What really bothered me was being told that cheering during a game was somehow inappropriate. Pickleball is a social, energetic sport. If someone is looking for complete peace and quiet to practice, a shared indoor facility may not be the right environment. Expecting everyone else to stop celebrating or having fun on courts they reserved doesn't seem reasonable. The interaction left a bad impression. While I can't say for certain that race played a role, the way our group was singled out made us feel uncomfortable and unfairly targeted. It's not a great feeling when you're visiting from out of state, excited to enjoy a local business, only to leave feeling unwelcome. We paid for our court time, followed the rules, and simply wanted to enjoy the game. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled overshadowed what should have been a fun experience. I hope management takes a closer look at how customer concerns are addressed so that all groups are treated fairly and consistently.

Also, gun owner sessions last 2 hours; in my opinion, that's not quite enough time for the number of people having to take turns playing on the one field.

This field just isn't quite that for me. I would love to change the rating entirely if I see improvement from Splatball. Thanks for your time, get out and ball!
