Strawberry Recreation District

Great swim lessons and great camps. my kid loves it here. the swim lessons are great with good kid to teacher ratio, and the camps are well organized and lots of fun for kids.
–1 star for Pearl, the angry lifeguard who is always yelling at the kids. she stands out as the rest of the crew is happy and helpful.

I have a great time here. Close to the city but is our summer safety valve for the last two years, when if feels like we live in a bog, we can grab some sun. A bit short on swim lanes sometimes, but people are generally nice, and not that much more crowded than Golden Gateway. Has a slide and a diving board in the deep end. I do not think it is really crowded and lots of lifeguards so you do not feel you have to watch the kids so closely.

The pool and large jacuzzi are in good condition and well-​kept, but you have to think twice before plunking down almost $ 500 for a season of swimming. First it is very crowded, esp. in the summer and not enough recliners poolside. Second, they usually only have one or at most two lanes open for recreational swimming, so you have to fight your way through throngs of thrashing children. Third the staff is either very rude or too young to apply the sometimes bizarre rules with any common sense. One Asian lady there runs the place like a concentration camp. Kids they hire are even more of a problem. For example, we were there once in late afternoon on a cold day and barely anyone one was in the pool. The 17 year old kid still wouldn’t let me and my young daughter swim in the empty lanes that were reserved for adults. The water is kept at around 77 degrees which is fine, but not the comfy 83 degrees at other pools. You pay for what you get. The pool is relatively cheap and you get the corresponding service.

For $ 10 that include very good live band, plenty of snacks/​food during intermission, ballroom dancing to excellent live music, you can’t beat this for a Saturday evening outing (only once on 3^rd Saturday of the month). Mostly seniors, but they’re very friendly and welcoming!!! The band plays pretty much all kinds of ballroom music… from waltz… cha-cha.east coast swing… salsa…west coast swing,.night-club 2-steps…lindy hop… foxtrot…

we came here for a strawberry swinger event. the strawberry swinger event takes place every third Saturday. they have a wonderful live band playing music for the ballroom dancers. FYI– most of the people attending this event are senior citizens. the event is $ 10 per person with free finger food (trays of finger food will be served around 9:30).
