Warren Community Center

I always come here with the kids, for the pool. It’s a really great place. It’s lots of fun. It’s clean. The water slide is awesome. They also serve refreshments. The prices are decent. I especially love that they have several lifeguards on duty, which keep a very close eye on things, which is wonderful. Good customer service, friendly staff. Clean locker rooms. I’d like to make a suggestion. I’d like to suggest a locker room attendant for each of the male and female locker rooms. I’m not comfortable with naked adults being around children. I think it’s rather disgusting and disturbing. I really think there should be a locker room attendant at all times, just to be safe.

Review for the pool area… I can’t get my son to leave, and that makes this place worth it. The life guards walk around like sentinels or the secret service by the kiddie pool area which is nice. Water is generally pretty warm, a little colder in the kiddie pool. The water jets on the wet playground are a little too strong (think focused firehose in some spots) and my 3 yo is afraid to go through them. It’s a little on the expensive side for non-​members and they don’t allow outside food/​drink.

The pool is always warm but always pretty crowded.
The staff tries a little to keep kids playing basketball from being so rowdy.
Sometimes it’s too much tho. The ball should be taken away after so many times of telling them to settle down.
The lazy river is freezing! But my son loves it
For the little ones, the play part that dumps the big bucket of water, is awesome! It has slides and the water is knee length.
I would give another star but the staff who is all teenagers just chat amongst themselves and do whatever they want.
Three of the female workers shut down the lane in the big pool so THEY can do some laps 30 min BEFORE closing time.
Most of them ARE NOT friendly.
I asked one kid worker a question and he literally just grunted at me. Mmmmkayyy!!!

So I wish every city had something like this. Gym, sauna, steam room, pool, hot tub, kids areas. I miss living in Warren for this reason. Cheap and easy memberships, clean equipment, small, manageable. Tons and tons of classes. The only problem is the old dudes trying to tell you how to lift weights (Eye roll).
That’s ok though, they seem bored.

If it weren’t for the grumpy woman working the water aerobics class, the price and the activities you can do here are endless. There is a lot to do and they even have a childcare area. I’d go back but not to that woman’s class. Basketball, arts and crafts, water slides, you name it. It would be a great place for kids during the summer months off of school.

I wish I had a community center as nice as this near my house in NY.…
Out visiting family and wanted to work out /​swim a little to stay active.
They offer $ 10 non-​resident guest passes, $ 5 resident guest passes.
The fitness area has 10 or so treadmills, 10 or so ellipticals, exercise bikes, weights, etc. Everything you could ever need to get a good work out in. The area is very clean — brand new carpet and lots of TVs. Machines are all new and have lots of good functions.
Locker rooms — don’t forget to bring your lock! Really clean — curtained individual shower areas and restrooms.
Pool area has a fun water castle play area for kids and a water slide. There is also a large pool area where they have classes, and several lanes for lap swimming. Everything is very clean and well kept.
Everyone was super friendly — wish I could live next door to use this place all the time!!! Lucky Warren-​ites!!!

Use to be a nice place but the crowd coming in there now is starting to take it’s toll on the pool area. Too much of the «thug» type there now. Don’t see it lasting a couple more years at the current pace. Very disappointing but typical for Detroit suburb once news get out of something nice. I use to buy yearly passes for my family. I will no longer go there or support it as long as they allow other cities to openly ruin it.

The water park is an Awesome place for active kids! Lots of different activities to keep them busy. I have 3 boys from 12 to 7. They can run and play all day. The noise level is managed well because of the huge room and and the water noise. For residents the price is only $ 5 each.

I’m usually here ⁶⁄₇ days in the week to use the fitness center. The equipment is always clean and well-​maintained, but the carpet is ripped in several places where heavy weights are dropped on them. They should consider fixing this soon, as people can easily trip over it. The people at the counter are always nice and cheerful, and this is greatly appreciated. The pool and sauna areas are also quite clean and well-​maintained, although the hot tub kind of gets gross with some brown stains in the foam. So I’d recommend coming to use the hot tub when it’s not busy, lest you be the victim of someone else’s uncleanliness.

I have utilized the Warren Rec Center as a gym and for fitness classes.
This is a laid-​back environment if you want to start or continue a fitness program. They have multiple treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes; along with a decent supply of weight machines/​free weights. In addition, there is a nice outdoor track, multiple soccer fields, and kid/​adult pool. It can get a bit crowded in the fitness/​pool areas, but overall it is one of the nicer city facilities I have seen. If you live or work in Warren it is also a very affordable option compared to larger gyms/​fitness centers.
