My kids love swimming and we just moved to the area so we were in search of a pool. We were told to…read morejoin wstc because of their wonderful swim team and instruction provided by the coaches. Out expectations were exceeded when we saw such improvement in our child's swimming ability. The swim team and coaches alone would give wstc a 5 star rating, HOWEVER. The dirty facilities and lack of renovations to this club is Discusting. The bathrooms and floors are something out of a horror movie, I can not even imagine the diseases collect on the floor and the pool deck. The playground is full of lead paint and the entire club looks as if no one has cleaned since the 80s. I would like for my kids to continue swimming for this fantastic team but the owners lack of care for this swim club makes the price of membership not worth it.

Perfect. Me and my boyfriend went on a Sunday without any issues. We paid the money and spent the day by the pool. The following Wednesday me and my friend decided to go. Had all of our stuff with us and were excited to go. We get there and see a young girl too busy playing on her cell Phone to acknowledge us. Finally we asked for the day pass and she rudely says that they don't do that here. I told her I had called and also came here this past weekend without any issues. She very rudely said we had to be a member or a guest of a member. After she said this she went back to texting as if we were bothering her so terribly. she could have given us information about becoming members or talked with her manager about the situation. I will not be going back here or recommending this place to anyone.

We've been members of this club for over three years, and overall, we've had a positive experience…read morewith the facility itself. However, our experience with the Kids Club has been extremely disappointing. About a year and a half ago, my son had an incident where a staff member teased him. He reacted in a playful but inappropriate way, and as a result, he was suspended for a week. At the time, he was also dealing with a serious medical condition that was affecting him neurologically, which we later came to understand may have influenced his behavior. Out of caution, he did not return to Kids Club after that incident. Now that he is doing much better, and I have returned to full-time work, I recently attempted to bring him back--only to be told that he is permanently banned. The reason given was a Facebook comment I had made at the time describing our experience. I made multiple attempts to have a calm, reasonable conversation with staff to revisit the situation, especially given the time that has passed and my son's improved health. Unfortunately, there was no willingness to reconsider. This puts us in a very difficult position. As a working parent, I rely on the Kids Club in order to use the gym. Without access to childcare, we are now faced with canceling a membership we've maintained for years--not because we want to, but because we no longer have a way to utilize the facility. What's most concerning is the lack of empathy and accountability in how this situation has been handled. I sincerely hope the club takes a closer look at how interactions with children are managed, and how situations like this are resolved, so that other families don't have a similar experience.

Staff is very friendly. Often too many kids running around unsupervised. Many of the weight…read moremachines are outdated, broken, torn cushions on a lot of them (pecdec machines, preacher curl, etc etc). They updated the dumbells and tvs and added a turf area in the past year. The pulley towers are ancient and almost always have at least 1 station broken, broken clips/pins, 7.5# weights that don't work well, bars with sharp burrs, etc... Outdated. Missing many machines that modern gyms have. For abour $70/month one would expect better. Seems more geared towards families with kids and elderly. Always adding on new fees and trying to sell extras.

This is an awesome community pool for city folk to cool off at. It's a pretty long drive to the…read morebeach from this corner of Somerville, so it's great to have somewhere closer to pop in on a hot summer day. Entry is $2 for adults, or you can pay $40 for a season pass. The parking lot is small, but there's additional parking at Dilboy stadium a short walk away. No food or drink allowed (besides water of course) which is a bummer, but makes sense for health and cleanliness issues. A few other reviewers thought the pool was dirty, but I haven't found that to be true. The locker rooms/bathrooms are a little rough, but it's an old community pool, what do you expect? It's pretty packed with kids so this is not the place to come for peace and quiet. Regardless, this will be a regular haunt of mine this summer for sure!

I've lived so close to this pool for so many years and didn't find out about it until this summer…read more Oh the sweet relief of cool refreshing water that I've been missing all my Somervillian life! Dilboy pool is a really great way to beat the summer heat while having a cheap day out in the sun close to home. You can get their via public transportation by taking the 80, 87, or 88 bus, or drive to the pool and park in the lot in the back. The nice thing about this pool is that it is really big and not to full either. Mostly families visit, and they have a shallow wading pool for the tiny kiddies if you have any in tow. With 5 life guards on duty, and the deep end reaching 4 ft. 8 inches, you can feel safe in just about any inch of the pool. They also have a male and female dressing room equipped with toilets, showers, and dressing cubicles, so you can change on site if you prefer. A few changes to keep in mind that we heard from some of the regulars and confirmed with a lifeguard: 1) Chairs are no longer allowed at the pool, so bring a towel and be prepared to plop yourself down on the concrete. 2) They are now charging a $2 entrance fee if you go to the pool between 11 am and 1 pm. After this peak time it is free. 3) This isn't really a change, but something to be aware of if you are visiting for the first time with lots of people. The entrance to the pool is through the dressing rooms, which means your party will be briefly separated until you are on the pool side. Happy Swimming!

The weight room has rips in some of the benches. Nobody wipes anything down.

Definitely going back to BestFitness when my year is up. I'll miss swimming, but everything else at BF is so much better.

I joined this gym for the pool. They had a reservation system that doesn't open up until midnight…read moreday before( so if you want to reserve for Tuesday swim can start to reserve Monday at 0000). It can fill up pretty quickly especially weekends. I went 2016 when it was taking quite a while to revamp the pool and lockers then I tried again 2022. Locker rooms are much nicer than when I last went. The fall had a longer hours so perhaps more opportunities too. Pros and cons with the reservation system( pro nice knowing it's reserved) but at times find times that worked for me would be hard. Other things to check out: tennis courts and looks like they had a pickleball league. They used to have childcare options - hopefully they'll bring that back one day. All the times I went to the gym the weights/cardio never felt overcrowded. Lots of options here but I think for working out I do better with attending a class vs. going to a gym.

Can't say that I have seen the sunrise, but the sunsets are beautiful. In the summer sometimes you can rent out kayaks or pedal boats. There are two playgrounds for kids (one by church lot, other by honeydew side). Really pretty to see during the different seasons. Definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere outdoors to exercise, sit in the sun, enjoy a picnic, etc.
