Review from Ben D.

Places like this are why pedophiles should have to wear GPS locaters...
Sorry Shoreview, but your claim to fame is your community center... otherwise, pretty much everything else in that city sucks.
It seems to me like the citizens tax money could have been spent better on other things besides a waterpark/gym/skate park, but maybe I'm wrong... I do know they make a decent amount of money off it so that's nice I'm sure.
I can remember being a kid and enjoying the water park on those hot days... it was so nice to pay a flat fee and swim for hours, even go down the water slide! The only thing I didn't like was that the "kiddy pool" was connected to the main pool, and even at the tender age of 7 I realized that enough people already peed in the pool... there was no doubt leaky fecal diaper matter in the water from the toddler area. But no matter, our friend Mr. Chlorine (thanks for lying about it changing colors when you pee MOM) supposedly took care of that!
Summer days and evenings were spent here, until I got to be a little bit older... and now when I want to have fun on the water, I take out a speed boat and tube behind it at breakneck speeds. -

My husband and I booked the Community Center for our wedding reception and I am very happy we did! We booked the Shoreview room because of the view, size, and decor. It was a nice space that didn't need a complete overall to make it look nice. We had very simple decorations (which made set up and tear-down super easy) and they worked very well in the space because, like I said, it was already a nice space. We had 160 guests, which allowed NONE of the table to be on the dance floor, so no one had to loose their place (no one likes being at that table!).
In addition to it being a nice space, they let US choose our caterer (we didn't have to use anyone on an exclusive list) and the price was right. It was a little more than I wanted to pay, but I'm not one to want to spend a lot of money and it was just a little more than I wanted to pay ($100 more), so it was kind of easy to chew it and I'm very happy that I did! -

I'm new to the Shoreview Community Center but so far it has been great. I use the workout facility and do some Candlelight Yoga on Sunday nights. My wife and I also took our son there swimming once and the pool is unbelievable! I'm also very excited for when he gets older because he can use the huge playground.

I did not like the service and I thought it was a waste of taxpayer's money to open a city owned YMCA/Waterpark!

It's a water park. It's a fitness center. It's the Shoreview Community Center.
This place is one of the best things about living in Shoreview, but you don't have to be Shoreview resident to use the facilities. They have a pool with a huge waterslide, workout room, two large gyms, an indoor track, and meeting rooms that you can rent for parties. They have swimming lessons, classes you'd find at any fitness center (yoga, pilates, spinning) and personal trainers you can hire to get the most from your workout. They even have free daycare.
My daughter takes swimming lessons at the pool and she loves to play there. They have a shallow area for little kids with a small slide, a couple of swimming lanes, and floating animals for older kids to play on in the deep area of the pool. If you come to use the pool, take note of the open swim schedule because there's always something going on there.
The pool is always staffed with lifeguards and they are a very well run group. They are mostly teenagers, but they're attentive and professional. They run surprise drills on them to keep them on their toes. My wife has seen them in action when it hasn't been a drill and was impressed at how quickly they acted and how each of them knew exactly what role they had in the rescue and what they should do.
The Shoreview Community Center is as good, if not better, than any chain fitness center out there. They have annual memberships as well as daily admissions. It's a great place for families and a great place to have a gathering, whether it be for a club or a party.
