Tumbleweed Recreation Center is a beautiful facility with so much to offer the community. I have recently started taking ceramics classes through the city of Chandler, which is an extremely affordable and fun way to try out something new. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The gym is new and includes a walking track, there are brand new pickleball courts, a gymnasium, a preschool (Building Blocks), classrooms, and other activities as well. They offer day, monthly, and annual passes for visitors and residents. It's worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

First time here recently! It was a very nice center, I attended for a free city of Chandler event. I noticed there were many community members there using the space during the weekday! Enjoyed seeing that they have a children center. They also offer workout classes for elders and much more! Great for those that live in the area read more

Yesterday, TRC had their grand opening for the brand new extension they added to the 15 years old recreation center. I had a chance to explore the lobby, reception area, game, pool table, two spacious multipurpose rooms and a lively indoor fitness area. Vendors, city employees were a enthusiastic in welcoming all who came to check this new addition. This 11,000 foot structure is brand new and officially opens tomorrow. Yesterday people of all ages, kids, parents and seniors were playing pool, crafts doing crafts in the multi purpose rooms and pickle ball was being enjoyed in the fitness room. I was told that kickboxing and yoga classes will be in this room in the future. A senior center comes to my mind when I'm told that people of the age of 55+ are welcomed M-F 8-5 pm and other hours will be open to programs for all ages. This is a benefit for the city of Chandler. The growing population of the older generation calls for more facilities than the Senior Center in downtown Chandler. It is nice to see the city respond to this! read more

Came here due to the website stating that they had a indoor volleyball court. We got to TRC we approached the ladies at guest services to give us some assistance to where the volleyball court was located. The lady at the desk was very rude. She responded "NOPE" we just got the outdoor sand volleyball courts "SORRY" with a rude tone, serious face, no smile. read more

This place is amazing for an affordable gym. I was looking for an affordable gym that was flexible. Meaning, I didn't want to have a long term contract. Somewhere I can go month to month or even just drop in for a class. Theres no sign up fee. They have annual, monthly, a punch pass for 10, and even daily. So it's very flexible. It's a nice and clean facility. I take the classes and have enjoyed them. read more

We go here for every fun thing- kite flying, walks, scout meet ups, silly races, soccer and park swings. It has so much to offer- book birthday parties, play, swings, run, picnics and more. Lush green parks and lot of trees, with so many drinking water spots. You cannot beat the evening breeze and open fresh air feel here. read more

This facility advertises daily indoor basketball courts available to youth and adults, however the access to these basketball courts are very limited and most of the time they are unavailable and restricted for other activities like Pickleball, ping pong games, and aerobics??! This is extremely disappointing because Tumbleweed has SEVERAL INDOOR CLASSROOMS, where these non-basketball related activities can take place! Why are you closing down half or even a full court for these other activities? Considering that there are limited locations in Gilbert/Chandler that have indoor basketball courts for youth and teenagers to get a pickup game with friends or maybe make new friends. My advise to the management of Tumbleweed would be to reevaluate your programs and make the "Full" basketball courts available "DAILY" for BASKETBALL ONLY!! ..And not everything else! read more

It is a good value and the staff does a great job of keeping things clean. Unfortunately, I have never seen a workout facility where so many people sit on the equipment in between sets, despite the signage. Sometimes they occupy a machine for 20 minutes which makes it very difficult to get a workout in. If they would be willing to monitor this situation, it would help everyone use the equipment efficiently. read more

Great gym, friendly people and staff and something for the whole family to do. Great prices and even a 55 plus new center as well!

This review is long over due. I first visited this place for a birthday party and then read a little more about this place on city of chandler. I am totally impressed they have amazing facility and classes with some fees. Be it ping pong, tennis, basketball, Zumba, gym, you name it and they have it going here. You can host birthdays and rent the rooms here. note to book well in advance coz they are first come and first serve. Also, they have themes bdays for all ages. Their camps for kids are always booked because they are the best. The customer service is great and the website is very informative too. We love coming here to the park or Just hang out at the recreation center. Many of the major events are hosted here like the ostrich festival, July 4th and much more. Looking forward to their future events and hosting some parties :) read more

I will never use another venue after I discovered Tumbleweeds recreation room!! I rented out the entire space including the kitchen which is very spacious!! They have a door in the kitchen that leads to outside so it makes loading and unloading a breeze! They provide all tables and chairs and they set up to your liking! The space is huge and the staff was a pleasure to work with. The rates are very reasonable and you get a discount if you live in chandler. The room accommodated all of my guests and games and decor! Great location and highly recommend read more

Tumbleweed Park serves as our tranquil oasis amidst the lively buzz of Chandler. My family and I relish the vast green field for various activities like enjoying a picnic, playing a baseball game, and the playground here is my youngest child's preferred spot. read more

Perfect place to throw my daughter's 6th birthday! We chose the princess party package as it was the best deal and a low stress option for us as the staff facilitates the party. Princess Belle was also included in the package. She was very engaging with the guests and played games as well as sang happy birthday to my daughter. There were about 3 or 4 staff members that decorated based on the color theme we chose. They helped the kids make a Princess crown, served the pizza and cake and cleaned up afterwards. There's a table in the front for the cake and a table in the back for gifts. There were also several seats for parents to sit. Since my daughter's birthday is in late August, our guests really appreciated that this was an indoor, air conditioned party. We also hired a face painter/balloon twister so that there was always something to do. Overall, 10/10 would recommend! read more

I really like Tumbleweed Rec Center. They are open late enough that I can get a workout in after work. They have a variety of machines to use. I also really like the indoor track. They also offer a lot of fitness classes, but I haven't tried any yet. It's clean and well maintained. I like working out there. read more

At 62,000 Square feet, the new Rec Center in Chandler is brimming with cool opportunities. There is tons of space for racquetball courts, basketball courts, dance studios, weight rooms, teen game room, senior room, kitchen, meeting rooms, PC lab, art studios...there's more. Well done, Chandler! I like the open feel and the connection to the outside with the large courtyard. The walking/running track also has a nice feel as it passes through other areas, although I'm not 100% sure about the proximity of the comings & goings in the large work-out area. I haven't been here when it's really crowded, so we'll see if it's a problem. I'm looking forward to getting my kids involved in some activities here-there is lots available. Even though my kids are older, I really like that there are TVs all over the place with a view of the child care area so parents can keep an eye on the little ones. Nice. read more

Just took Hard Core, Rock Bottom with Bernita! WOW... this is a great class!!! If you are a beginner or EXPERT, this class is perfect! Clearing my calendar to take it EVER week!!! read more

I love their group exercise class! Roberta is the best instructor and she really puts your body to the test. They also have Zumba every night Monday thru Thursday at 8:00 PM, Friday at 6:00 PM and Saturday at 11:30 PM. Laura is my favorite Zumba instructor and she works the Saturday class. Gym has lots of different options for a great workout too! read more

Tumbleweed is the best value in fitness. If you wait for a 20% off sale a visit is a few bucks. Once you pay for the day, you can attend as many classes as you want, walk, and lift weights. The yoga classes are very good. Zumba is a blast. Lots of folks playing pickup basketball and working out. They also have cheap monthly memberships. Great to see a variety of ages having fun with fitness. read more

This is a really good recreational center. Plenty of dance rooms, space, equipment and even a indoor running track. There's TVs and couches and vending machines too! Outside of the center is a giant park. And plenty of parking. I love that dance and workout classes are held here. Of course, if you want to host your own, you can sign up to do that too. Whatever activity you want to do, I'm sure they are equipped for it. During the summer days, the indoor running track will keep you cool and prevent sunburn! Check this place out! There are fees for using the place so be sure to check the website. You are charged less if you are a Chandler resident the last time I checked. read more

Until hysteria took over common sense this was a great place.... Now,,,, Half the machines in the huge fitness center floor are not available. Fitness balls and other similar accessories are not available anymore. They made chest press machines unavailable for some hysterical reason. You can only be on the fitness floor for an hour than you have to leave and come back later if you can afford the time are not working. Nobody is even within 10ft of each other and you still need a mask, even though in March no mask was required and covid was still reduced. read more

Ballet Class Review (Wednesday @10:30am) taught by Stacy J: As a parent who works full time it's hard to find classes for my two year old to attend. I found this one as it's on a day my mother can take her as the rest of the week she attends daycare while my husband and I work. All other classes for dance that are on weekends and evening tend to be for older kids. That's my first complaint. The center is geared towards stay at home parents. My biggest complaint is that we were essentially kicked out by the instructor due to my child being shy. She turned two in March and she is a only child. The whole reason I put her in these classes is for my daughter to be outside her comfort zone and engage. I was only refunded my $20 registration fee. Of course the instructor doesn't offer to refund the $68 fee paid to her on the first day of class. I don't appreciate paying for a class and being removed after three weeks. We attended three classes! There needs to be a disclosure when signing up for this class that states if your child is shy they will be removed by the instructor. I'm still in shock that this occurred today and that it's allowed by the city. DON'T WASTE MONEY on this class if you happen to have a reserve and shy toddler. read more

The fitness center is wonderful and has everything a person needs to get in shape. The weight room can get tight during peak hours, so keep that in mind. Two power racks, a smith machine, and dumbbells go up to 125 lbs. One bench press and one leg press. Awesome walking track and miles of cardio equipment. Lots of classes. Front desk super friendly and helpful. The park itself is HUGE and provides a place to jog/run and offers solace from suburbia. read more

Wow. The last time I was here I was greeted with horrible service, a mean attitude from the rental staff, and not HALF as much respect as these workers treated me with. But let me tell you Jay and Jacob changed my ENTIRE PERSPECTIVE OF THE SITE! I rented cotton room north and south (interesting name choice) and wasn't expecting any help at all. Alas, I was greeted by two very tall, strong, handsome men named Jay and Jacob. They swept me off my feet from the first instance in meeting them and they were so cooperative and helpful. I had problems with the microphone and HDMI cords and when i tell you these young men got ON IT, it was like i didn't even ask them for help. You can tell they're one of the only ones who really care about their jobs and they do it with such charm, swagger, and efficiency its almost like they've been there for 20 years. They know EVERYTHING about the site and all the questions I had, Jay would answer with the funniest responses! They had me smiling the entire time and I was so blessed to have them as a staff for my wedding, I even gave them some of the leftover food we had. If you rent out the cotton rooms and you have anybody except Jay And Jacob, good luck lol. THOSE are the guys you want. Thank you Jay and Jacob for making my wedding day the happiest day of my life! read more

I absolutely love this park! It is huge! My daughter and I came here for the first time today. She absolutely LOVED playing here. We only spent about an hour here today due to the cold and my pressing schedule, but I was forced to promise we'd be back soon. There are so many cool parts to this park. My favorite is the Farm Land area, with the huge jungle gyms covered by shade. I can see how this would be a great benefit in the Summer. My daughter's favorite part was Critter Land, which featured a giant gila monster and some dinosaur bones that you can uncover. The rec center is ginormous and you can rent parts of it out for different events, including birthday parties. I might be doing that next month when my kiddo turns 5! We will definitely be back to Tumbleweed soon! read more

This is by far one of our favorite parks. Have you seen the covered jungle gym? It is awesome! We love coming here. My son could play here for hours. We also ride our bikes along the path. You can stay on the paved walkway or follow the dirt trail that would lead you along the perimeter of the park. There are several huge ramadas and smaller ramadas around the playground to reserve for parties. The recreation center is beautiful. So many classes are offered here. They even do family events several evenings a week! All kinds of activities for toddlers, children, teenagers and adults! Check out the website for more info on this. Come summertime, if your kid is bouncing still off the walls in the eve, take them here to tire them out! I highly recommend this place. Just don't tell too many people! read more

This facility is great. They have any and all the fitness classes etc that you may be looking for. They also host a lot of the recreational leagues ie: basketball. It is in a nice little area, surrounded by Tumbleweed park which hosts the ostrich festival every year. They also keep things very clean and organized! read more

Great park area! It's always clean and very well kept. We celebrated my son first birthday at one of the pavilions and all the kids had a blast. I was lucky that someone cancelled, apparently the pavilions book months in advance. The play area is completely covered, which is a necessity once it starts getting hot. read more

This facility has so much to offer! There is really something for everyone in your family from children up to seniors. The gym is awesome - they have cardio machines, weight machines, free weights and group classes. Childcare is available and I'll be interested in checking that out when my little one is big enough. Room/space rental is available for parties, meetings, etc. Chandler residents get to enjoy slightly lower prices than non-residents, but I think all of the fees are very reasonable. In the heat of the summer, the indoor track is a good place to go to get a real walk in! 10 laps = 1 mile. Tip to Parents: Strollers and children are allowed during family walk times. read more

I'm a fan of this place because: - their staff does their job: they are nice, greet you, and keep the place in tip-top cleanliness state and all machines are operational (meaning they up-keep well) - their classes vary and they have a convenient schedule of different types of classes - it is a modern, clean facility; has an indoor running track and plenty of new machines that have their own TVs with cable; also have a lot of machines and a great selection of free weights for those of us that prefer free weights over cable machines. read more

LOVE Tumbleweed! Both the park and rec center! I'm here several times a week. They have a lot of classes to offer for both adults and kids. My kids are always signed up for something here. The facility is huge! It is really kept nice and clean. The exercise machines are in great condition. Good variety of fitness classes. Memberships are very reasonably priced. My only gripes are that child care is not included in your membership. You can buy a 20 visit pass for $40 for childcare. And they don't have a pool :( Otherwise, I'm a huge fan! Keep a close eye on your kids at the park! It's huge and there are lots of kids so you could easily lose them if you're not paying attention. read more

Great place for a gym, racquetball courts, tennis courts, fields, etc. They also hold the city events there often... great classes and activities for kids. read more

This review is for the step classes on Wed nights and Sat mornings only. Jody is a great step instructor. The class is not your basic, boring step class. She uses the same moves, but in different orders each time, and also adds new moves to the mix each time, as well. Her class kind of reminds me of dance drills or marching band--it's not a bunch of boring "8 on this side--8 on the other side--now 4--now other side, 4--now 2---now 2 on other side--now alternate---" etc. If you used to like step but think it's sooo out now, give this class a try. It's much different than step of yesteryear, and you may be pleasantly surprised. She even mixed it up one week and gave us a sort-of step bootcamp, where we did step things for our cardio, and used weights in between for a dual workout. read more

Membership includes: upstairs includes indoor track, up-to-date cardio and weight lifting machines, free weights, miscellaneous equipment, two racquet ball courts and two dance studios which are used for classes as well as they are available for reservation. The downstairs has a full size basketball court, children's care, more rooms available for reservation from classes to events. Almost all classes are free with membership. There is a wide variety: Zumba, yoga, dance cardio and more. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Membership for two Chandler residents is $45 a month. Prices differ based off city residency and # of people. The hours they are open are pretty nice except for Sundays. But that's not a big thing. Overall much nicer than gyms I've paid twice the amount for and the indoor track is my personal favorite! read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER: I rented a room (Cotton room North) for a joint graduation party with a close friend, we have attended events held there before and were impressed, anyways it was all good until the party started and the speakers would not work!!! I had 100 guests and no music!! It was horrible and the staff was no help! They shrugged it off casually and did not seem concerned at all!! My party started at 6 and I was completely without music till around 9! We asked the staff if we could move to another room just to dance, and they had the AUDACITY to say they would charge us for both rooms!! We spent 700$ to rent this room and there was no assistance or trace of customer service whatsoever. The party was saved when one of the guests went back home and retrieved one of their speakers. DO NOT GO HERE!! we could've rented a better room with perfect audio for this price!! Not worth it!! read more

I hope this is only a temporary one star review, but this is the current reality of how difficult it is to schedule a time to work out on their new system. I love the facility, but it is useless if you can't register an appointment to use it. Please fix the reservation system to make it more user friendly! read more

Had a difficult experience today. Went with my 13 year old daughter to the what the TRC website offered as "free" teen open gym usually from 11am-4pm. Were told at the front desk at 2:40pm we'd have to wait til 3pm. (A last minute tournament took over the gym 2-3pm). I was told I could sit and watch my child play for free as well. At 3, went right in to gym. After 5 minutes of shooting around, we were asked by an employee if we had wrist bands. No, no mention of one at front desk. Were asked to go get wrist band. At front desk, different employee told us wrist bands were day passes that we needed to pay for. We left, since we are not members of the rec center, and we got mixed messages from different employees. I have had a membership there before when my kids were in preschool classes there. It's not a value for my family now. Please update website to be crystal clear that free open gym really means free to members only, or a day pass charge is included. Update website when a last-minute tournament limits open court time. Please educate employees to know what each activity requires ($) of customers. And I will remember that free never means free at Tumbleweed Rec Ctr. read more

Honestly a great rec center. They have an awesome gym, the prices are really good for family packs, and the parks surrounding the center are beautiful and well-maintained. My 4 year old daughter goes to Apples to Zebras preschool and Club Pee Wee as well. She loves her classes and they are actually helping her get ready for school. She has "homework" each week and loves going each day. I highly recommend this for parents wanting to prep their kiddos for school. Unlike the Chandler Community Center Apples to Zebras program, this one actually has a decent curriculum. Although, the other program is great as well if you are wanting a daycare type environment instead of preschool. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and registering for classes online is super easy. If you haven't stopped by, go check it out! read more

We LOVE this park AND rec center! We've used everything from the sand volleyball court to the great jogging trails to the playground area. The playground has a great little section for tiny toddlers as well as school-aged children. Their barn-yard themed ramadas are perfect for little birthday parties - they even have large sized ramada areas for bigger parties. But book months in advance, because they're pretty booked - especially in Spring. We were unable to hold one two weeks before we needed it. The recreation center has a great area(s) for pre-teens (fully equipped with video games, basketball court, computers, etc.) and a day care center which is videotaped and shown on monitors throughout the gym upstairs for parents. This park and recreation center is definitely a perk of being a Chandler resident! read more
