Here's a clean, readable Yelp-style review that keeps your experience intact but flows more…read moresmoothly and sounds polished: First Visit to Splash Zone - Overland, Ohio This was my first visit to Splash Zone in Overland, Ohio. Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

Then the lifeguard switched a bunch of times. She was able to go on the side all those times. And she was tall enough all those times also. And then there lifeguard who didn't let her and said she was too short. I let him know that she was a really strong swimmer and that she could touch the bottom of the pool. There was this one kid who was in line in front of her and he let her go was the same height as my daughter. And then the lifeguard Lucas said my daughter was too short. Even if she was the same as other girl that went in front of her. Her hair was what was making her taller. And he said the hair on her head counts. So I put my daughter's hair up in a bun and he said well that doesn't . She cannot go on the slide. That is what got on my nerves. We will not be going back to splash zone again if it has anything to do with that lifeguard.

The ground sprayers are even fun for adults and the coconut tree is a really cute touch. There are picnic tables and lawn chairs to relax on. They have beverage vending machines and there is even a reasonably priced concession stand with a decent selection. The park is not just for residents. Check it out.

As a CWRU student, my two obvious gym options are Veale and 121. Being the broke graduate student…read morethat I am, paying $40/year for a locker sounds MUCH better to me than even the discounted rate students will get for 121 starting this fall. If you are interested in classes then 121 might be the right option. But if you're looking for a good place to workout on your own or with a friend, Veale absolutely fits the bill. The cardio room has plenty of equipment, as does the weight room. There are two pools, a track, and a rock climbing wall as well. And did I mention membership is free for CWRU students and faculty? Just swipe your card. The locker rooms have daily (free) lockers and the paid assigned lockers, as well as showers and hair dryers. They also provide towels (though don't expect soft and fluffy in this department...but they get the job done). I have to say that I am super excited for the extended hours in the fall. Also, many people don't know this but 121 will actually be managing Veale maintenance. What that means for equipment and cleanliness remains to be seen, but I'm certain it will be positive. Overall, if you don't need a "cool" fancy gym and just want a good place to workout, Veale is a great option. I should also say that I workout in the weight room three mornings a week and never feel uncomfortable at all. I've been to gyms where the guys don't always respect the gals who are working out at the same time. Not so here. The athletes, army dudes, and everyday gym junkies have always been nothing but polite. Way to round out a positive review. EDIT: So, 121 is now managing Veale and there are some pretty nice changes going on, i.e. love that they got rid of the yucky drop ceiling in the weight room! Looking forward to seeing all of the changes as they shape up.

All of my calls were answered and returned quickly and if needed, a tech was sent out to handle the problem. I enlist their services to open and close the pool and they are prompt, work as quickly as possible to minimize added cost and do excellent work. You will not go wrong if they are in your corner to make pool ownership smoother and more enjoyable.

We went to Ledge for the first time the other day, with my son…read more What a big pool! Definitely worth the money (which isn't an arm and a leg.) It was awesome, all the space we had. They are strict on their safety rules, which is wonderful. They have a playground, which my son loved for break times (:45 - :00). Why only four stars? As much as we loved it, it became crowded with day cares/camp kids who weren't monitored very well. Although kids are kids, and it's hard as a supervisor to keep an eye on all at the same time, these kids were a bit rude. Before they had come, we had a blast. Will definitely come again.

Fast-forward to this year: bought Family Season Passes for the four of us. I took the kids twice and it was good. Then my husband joined us one afternoon and shortly after our arrival, the pool was vacated for "sanitary reasons". (My kids said it smelled like poop down by the water from the time we'd arrived. But they went in anyway - Ew!) We watched the lifeguards scoop something out of the water, put it into a hazardous waste bag, and then add some chemicals to the pool. We left. Nearly six weeks later, we gave it another try on a really hot day. My daughter got stung by a bee in the clover-filled lawn, and I kid you not, the pool was vacated again for the same reason! Don't these people know there are bathrooms provided?! SO gross! We didn't get our money's worth on the passes, but on the way home, we all agreed to never go to Ledge Pool again!
