Reviews of Northwest Recreation Center

Karina Bertelli

What a fun Rec center! The kids loved the pool and we spent most of our time in there! Love that they have a toddler area and the big slide/lazy river for older kids too! Can't wait to go back!

Eric So

We have the family plan and love it. The swimming pool is great for kids. Great staff there. And the machines are really new for a city-owned facility. Highly recommended.

Genevieve duran

Overall it's a great place with good workout gear awesome never-can-stay-the-same-temperature-water- showers but that comes along with all the water that runs over there. Their pool area is great as well. They have rooms where you can have a conference or have a birthday or any kinda gathering which is cool and convenient. It's only 6$ for an all day pass. Can't quite remember how much the weekly, monthly or yearly cost but I will update this soon. So it's the employees* that always get a down star from me just the attitude and nerve of them a few times. I just can't. *Not all employees

Britt Russell

Clean and fun place! The water in the pool is warm and had a fun with a large group going. Definitely recommend this place! Core memories made here!

Kelsey Hale

Well-staffed and cleaner than any private gym I've ever been to. Fun to see people from the community using the space, especially the youth basketball teams. Tax dollars very well-spent.

John Lauritzen

Very nice county gym & pool. Lots of different equipment. Multiple pools with lap swimming at certain times. Discounts & programs for seniors.

Chad Nuesmeyer

Nice little gem of a rec center ticket into Rose Park. Our kids are loving being on the swim team. Our youngest finishes every practice with a couple runs down the water slide. Glad we found this place.

Pauline Chase

I've never been to Northwest Rec center but I took the youngest grand kid and went she had a blast the life guard told her she could survive the slide and she did, also parents can sit right by the pool which is a huge plus. We will go again

Katie Lawson

I really appreciate affordable public spaces. This pool is super clean and the facility is great.

anthony bahl

Pretty great. I love their indoor track! My only complaints are that their gym lacks a stretching area, and that their pool is often closed due to a lifeguard shortage. Pretty sure that's not exclusive to them though, so don't hold that against them. Nice place!

Kody G

I love coming here for the gym, swimming, and the park that is behind the rec center! They have many activities that go one so go check out their events page through the website! They have log rolling, inflatable water rock climbing, and many other events and classes!

S F

The pool is ok for small kids inside. The other pool was for lap swimming only. But the womans locker room showers flooded and were either cold or hot. And the cleaning lady was rude. Also kids who should of been wearing swimming diapers were not.

William (BanderWolf)

Both pools were nice but the open swim was only one lane and was freezing.

Jan Ili

Good recreation center with great staff. Didn't realize how many people come to this place. Very clean facility....thank you!

RANDY COWLES

Great staff !nice relaxing atmosphere, a little more costly ,than expected,

Money Lovee

This place is quite the experience! With little kids peeing in the pools and hot moms tanning, I could not recommend it more. I’m pretty sure they have a pool as well. Not sure tho, kinda got lost in the bathroom with the amazing showers. The downpour of the water in the latrine was breathtaking and perplexing. I am absolutely obsessed with one of the lifeguards. THANKS STAFF!!!!

Jenna Carrington Frazier

I've just discovered the heart of the community! Nice facility, Aqua Zumba is so much fun!! Reasonable price too. It's a great place for all community members to go for exercise and fun, both young and old, any fitness level. The people who work there are very warm and welcoming. It has a great community feel. Will be going again and again!

Shayla B

The best public Rec center. The entire place is super clean and the swimming pool has the best, most attentive life guards I’ve ever seen. Very impressive.

Juleen Smith

I wish they could get there staffing and pool hours back to where they were pre pandemic

Alejo Alonso

The facilities have everything you need, the bad part is that swimming lessons are limited and barely have availability.

Saunsiaray Broussard

My daughter goes to the daycare and loves it. I love how caring, loving, friendly, helpful, nice and supportive the staff are. Jon-Marc and Tammy are the best.

Elizabeth Baker

I love this place. The staff are all amazing, it's super clean, and I look forward to working out here every day.

sunday oyelaja

Love to swim here, got me a membership here and I'm loving it.

Cree Williams

Ive used the work out equipment, taken both Zumba classes ( water and regular) had a couples different chances to interact with multiple staff members, taken kids to there for a fun time swimming and just recently signed my daughter up for swimming lessons and I feel comfortable giving a review. The staff have always bern very nice and helpful. The three different instructors have been amazing. Especially the water Zumba. The facility is ALWAYS clean and fully stocked. It's never packed. Its a perfect place for our community to take to utilize and to give back to.

Mark Baumbach

Live this gym. Nice pool. Great weight room. I just don't like when it is overrun by kids

Jessica Schindewolf

The staff is very nice and it is clean facility

Rachel Foster

Great facility. Great fields, classes for everyone, nice gym, clean pools with kids area and a slide. Clean and well maintained. Nice helpful staff.

Positronics Affirmations Studio 1982

Friendly staff, good service, great price

Scott Schram

Great place and great people. Always very accommodating with us. Recommend the pool during the pandemic. It's usually empty!

Susan Miller

Great pool area to exercise. Clean water change rooms. Lifeguards very friendly Plenty of room for everyone.

Brooke Rupp

I love this rec center. It’s new, clean, and has great amenities. The swim lessons for kids are the best. You can’t find a better deal and all the teachers are wonderful. A lot of the teacher are students from West High and the young kids adore them. I expect us to be coming back here for years.

Lar Bear Stewart

Large park with the Jordan River right by it. And North Temple going by nearby within walking distance. And able to access Rec. Center from many directions!!🐻🌹🌻😋 …

Split Cascadia

Seems like a nice rec center for the community. The pool is missing a hot tub, steam and sauna though.

Logan Kemsley

This place is great! The staff is super friendly, the facility is extremely clean, the water was a great temperature and the lap lanes weren’t busy on a Saturday afternoon. I would highly recommend all Salt Lake county pools. 👌🏼 …

Will King

A new facility built by Salt Lake County which opened in June, 2010. It's a complete recreational facility with two pools (children's and separate lane swimming with observation deck), a complete weight/machine room, two basketball/volleyball courts, running track, aerobics room and shower/locker facilities. The equipment is well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. Membership fees are reasonable. Plenty of parking available. In addition, an older adjacent facility includes a senior center, day care and summer camps, and a computer lab. The grounds include several soccer fields, covered picnic buildings, a children's playground and access to the Jordan River Bikeway.

Hiro Robinson

The pool is clean and it is such a great environment to be in. Everyone is so friendly and I can’t wait to come back!

Lisa Parham

This is great for swimming classes for seniors , water temperature is perfect, instructors are skilled, love it.

Melissa Noonchester

Just signed up, the facilities look amazing and clean, the lady at the front desk was super nice. Update: have been going here for months. I mostly use the treadmills, indoor track, and day care for my kid. No complaints, it’s a great rec center! The kids pool I have used a handful of times and it’s lovely

Erin James

Did not plan on visiting the center while on vacation, but I'm very happy I did! Great facility and the staff was so helpful - recommended a local restaurant (The Red Iguana) for dinner, and where to go float in the Salt Lake.

Christian Lenhart

The perfect pool for new swimmers. My kids never want to leave, no matter how early we arrive.

Zay Solano

Been living in Rose Park 🌹 pretty much my whole life and have been coming here ever since they opened. It's really convenient, clean, the staff is really friendly and an all around great place to work out, play ball, swim etc.. I just wish the passes were a little cheaper. …

Lilly Teklemedhin

So fun to swim there, I like that they keep it tidy. Have gone multiple times, and many more to come!

Erika Romero

It’s a great place to run the track, use fitness equipment, swim, join a class and they even have daycare.

Abraham Paez

I enjoy going to the rec center. I wish management of this place could enforce the rules in a more accurate matter helping rude people to behave. Place is clean and safe. The parking lot could be crazy.

Jesus Ramirez

I love this place although I wish the bathrooms were cleansed more often thruout the day especially on peak times because the men's bathrooms or the family bathrooms smell alot like pee

Fawn Henderson

Good price, clean. Friendly staff for the most part. Not a huge weight room but it has everything you need. Track, pool, field in back. All around a good gym.

Jana Kent

Love the pool, which is always very clean and has plenty of slides, water canons and a lazy river. Great for all ages. Water is pleasantly warm. The rest of the facility is really nice, too. Their ski lessons for kids after school are amazing !

Cornelia Mikolash

Friendly place, good classes, swimming pool with also water classes for small and tall kids ;)

Mindey Krausert

Very family friendly Great place to run off some energy Pool, basketball, weight room etc

Tracy Allred

We love coming to the indoor pool. Its a good fit for all ages of kids.

Brittanie Smith

We love the rec center! Especially during the summer when we do swim lessons. The teachers are knowledgeable and friendly. The pool is nice and the classes are awesome.

Camille Smith

This is a great rec center in the Salt Lake area. They have the kiddie pool and the lap pool, a nice gym, basketball courts and a small indoor running track. The prices for membership or just day pass are affordable, even for families. The facility is ways clean and kept up. It is also in a quiet area and not generally very busy. This is also a great place for a swimming themed birthday party. You won't find a better deal for the number of people you can bring.

Steve Miller

Fun place for kids to swim!. Big slide, little slide. Fun water activities.

Nicole Money Smith

Nice swimming pool. The kids swim lessons are ok. Unfortunately there aren't very many options and it fills up way too quickly.

M1sterpineapple

I personally think this place is very good for $6. Swimming, basketball, a workout area, an indoor track. The workout area is very nice with a lot of different options.

Jose Sin

Very nice place always clean and busy

Richard Holman

It can get a bit crowded but as far as staff and maintenance of facilities they do a good job. Being the only facility of its kind here on this part of the westside, I wonder if they get a fair share of resources.

Stephanie Moreland

Great place for a family party.

Rahul G

Good gym. Nice pool. Has a indoor basketball court.

Ashley P

The indoor pool is fun for my son but it gets boring and a bit crowded after awhile. They're open year round and you don't have to be a member to use their facilities. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the pool kinda of sucks.

Stephen Whitmer

Most a wsome gym and rec. Center. Nice people, clean, not crowded.

Douglas Kidd

Great place to excersize, swim laps, play basketball

Connor Douglas

I would give five stars but they are not open until 6 and have limited hours on the weekends. I enjoy working out and our membership has encouraged me to swim for exercise as well. The staff is all pretty friendly and the classes are included with membership. I wish they had a steam room and provided towels, otherwise a great community center.

Reece Nelson

Finally they had hot water for showers, on 2.1.20, after almost two months of cold-ish, "inconsistent" showers. I'm glad someone finally figured out what part needed to be replaced, and did so.....(let's hope it keeps working well) Otherwise, this is best pool and gym in town.

alonzo ramirez

My kids love this place cool spot to swim

Rachael Hansen

The pool is great for kids. Daycare is great and not too expensive. The equipment is nice in the gym. It meets all of my needs. I just wish it had a hot tub!

Marsha Tiemann

My daughter attends cheer and loves it. They enjoy the pool too but dont frequent as often

Annie Liston Walters

Clean, decently equipped gym with a wonderfully diverse clientele. No Bros taking selfies on the leg press. Love it

DONALD ASHMORE

Free Showers from 11am-2:30pm. And in tough times like this it is very very cool and awesome.

D Child

Great place to work out. Family friendly 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 …

Neyla Sarcos

I like this place because has a pool, daycare and gym is a space for the whole family.

Patty Holman

Clean, busy, friendly, fun. Whether you want to lift, work the elliptical, swim or take a class this is the place.

UTAHnmaz

Very clean, reasonably priced pool and sports complex.

Matthew Cook

Great REC Center and Pool is nice for lap swimming and kids pool with lazy river. Reservation only during Covid.

Lana

Great local rec center. Good location for Rose Park.

Rachel Warren

Clean and well maintained. It gets busy right after school and in the morning. I love the lap pool and the weight and cardio area. The track is cool too. Plus, there is a waterslide, in case you are a big child (like me) and want to play.

Natalie Warren

Really cheap monthly plan if you’re looking for a good gym with a nice pool.

RaNae Bennett

Great water aerobics class with Darlene. Amazing facilities, second to none.

Jessica Haight

NW Rec center is a staple of our community here in Rose Park. We appreciate the work out facility, sports opportunities for kids and the childcare program is great!

Ang Williams

Kids pool, lap pool, many different kinds of classes for all ages and all sports or work outs, running or walking track, weight room, machine room, basketball courts. Nice facility and great people.

Bruce Boyes

Great pool. Heated floors in pool and locker rooms

Chris Anthony

Family friendly sports for the entire family. Swimming, basketball, soccer, etc. Easy to find location right behind the fair grounds.

Kristin Dahlin

Great lap pool. Lifeguards are very proactive to move people out of the lanes if they are just hanging out and not swimming laps. Clean locker rooms and great staff.

Mia Garcia

Super friendly staff 🤗 , only down fall the hours weekends they close early 😓 …

Jose Garcia

Always busy great place for kids nice yearround pool👍 …

More10

Great swimming pool. My two sons have taken swim lessons at the Northwest Recreation Center for the past 1 1/2 years. Swim teachers are great.

Barbara Clark

This is my favorite pool to swim in. The staff is awesome. They keep this place spotless. The best pool in SLC.

Jonathan B Williams

Great place to play sports and friendly staff

Bee Blast

Nice place but too many people there using the tredmills spray the disinfectant excessively causing others to choke from the strong fumes while they're running. Ventilation may not be too great. If you go at non-peak times, it's perfect.

Mike Hightower

Crown Jewel of the neighborhood. Well maintained, and even better ran. Staff is friendly and helpful. Truly a Community Center also both for the Seniors at Rivers End and the young folks.

Thomas Worob

Facilities are awesome. Locker room and pool are always very clean and doesn't feel overcrowded.

Alexa Perez

They should expand the workout space to put in more workout equipment. Too crowded all the time

Henoke Tadesse

I love this place I just want it too be cheaper please change that.

Terry Wise-Clark

Excellent place for family fun and exercise

ReD_Hugric

They have a awesome basketball court and swimming pool

B Travel mom

Clean building, friendly staff, great gym!

A/S

$16 for set of 4 adult swim lessons! Doug is a great teacher! Huge indoor pool and a separate huge pool just for kids. Make sure to bring a lock!!! I'm told they also sell them at the front desk. I've had my stuff rummaged through and thrown on the floor.

Marina Bina

Holy moley, this is a fine gym! I've been in their pool, warm enough to get right in. There was a class in the adult pool, so I risked it with the kiddie pool. I know what you're thinking, (I was thinking it too), but I tried not to forget how many times I peed in pools when I was a kid and pretend these kids had better moral fiber. Glad I did, there's a track with a strong current, so you can give yourself a workout walking against the current, or float with it. The reason I was in the pool was my knees. They were too creaky that day, so I made a point of trying put the pool. Usually I walk the track, work out on the equipment, or join one of the classes. I have a friend who takes the water aerobics class, and she loves it. Not sure if that cost extra, but the dry-land aerobics classes are free.

Xavior Oak

Dylan was super nice and super helpful. I was looking for a place to play pingpong and he helped me find somewhere that does.

Missy

Fun place for kids of all ages

MISTY YOC LOPEZ

The swimming lessons are great for kids and gives you something to add to your week schedule.

BTM “benz” BTM

Awesome family fun great pool for laps good pool for kids fun good for family to get out of house.

Izumi Okamura

The facilities are great!

Nicki Preece

Friendly staff, great facilities, very reasonable fees.

Lucas Salas

I mainly use the weight room there. They have a good dumbbell set, an array of machines, benches, and the facility is always clean. A couple things the weight room could use is a place to do dead lifts, and a squat rack. They have a smith machine but that's no replacement for a squat rack. Overall happy with the place and would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable gym.

Clark Knudsen

Great exercise facility despite being in a questionable part of town

The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and helpful

Jessica Diaz J.

Love this place, good environment for the kids.

Eddie Quijano

Very clean and great resource for the community

His here

Pretty good, but a day pass isn't worth 6 bucks

Brett Rydalch

Great pool and friendly staff!

Dustin Wilcox

They let you shower for free and for a bum like me thats G-O-O-D

BBA

Clean, safe, helpful staff.

Issac Juarez

They got really a fast indoor water slide.

Terry Broadbent

The Northwest Recreation Center is a beautiful facility. You can participate in many different sports, exercise and relaxation activities. You can practice your jump shot in the beautiful basketball gym, swim in the large pools, attend water aerobics classes, work out with a variety of fitness equipment, take a yoga class, run on the indoor track, and so much more. Children love the large family swimming pool with its various water features. Several activities are geared toward seniors. There is something for every age group and ability level.

Jeffrey Brooks

Great place for everyone from seniors to kids

Sarah

Mid day swims are amazing. The pool has up to six (?) Lanes so there is minimal circle swimming if ever. The basket ball gym has two courts with an indoor track on the second level. The track is accessible through the upper level fitness gym. The gym has free weights and weight machines as well as cardio optuons.

Alexander Wilcox

Great stuff here if you are looking to stay healthy!

Keith Peck

Three times a week when I'm not sick with my cancer which may be cured now good exercise

Bagel116 From tha park

Love the staff but this Saturday I went with my little brother and I have the 2 person pass the fat white lady that was on shift 5 pm 7/3/21 should get fried everyone cool here except her I don’t know if she thinks she’s a manager or something but she talked to me with the most attitude i ever experienced, today I wasn’t feeling like arguing but trust me when I say I would’ve put her in her place the disrespect I felt is horrible especially infront of my little brother, she was wearing a black shirt and really should just be fired people like her shouldn’t be working at a family facility with her dog looking face would scare all the kids away. Just disgusted right now

Dan Zismer

Great Rec Ctr. Teaching my grandson to Swim. The water temperature is around 88 degrees which is very comfortable.

Jona Sepulveda

clean facility and water is at a good temperature.

Tammy Guiver

nice facilities, can seem over crowded

Marie L Davis Caldwell

Clean. Good swimming classes.

Brenda Goodwin

Northwest Rec Center is super clean, super friendly, and well equipped. The leisure pool is great with a nice long "lazy river" and fun water features. The exercise instructors are knowledgeable and approachable. Personal Training is top notch, and they have a great class called "shape up" that is a sort of "group personal training". It costs extra ($55 for 5 weeks-two classes a week plus online nutrional guidance) but is so worth it.

Rick Ikegami

Clean training facility. Employees are friendly.

Mike James

This is a lovely facility, but the Sunday hours are incorrect on Maps. The facility opens at a 10:30a, not 10:00a.

Jocelyn

We come here to swim. It is nice, but it's always a fight to get a lap lane
