This is a family friendly but nice people and the pool and facilities are super clean! If you're visiting Raleigh and don't want to drive 3 hours to the beach or chance any of the murky lakes in the area. They have plenty of chairs and tables to chill poolside.

My first visit to the public pool. I attended for the free Swim Lesson offered on June 20. Its part…read moreof the Worlds Largest Swim Lesson adding Selma, NC, to a worldwide effort to promote water safety and the importance of everyone learning how to swim. The Lesson was well attended, the Parks and Recreation director and his staff were organized, attentive, and energetic in an effort to break the worlds record. Great job! The Town of Selma recently bought this pool in 2019. It is now under the management of the Parks and Recreation Department that uses a private contracted pool management company to staff and maintain it. Typically there is a cost to enter this public pool. Summer passes called memberships for individuals and families are available in a limited number. Daily passes are also available. The pool has two sets of steps in the 3 foot (most shallow end) and two ladders on the 10 foot end (deepest end). A safety line divides the shallow (3-4 feet) from the deep end (5-10 feet). Ample comfortable lounge chairs and regular chairs are available along with two picnic tables. Gravel parking Pool has handicap access as well.

Our children's swim team (about 150 people) held their end of year celebration here and it was…read morefabulous! Anne was quick to respond to our needs (table numbers, chairs, and kitchen use) and everything was all ready for us! There was plenty of space for families to enjoy dinner and for kids to have fun celebrating awards. The kitchen and side room were perfect areas for our caterer to set up food and drinks and everything stayed warm and fresh with the fridge and oven. The stage was a great place to have trophies and special awards given out and display our photo slideshow from the season on the wall behind the stage. Plenty of electrical outlets too! You could tell the kids felt so special. The night was perfect and the space was perfect. Couldn't have asked for better service from the rental manager or a better, budget friendly space. We have already booked for next year again!

The employee that I interacted with was helpful in helping me get signed up for a week trial membership. But I wasn't given a tour of the facility. I got invited to check out Courtney B's Zumba class on this day so I didn't get to utilize the gym equipment or any other amenities. I did utilize a free locker to store my items. Courtney's class was great. It was very high energy and a great workout! I could tell that Courtney enjoys teaching. This YMCA location has a pool, free weights, and resistance equipment on the two levels of the business. I wish that I could have checked out other classes and amenities during that week but I lost a couple of days due to the snow storm.

The front desk staff members haven't been the friendliest, but maybe they are tired by the time my son's team practices, which is super late in my opinion. The gym is clean and there's plenty of seating. I wish there were more activities available at this recreation center. No group fitness. No dance class. No nothing outside of basketball practice.

Parking was right near the playground and close to the pavilion. They had paved handicapped parking spaces. The equipment looks brand new and they have hand sanitizer units on every section. They have shade umbrellas, 2 sliding sections, lots of climbers, 2 full swing sets, teeter saws, a sand volleyball pit and it looked like they're still developing. So happy to have found this place!

I rented this location for my daughters wedding on September 28, 2019. There's nothing wrong with…read morethis facility. As you can see by the pictures it's actually a really nice new place. Originally I rented the deck for her ceremony and the Dogwood for her reception but I cancelled the deck because of issues with the management. I had so many issues with management that I personally would never use this place again, at least not for anything that required decorating so ladies be forewarned that you can't use flowers of any kind of the deck. You can't hang anything because you aren't allowed to use any type of ladder. So pretty much no decorations at all. The worst part about renting this facility is that you get different answers from different people about different things. The guy that is in charge works like 4 days a week for 6 hrs a day so good luck with quick responses to questions. The only good part is for a small wedding if you dont care to decorate it's cheap. $80 AN HR. That's half a traditional venue cost for an off day. So there's that.

You will see basketball courts. baseball fields, sitting areas, and several fields for various activities. There were paths if you wanted to venture into the woods which i started to do but once i saw the giant spider webs, i turned around lol. There is a body of water. There is a huge playground if you have kids. There is also a building, im thinking it was a community center but i had no reason to go inside. Other than the kids in the playground this place was pretty quiet. Its a good place to enjoy your day outside.

It was intriguing to learn about my loved ones and where we come from.
