We found it difficult to enjoy due to the large amount of people occupying the pools. We went in the middle of the week so I can't imagine what the weekend must be like. Additionally, the women's changing room was disgusting. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in 10+ years. Will not be coming back again.

We took some friends, and I think it was four or six dollars per kid. Adults were a little bit more, but five kids and two adults was something around $30 give or take. Very reasonable for the next couple of hours! They have lots of seating, but getting there early, makes it more likely that you will be able to find, a spot you're looking for. They have lots of tables, chairs, and umbrellas that are available, but again it definitely serves you to be there a bit early. We played around for a couple hours, and it looked like they have different swim sessions throughout the week. It made for, a lovely afternoon and was a nice, relatively inexpensive, change from normal. We will definitely be back!

Amazing and fun but they need to add Big and fast waterslides but overall 5 stars. I recommend this…read moreplace

Ellensburg Water Fitness, Memorial Pool…read more Having just turned 60, I decided to replace my existing strenuous exercise of "NONE" with three evening classes of water fitness a week. The teacher, Kim Grant, is the Real Deal. She is a Force of Nature. Her class is serious exercise expertly designed for the water. Call it "water aerobics" at your own peril: Kim's approach uses the resistance of water to build strength, endurance, and fitness. It's also part movement, muscle toning, exercise philosophy -- and music appreciation! With over 20+ years of experience Kim has developed hundreds of completely original and highly inventive methods of teaching water fitness that take full advantage of what the pool environment has to offer. When I say "hundreds" I'm not kidding: in the 20 classes since I began, there hasn't been one class that is a "repeat." Sure, there are a handful of basic routines that I'm only now getting somewhat proficient at, but each class integrates the familiar with novel moves that will leave you surprised you still have muscles that (apparently) have never been exercised. Often, the class has a "theme". For example, one recent class focused on lower body. Another was a "deep water" class, where we used water weights and the exercises required that our feet did not touch the bottom of the pool. The goal of one class was to not get any water on our face or hair -- we needed to keep our core tight and controlled. For many evening classes, the overhead lights are turned off, leaving the underwater lights to suffused the pool with a calming glow. Every class is a fresh experience -- NEVER boring! Every class has a new soundtrack. Kim teaches 4 daytime classes and 3 evening classes each week, and every one has a different playlist, usually crafted that day. I'm told she hasn't repeated a playlist in 20 years. Her taste in music is broad and encyclopedic, and I frequently discover new artists or remarkable covers of songs and request her playlist, which she is happy to provide. Every class ends with around 7 minutes of warm-down exercises and stretches that feel SO GOOD after going full tilt for 50+ minutes. The class is approximately 90% women and many of these ladies are older than me and have seriously toned muscles. Several have been in this class for 10+ years! All appear to be in excellent aerobic shape and easily outpace me -- I can barely keep up with them! Kim is a teacher with deep concern for her students. She somehow manages to guide not only the inexperienced students (like ME) but also the students with 10+ years that need a refresher on technique. Kim works hardest of all, always pushing her own limits and asking her students to challenge themselves and consider "what they need" from a particular exercise and "what they want to get out of each class." Above all, Kim genuinely has FUN teaching, and her attitude is infectious. If you have always thought about improving your health and (likely) extending your life, this is a great way to do that. Just come expecting to work!

Diving board in the deep end (12' at its deepest) and 2 lanes for lap swimming. The free swim area is fun for kids and grown ups, and there's a separate 2'6" kiddie pool.

On the hot days of summer, Howard Hopkins Memorial Pool is a great place to come and swim a few…read morelaps or splash around as an individual or a family/group. During August and September, especially, when temps are in the 90s and 100s (degrees Fahrenheit) the pool is a perfect reprieve from the heat. The perfect recipe here is the hot days that are also windy. Because the pool is at the base of the Cascade Mountains it doesn't get as much natural airflow/wind normally. However, on the windy and hot days, the wind provides a cooling mechanism while sitting out on a lawn chair on the pool deck. There are some parking spots reserved for patrons of the pool in a parking lot bordering the pool. The rest of the lot is open to everyone, so it can get a bit crammed during the summer and on busy days during prime-time tourism season in Leavenworth. If staying not too far from the pool, I would recommend walking if possible.

Our five year olds loved it for playing, but one of us adults disliked the lap pool. We'd definitely come back. Pros: -inexpensive, $6 per non-resident, babies free -the water is warm, we were told the water is 86 degrees by 6am -an entire kids play area with a small slide, fountains, and a zero entry pool -a large lap swim area -plenty of space outside the pool to put your stuff -indoor lockers for a quarter -a couple showers in locker rooms Cons: -didn't see a baby changing station anywhere -the showers were pretty gross with handfuls of hair and old abandoned soap -lockers are small, maybe enough room for a towel or purse (not both) -lap pool is very warm, warmer than the kids area, so my friend couldn't do more than two laps without feeling very uncomfortable

Located in Chesterly park, just off 40th and River Road, it's easy to get to and go from. The place has tons of different spaces within, including an aquatic center for kids with a number of waterslides, including two that actually go out the building and inside again, as well as waiting pools and a small lazy river. The place gets busy on weekends, but thus far hasn't been overwhelming! There's a large Olympic size pool for laps as well as an adults only warmer pool and a bit ole hot tub! Downstairs is a very nice basketball court As well as locker rooms and family locker rooms. All of the lockers are day use only, so it shouldn't create the issues of not being able to store your stuff anywhere. Upstairs love the free weights, nautilus machines, treadmills/elliptical machines and a running track. All the machines allow you to track your progress over time as well. Memberships are very affordable, especially for families, and This is a great addition to the valley and provides Another great place for kids to go during the year, and especially in the winter months.
