Review from Megan M.

I'm not reviewing the entire park, but the dog park section.
Do my dogs love this place, no. Do I wish they did? Yes. It's a really cool place, albeit very tiny. It's split into two portions, one for larger dogs and one for small dogs. The small dog section is anorexic, which to be quite honest, I don't care about because the beasts aren't tiny. The larger dog section isn't huge but it has some perks. It's got covered areas, dirt areas, and grassy areas. It also has agility type equipment. Want your dog to jump on a see-saw? Got it. It does have fountains which is nice.
Like I said it is small. Find a day or time when the park is less busy or otherwise it gets crowded.Listed in: The Places The Beasts Love

The best gym I've ever belonged to. Great facilities, classes, employees... but swarming with kids. I kinda like it though. It reminds me of elementary school.

Review from HIROKO K.
Phoenix, AZ
I love this facility! It's clean and bright. It has an indoor track, a good number of cardio machines and weight machines. It has an awesome indoor basketball court which sometimes gets used for extreme training and volleyball. It has a couple of nice aerobics room, plus a couple of racketball courts and a rock climbing wall to boot. I primarily joined so that I could lap swim. Unfortunately, they limit the times that the pool is open to 5AM - 7AM, 11AM - 1PM, and 5:30PM - 7PM - times when there's a lifeguard available. And during the summer, the pool is overrun with kids, and the afternoon lap swimming gets pushed back to 6:30PM start. to accommodate the local swim team. These times don't work for me. Also, during the summer time, it was close to 4 swimmers per lane. The teenage lifeguards don't impose the slow to fast lane designations and don't remind people to circle swim. I never got a good lap swim workout. But the pool is kept up impeccably, and the locker room is nice (except during the summer time when the kids make everything sticky) A great facility overall.
