J. Thomas Lovell Jr. Community Center at Legacy Park

I've had the membership for a week and have gone daily, and I will say the rec center is nice and offers a lot. The only complaint I have is the pool (lap pool) is not maintained well. Yesterday there were so many centipedes and dead spiders in the pool that I had a lifeguard bring me a tub so I could get them all out. I overheard them saying to one another that the vacuum that cleans the bugs from the pool is broken. Today I went in and once again the lap pool was so murky that even with goggles on you couldn't see more than a foot or two in front of your face. About the same visibility as a lake underwater. Not sure what that was about but it's supposed to be clear. It's also extremely salty. They need to get the pool clean, and the lifeguards need to do a better job of keeping other people's children in-line when people are exercising. Every time I go either strange kids are literally crawling on me as I swim or they're throwing balls or googles across the pool and nearly hitting other people.

We took our 5 and 6 year old grandchildren here to swim. It was our first time there, so we had noted on website price was $9 per person. We arrived around 3:30pm and were told they could only go in small children’s area and that would close for swim lessons at 5. It took 20 minutes to sign in, because we had to sign paperwork and have pictures taken for our one time visit. We had to get out of kids area at 4:50pm per lifeguard as swim lessons were getting to start and then found out they would last until 7. So for less than an hour we paid $36 for 2 kids to swim!!! On further research on website, I saw a month membership is only $22!! It is very poor service that we were not given this option when we signed in. There was not a reason given why we could not use big leisure pool. There was a lifeguard and only a couple of people swimming in the big pool.

Terrible nasty pool. You can tell that the hot tub is disgusting with all of the “sand” at the bottom of it. I saw a roach crawling near the hot tub once. The pool is nasty, and smells horrible. Do not bring your kids here the lifeguards don’t pay attention. The managers don’t care about their workers either. I saw a lifeguard that looked younger left on stand for 3 HOURS alone!!!

It kills me to give such a low score. But everything that made this gym great is gone. Some staff are still friendly. Maybe you should ask in an interview do you mind smiling? Paper towels are empty, spray bottles empty, guys dropping weights and NO ONE ever asks then to control the weights. Just very sad, it was once a fantastic place.
