The lazy river is great and the lap lanes in the indoor pool are nice (but few), except when they run the wave pool every 20 minutes... Then it's a fight for your life to get out before being bashed by people riding the waves in the provided pool tubes. Seriously. ;) For corporate events and family gatherings, the meeting room spaces are bright and well maintained and very affordable to rent. Melissa in the Parks & Recs department is a joy to work with.

Fields are unplayable most of the time. Even the slightest rain cancels games. And when that happens you'll actually be happy because you don't have to deal with the dearth of parking, walking miles to your field, 3/4 full beers from concessions and getting talked down to by untrained umpires who don't know what they are doing. Not worth it.

The card is good for three years but then you must pay for entry. Very pricey and not advertised that you must have a card. The pools were full of cicadas, leave and other dirt and debris. They only have two slides for bigger kids and one slide for smaller kids. It's a small "water park" so I don't feel the quality is worth the price. There are three different pools plus a lazy river. The concession stands have a lot from frozen grapes to cheeseburgers, hot dogs nachos and ice cream

We went to take a tour of this YMCA location because we were interested in the family membership…read more The staff were friendly and showed us around, but the facilities were quite worn down and the clientele was mostly a very old crowd. Which isn't inherently a bad thing, but the vibes were dead. Absolutely no atmosphere at all. Once again, nice staff, but we are hesitating on joining because this place needs a re-vamp. Also, it's strange that they keep your drivers licenses during the tour. We had to wait for them to be handed back.

I just joined this location over the summer when I learned they offer the Les Mills gym classes…read more There are a lot of good things that are working for this location, I have to say: really super affordable, lots of friendly staff, street and lot parking, minimal crowds, and nice patrons. The building and equipment itself, while centrally located to Kirkwood, are a bit dated. It could stand to use a facelift but I understand that's what keeps the rates affordable and the people coming back. They also offer many classes (like sports leagues, CPR certification etc). And even discount to the Trout Lodge - a very large camp / lake site for fun activities. I would love to try that out some time. I would also like to try out their pool too!

Missouri Pickleball Club is an indoor pickleball facility located in Fenton, Missouri. They have 18…read morecourts available and also sell quite a bit of pickleball gear including paddles, bags, and accessories. They also allow you to demo paddles. There is a giant parking lot right outside of the facility and I have never had an issue finding a spot. I have been a member ($25/month) for about 2 months now and have taken advantage of their perks. For example, they offer a good amount of beginner and advanced clinics, paddle stack play, organized play, and league play throughout the week. You sign up for these events through an app (CourtReserve) and then scan your own personal bar code to check in. These events run almost all day and are open to non members but are cheaper if you have a membership. You also have the option to reserve a court but each person playing on the court is also charged too. They also host tournaments here that you can sign up for. So far I've done drill and play, organized play, paddle play, and have reserved a court at some point. It is nice have the organized play/paddle stack options and play with new folks when I don't have a group to play with. The courts are also pretty nice and the bathrooms are kept fairly clean. There is a wide range of DUPR levels (2.5-4+) which allows for a wide variety of people with different skill levels to participate. Some downsides are that the cost to play can add up considering the $25/month membership plus any additional event you want to sign up for which can range from $5-$30. Starting January 2024, they also charge a $50 account activation fee for new and returning members. This is fine but I think it would be helpful for them to be transparent about it as this is not listed on their website and was sent through a members only email. I do like MPC and am enjoying their events but will likely be returning to outdoor courts once the weather warms up.

Sports Monster offers several sports. I played in their co-ed recreational (not competitive)…read morekickball league. It was disappointing. Their price for a kickball league is the best in St. Louis so I'll give them that. Sign up through meetup.com (the group is called St. Louis Kickball, I think?) for a significant discount. The league is poorly organized though. They aren't flexible with individuals that aren't able to join the league with a team. The league was played in Deer Creek Park - gravel-like dirt infields, not kind to your skin if you slip or fall. Sports Monster technically has a sponsor bar, but they don't always offer food or drink specials. What's the point of a sponsor bar if it doesn't have specials? The umpires were awful. In one game, the "home plate" umpire sat 50 feet away from home plate and played with their phone without even watching the game at times. If you're getting paid to ump a game, at least be respectful to the teams that paid to play and give it your best effort.

I played their Sunday basketball leagues for 3 sessions starting Fall/Winter of 2019 through Spring…read moreof 2021. You'd be better off going and playing at a park for free. We only played in it as long as we did because of the location of Maryland Heights being convenient for our team, as well as Sunday's being the only day we could play. The refs are horrible, it would be better to just call your own fouls. They are disinterested, they showed up late all the time, including to our playoff game this past week. The people who ran the clock/scoreboard were always very friendly, I appreciate them being good people and helpful with their job. But the thing that truly threw us over the edge about our opinions about this league was this past session (started April 11, 2021). We had so many problems with their administration the past couple months. I don't think they could've botched their COVID responses more if they tried. They didn't announce that we had to wear masks while playing until after the refund deadline for dropping out was over, if I remember right they sent out the email requiring masks at all time the day after refunds ended. When I reached out asking about this new policy (which was different than they had summer of 2020 when the pandemic was much worse, we didn't have to wear masks then), I got a very snippy response from the guy in charge of the company about how it's my fault that we elected a "fascist dictator" and if I don't like it, deal with it. My teammate also sent an email about it and got just as rude of a response. We had to continue to wear masks while playing for a month past when the CDC announced vaccinated folks could take off their mask. They never sent out any sort of reminder to sign up for the next session to returning teams. I've never played in a league of any kind that didn't give teams a heads up to sign up for the next session. The league filled up before I had a chance to sign up. When I reached out about this, wondering why we never got a reminder, I never got a response back from the manager. They just completely ignored a simple question from a 3-time returning team that was one of the 3 or 4 teams that stuck through with the league during the pandemic. To summarize: Refs 1/10, scorekeepers: 10/10, administration: 0/10
