Watch the grand kids play ball here. Havent ventured in to the building yet. Wish when my kids were playing ball they had this park open because they have beautiful well kept ball fields. Flooding is a problem always at this spot not as bad as it used to be. If you get tgere when the water goes down you can find fish in the outfield fences. Kinda cool. My boy took me out for frisbee golf (oh boy) and the course was just mushy mushy could tell they couldnt mow because it was pretty high and when im out in that stuff my brain turns on my snake radar and i was getting signals every where. Allright just for you guys im going to ruin a sweet little setup i got going here. No no i wont if i was getting paid i would but alas im in it just for the attention. Im single now at 60 (yippie) so i can be bribed with a setup if you know what i mean stc stc

I was very happy to get started here. The rate for the family of 4 compared to other places couldnt be beat. We signed a contract in December to get back on track for the new year, and I managed to squeeze in a class in the month of January. We come frequently to use the basketball courts, swimming pool, and indoor track. Last week I came back to take one of the classes again and I was told it would cost me $15 a month. It did not originally cost me $15 a month to sign the contract. Im not sure what has happened and I plan on contacting management, but at $15 a month for both me and my husband to take classes there on top of the membership fee we are looking at a fee of more than what we paid for our membership for 6 months. Im very disappointed and dont know how to proceed with this. It seemed like this would be the perfect solution for all of us in our family to get some physical activity and start the new year off right and now I am limited to just the facilities, yog a, and water aerobics. :(

I can only speak for the area outside of the pool in the locker room. There is inadequate restroom and shower facilities available. Also, the bathroom area at the pool is always unsanitary. On the good side. The water aerobics are excellent!

Great place to hold an event. My AAU basketball team held a party there for the players and their friends to raise money. Nice Courts. Not a ton of actual workout equipment. Nice track to run miles on. Outdoor track and trail is nice. Affordable passes and memberships. Nice heated pool and lockerrooms. Great place for a family. Everything for everyone!

They held a pageant there, (first time ever going)and I delivered a dress for one of the participant. They didnt inform us nor did I see a sign that said $10 for each person to watch. Again never went to one like this. And the lady told us at the very end that we owned $10 each. If I would have know I would not have set there. Because I was their to deliver and make sure the outfit for correctly.

Bishop Center Staff,Folks, I do like coming to the Senior Center for activities and do enjoy myself. However, as part of those activities, I enjoy playing pool (billiards) in the designated room. My ability to attend that activity is compromised as the temperature of that centrally located room is far too high. It is in excess of 78 or eighty degrees and that is very stressful for myself and others as well. Someone has placed a fan there but all the far does is stir the overly warm air.I know those rooms are individually temperature controlled thus I ask if it is possible to reduce the temperature for that room to at least 76 or even less. We older fellows would find it much more comfortable.Many thanks,Bernard McIntyre

Out of the four different recreation centers that I occasionally patronize in the Little Rock area, this is by far the dirtiest. The bathroom stalls smell of urine, and there are always bits of toilet paper floating around on the floor. Nobody comes to check the bathrooms/showers and to refill the soaps, which in the showers are also empty, and the paper towels. Considering all the extremely young people that work there and dont do much except use tax payer money playing on their telephones, I certainly dont think that there is a lack of staff that could take care of these issues. Unless the young people of Bryant are too good to clean bathrooms, which is the impression that some of them emit when you go to check in or ask questions. The workout rooms themselves are too narrow and crowded, and nobody is around to answer questions about how the machines work, or if you can change the TV channel. The inside track is the nicest aspect of the center. I do not think that the $1 more they charge from all the other centers, including Benton, which is new and huge, is at all worth it.

The park appears to be well kept and clean, aside from the massive amounts of sunflowers seeds by the bleachers. I am not sure the park staff can do much about that though.

Softball fields are OK for the most part.. Be warned, unlike Benton, they charge admission and they concession is more expensive compared to all the other parks in Saline county. Most items are on average about 50 cents more on everything.. Be prepared to pay even more gate fee and concession if there is a tournament.

I try to basketball after school, when I come here it’s around 4:30 I play basketball. The court is so dusty that I slip sometimes, the balls are so old with no grip, so many little kids keep shooting the ball hitting me. Not only does the place suck too some of the staff are rude. For example I was playing basketball with my brother and this man/staff member yells, “Hey Yo, give me the ball” I asked him why than he says, “Is that your ball or this places ball” I replied theirs than he justs takes it and walks off. First off I am not your friend so don’t come out of no where and yell “Yo” to me, secondly you don’t just come out of nowhere and take the ball I was using without a reason, I would have given it to him if he ask politely and gave a valid reason for why he need it; But instead he does it in the rudest way possible!!! I would give this place a 0 stars if I could never coming back again!!!

Stopped going there. I like to workout on the treadmills. They mounted TVs in front of every treadmill making it hard to concentrate on your routine. They wont let you turn off the TV without an argument.

We had a death in the family and needed a place for everyone to gather and visit since our family is to large for one persons house. It was short notice but the young lady at the front desk was very kind and helpful. She apologized for our loss and was genuinely remorseful. She could not have been more helpful or nice. I recommend Bishop Park for your meetings or gatherings. They are the nicest people you will ever meet.

Unorganized. I attended a party for a 6 yr old and we were unable to utilize the 3ft pool area due to an aerobics class. The gentleman (Bishop Park employee) whom helped my sister book the party FAILED to inform her that the smaller pool area wouldnt be accessible the day of the party. This was unacceptable!!!! We had to use the 4ft. 6in side of the pool... Most of the children werent even 4ft. This was a disaster and management should be ashamed for allowing this to happen to a child on his birthday.

Review №65

The center was amazing when it first began but now the pool is just a high school swim met pool and the gym/courts are always being closed for some event going on. VERY inconvenient bc I am a member since the day they opened. You only get a tiny part to swim in and the other pool that you would think should be child friendly bc it’s actually shallow is for 16 year old and older. Makes no sense. This place is no longer a local gym but a rental event building.

There is not one place in the entire aquatic area that anyone under 5 ft can stand ! Not even steps to get into the pool ! Only ladders ! If you habe a child I highly suggest you find another place to take your child to enjoy the water ! Only 5 ft deep lane pools and a smaller pool that oddly children are not allowed in .

Well first off let me start by saying originally I loved this place, and what it seemed to offer. My family, and I were so excited about it that we purchased the yearly membership. Then once we started going more it was always something. Every single time we go we have to move our things from one side of the pool to another because of a swim meet, or something, and end up only being able to share a small lane with several other people (I understand that the swim team has to practice, but why should we pay for a membership to swim thinking we have access to the entire pool when in reality its a very tiny portion). Also, we came to swim one Saturday afternoon even, and they were having a swim meet the next day. The people came, and started setting up for the swim meet an hour before the pool closed, and even sat chairs in front of me without asking me to move, and made it to where I had to move to see my children. I have 5 kids, so this is no small task. In my opinion they couldve waited until the next day to set up. Lastly, what finally pushed me to write this review today was the fact that I was sitting by the pool breastfeeding my 3 month old WITH A COVER OVER US, AND one of the female lifeguards told me to feed him inside by the vending machines, and that I could not feed him in the pool area. When I asked her why (since legally I can feed my son anywhere I need to) she said it was because people would complain. We have made sure to follow all of the rules, and did this time too although Im glad we hadnt been in the pool yet because its a little cold inside to be feeding a wet baby. We wouldve been freezing. I am disappointed in how everything here has went so far. Maybe it will get better. All in all the pool is very clean, and the facility is well maintained, but they could work on how they treat their guests, and members. Also, the heated therapy pool says 14 & under are not allowed, and I assumed because bigger children can be roudy, but dont date try to take a 3 month old baby in there. I understand rules are rules, but what about the moms, or dads who dont want to take their baby in a 12 foot pool, and would love to relax in the therapy pool where its shallow, and warm enough for babies. Maybe they should think about revising the rule to ages 2 to 14 not allowed. That would be understandable.
