Hot, clean, City water.Good, strong flowing showers.Perfect for the homeless individual in need of a bit of humanity.I was one of them fortunately, found work, maintaining the work still, and now housed since January 7th this year.Austin recreation center has heart.

The atmosphere is very lively with lots of people playing around different sports.Theres an fee of $5 for ppl playing badminton in the Wednesdays.Has a big parking lot and a huge ground for skating.The recreation center is open until 10pm

I wish they can allocate more time for badminton. Currently its only several hours on Wednesday, and there are always around 30 - 40 people trying to share 3 courts. You can imagine there is not much time for everyone. The entrance fee is $5, the facility is clean, and the staffs I encountered are nice!

I practice yoga with Jerry at the rec center and it’s great facility.There are so many props, from split bricks to cushions to chairs to the bar on the wall.It’s not a fancy glamorous studio but it’s exactly what I needed to get deeper into my practice. I highly recommend at least checking out one class here with Jerry.

Really nice inside for a free place to exercise! I am not a fan of their elliptical equipment as it is different than the types I have used before but having access to restrooms, a weight room and classes they offer - Awesome!

Review №48

The facilities are a bit run down but I go there for 1 reason....to Jazzercise. This is not some old-lady aerobics class. Its 45 minutes of intense cardio to current hits like the Black Eyed Peas, Rhianna, Beyonce and then 15 minutes of strength training using weights. If you arent tired after this class, you arent really trying.
