Great recreation center. Great staff and clean facilities. They overhauled some areas during the last year, great improvement. I have coached for their youth leagues for many years. This is a place our family visits often. Recommend you join.

Very well maintained Rec center and the staff was very inviting and helpful. I attended a rock wall birthday party with my 10 year old and everyone had a blast. I was impressed enough to ask about other amenities offered there. I would definitely recommend this facility to other people.

Called ahead for the pool, Staff was extremely friendly and the life guards even opened up the diving board for us! I appreciate that they took our temperatures upon entering as well! WTRC rocks!

It is a great place to go for fitness as well as meet others the staff is awesome always there to help and answerany questions you may have

So many lights and rides very nice

I like the day pass option. I travel a lot so a year membership didnt immediately make sense. Doing the math though it is extremely affordable even for a non resident (you pay a higher price is you live outside the township) great pace to stay active not recommended for competitive lifters. Multiple courts and Olympic swimming pool. Honestly five stars if they had more weekend hours.

I have been a long good standing member at Washington Township rec center. I am a resident . I use the facilities as do my children. I have been very pleased until today.I have a legitimate ailment that is covered in the ada guidelines that holds me back from wearing a mask. This is especially a hindering issue when I use the fitness room. I workout regularly to help combat this issue and maintain good health so I can have a better quality of life.Today- August 8,2020 8:36 am -I was denied access because I was unable to wear a mask. When I explained and was asked specifically what my condition was I did not wish to disclose that information citing to the manager that ada and hippa laws apply to disclosure. The gentleman blatantly told me hippa and ada do not matter. This was also addressed by governor Dewine to be understanding in this situation as he addressed Ohio recently.I left and after called and talked to this person who I, because I need to maintain myself, told them my condition and he said that was all he needed to know for next time. Completely felt discriminated against and violated to have to share my personal information to be able use a facility that my taxes contribute to paying for. Also my funds help support with membership and many other programs my family optionally use there to help in our community because we are proud of it.I am extremely disappointed, was discriminated against, and violated for having a medical condition today at OUR facility for wanting to maintain my health and support OUR community. Please correct this as I do not wish to withdraw my contributions as a good standing citizen to this facility but definitely will if this continues. Sad day.

A little dated in spots, but overall a really nice rec center in the area. The pool area is huge!We were there for the climbing wall, and my son a had a great time.

Amazing facility for local residents. Recing crew for after school, classes for learning, Woodland lights during the holidays, huge park to explore, its got everything.

We had our sons 11th birthday party here. The price for a party was more than reasonable and we loved that there was a child friendly pool inside as well as the adult pool and slides.

Very clean, very safe feeling, very friendly staff.

Overall great rec center except for willingness to accommodate folks with special needs.The pool is wonderful, the staff are great for the most part and they really try their best to be helpful.But there is only a dinghy place for handicapped folks to shower and change and despite requests there is little improvement over the years.Today my special needs handicapped daughter tried to bounce the ball AROUND the basketball court, far away from folks playing pickleball. I asked the folks playing BEFORE I let her bounce and no one complained. I tried other courts but none were available. But turns out one of the players complained to the supervisor. What a heartless individual! My issue was that the supervisor, instead of trying to reason with this individual and at least try to be accommodating, they kicked out my handicapped daughter. And a whole bunch of folks just watched as my daughter cried all the way out. Dont folks have a heart for the differently abled? For Gods sake this is a recreation center not the center court at Wimbledon!

I went to the park it was lovely. Lots of shade. Beautiful place to enjoy nature and the kids had a great time on the playground. One playground was closed...not sure why... but it was lovely. Not sure if there are public restrooms at the park...i just saw portable toilets. I didnt go in the rec center, but I was told there was a pool and that there are swimming lessons offered.

It was a tradition that we started in 2018....we went again this year....so much fun with our toddler granddaughter. .wonderful and beautiful. ...thank you

Beautiful park on the outside. I havent been in, but the park is great.

Excellent facility and pool area is well ventilated. Staff is friendly and helpful.

This place is great. We were guests for a birthday party but all the different options for parties had all of the adults amazed. We joked we all wanted birthday parties there, but are grateful we got to see it. The pool has 2 water slides that you can race, a standard diving board and deep end and the main pool is large enough to leave lane lines in for 3 lanes and still have a good bit left for recreation. Theres also a smaller pool that is shallow and has a frog and turtle for smaller children to play on. The lifeguards were alert and attentive and professional. The staff at the desk was helpful and friendly. It was a great experience.

First time here and my son enjoyed his cake and pool time.

Went here for the Christmas lights. I feel like the light set up could have been a little more advanced and interactive if possible. Paying 8$ a tickett and them having what seemed like endless sponsors, i expected more.The horse drawn carriage ride was a nice touch. Their grinch world was pretty weak.

I already updated this review months ago, I dont understand why it still showed as negative!? Anyhow, the issue was resolved, thank you very much! :)Original review:I went to the pool yesterday for the first time since I moved here. Love the cleanliness, the patrons, the whole thing but the water was intolerably cold. I couldnt swim for more than 15 minutes as my muscles tensed up and my ears hurt from the icy temperature. Its a shame as the place and staff are very nice.

The Christmas Lights are always outstanding. The grandkids really like the rides too.

Ok facility. Is a bit run down. fitness center too small. Staff is friendly and helpful

The holiday lights are excellent. Lots of paths to stroll, Santa to talk to, a few carnival rides included in the price. We enjoyed the animal exhibits too. This park looks like a gem for general use, but were not close enough to visit regularly.

Nice small gym, large pool. I enjoy personally going to the yoga classes.

It was the first time I was in the center, I could not have more impressed. I joined the Silver Sneaker program. I think it was a very smart idea.

Awesome location, all kinds of activities for kids and adults. Super friendly desk staff and the support staff was excellent!!!Great local amenities nearby to include; fine dining, casual restaurants, walking distance to numerous boutique shops and curio vendors, excellent sight seeing opportunities to do as well.

Great place to walk or run on the indoor track.

Filled to the brim with kind people and community activities. They have rock climbing, swimming, karate, and basketball...just to name a few. The staff is awesome. The facilities...older but well cared for and amazingly diverse. Family friendly but also have things that singles and older adults would like too.

My boys. Fishing. Fun. Brotherly love.

Nice facility. Great staff.

Great for kids and love it staff is so friendly and facility is very clean!

I will look for any excuse not to exercise. After years of not being a gym rat, though, I do enjoy the walking track and weight room to (try to) stay in shape. Just wish they opened early on Saturdays, too. Friendly staff, quiet in the mornings, other patrons are friendly, too.

Went for a 4 year olds birthday party. The staff was miserable. They made a 2 year old get out of an empty pool at 12:58 because open swim didnt start until 1. Petty rudeness, and a general snobby attitude.

Music instrtuments were so much fun!!

Great place to play, work out , swim and have so fun

Love this place, has all types of classes for my children.

Nice variety of activities for kids and adults. Staff is friendly and facilities are clean and well maintained.

Visited over a holiday, so I am not a regular user of the Rec Center. Very friendly staff with basic equipment -- enough to get a solid workout in. There is a fee for non-residents, but it is reasonable.

A great way for my 5 year old to burn off some energy!!

Love this place. Friendly staff. Fitness area is suitable size for the clientele. Lots of activities for the young and the young at heart.

Very well kept facility!

Just dont take your kids to the Easter events. Waist of money.

Fishing Derby today was awesome! Lots of fish & lots of winners.

Great programs, great facilities and great staff - It is a great place! Wide variety of activities - indoor and outdoor, multiple facilities (clean & modern/updated), offer a wide variety of classes and programs for all age groups. Plus, facilities and many programs are available all year (every season is covered). WiFi, clean, ample parking, easy access in person and online, knowledgeable and friendly staff, plus AMAZINGLY affordable - even for non-residents. Fun for all ages![Updated - our household (family) recently became complete pass members - for less than it would cost for an individual membership at many of the other options available in our area....so I wanted to add a great deal to the list of what makes this place great!]

I really like this place, from the pool to the park it is an all around great place. I used to swim here as a kid and now I get to watch my kids swim here. After meets you can always find us on the chime playground.

Wonderful recreation center in south suburb of Dayton, OH: with very large indoor/outdoor pool. Has lanes, diving board pool & shallow pool choice for water aerobic group or individual walking for resistance exercise.Numerous basketball courts, large yoga area & even larger equipment room with aerobic machines plus weight machines & free weights. Even an indoor climbing wall!

This place is amazing... My kids love it here. Its a ton of fun the staff is great

Its a nice rec center. Well maintained with a variety of activities. A nice addition to the neighborhood!

Washington Township Rec-Center is our families go-to public pool. The new slides are awsome and the pool staff are on-the-ball about kids being rough and rowdy. We feel very safe here.

Really like the amenities and the people here. They are all friendly and will help you with whatever you need.

Great asset to the community in both staff and facilities,

Did swim lessons here with a 2.5 year old. Facilities are nice and the water was warm all except one day (and it wasnt really too terrible that day either). Mens locker room has nice showers, adequate locker space, and a swimsuit spinner/dryer machine.

Love this facility. Nice size gym and great pool.

Very friendly office staff! Very competent class instructors, for the most part. Machines in the weight room can have a wait time at popular times of the day, but thats normal at just about every gym. Wide variety of class offerings. Overall its just a really nice place to work out, visit, walk trails or fish.

Good place to workout

Have been disappointed every time I have tried to deal with them. Classes are too expensive to have no shows and nothing taught.

The Rec Center has a very nice pool, a gym that has been taken care of, and has great programs for people of all ages.

Nice pool but vending machines wont take $10 bills. They are loosing a lot of money from their potential customers.

Pretty bare-bones gym. Limited fitness equipment, no frills, especially compared to the Kettering Rec Center.

The Family enjoys the rec center

Really nice little retreat in the middle of everything! It will surprise you with how quickly you can escape the asphalt jungle.

Lots a grandson fun in the kids pool .

Nice facility. My family booked this center for our 62nd Family Reunion fish fry. Besides for the double booking issue which ended up being a plus for us since we got the building and not the outdoor pavilion with all the rain that day. Nice job!!

Frog pool!! My family loved going here for a good swim in the winter time.

Great place place to watch our grandson play soccer

Little ones playing soccer..whats not to love

Wonderful place for families.

Very nice rec center... Was there to watch a bb game and it had been years since I was there.. They have added alot of updates to the center ....running track, locker rooms for children and adults are separate...and other things...

I usually go with my friends to play basketball the overall experience was nice and the courts were pretty clean but the staff a somewhat rude so thats why I took off two stars but otherwise its a great place

Our family loves coming here. Their two slides and pool are awesome!

The pool area is great! Nice rooms for birthday parties, too

Love the Dayton Ballet senior tap dancing class. Richard rocks!

I know this text will fall on deaf ears, but I want my perspective to be aired before the levy goes to a vote on May 8th over increasing the funds to the rec center. I hope you can empathize with my story, being someone who has spent a great deal of time at the facility. Ive enjoyed a diverse breadth of activities over the years, however, the allure of the place has faded and I’m left with dissatisfaction with the entire facility’s management and the subsequent culture that manifested from the top down..The recent actions at the rec center I disagree with include: the addition of advertising in Woodland Lights without a decrease in the price of admission, allowing Dayton Ballet to practice at Rec West without a discount on tickets for Township residents, reduction of pool hours on Friday for movie night without letting pass holder’s know, removal of Employee of the Month plaques out of the hall leading to the administrative offices in order to put them out of sight in the human resources area, removal of the pictures of the recreational teams from the main hall, spending on superficial things such as big screen tvs, new coats of paint, and a double sided slide that requires another employee present at the top without increasing pool hours.The rec center has a very small workout room, limited hours on availability for the pool, and a lack of opportune times to go there. The first part of the levy advertising on the WTRC website speaks to “Funds the township’s expansion of services for senior adults” which right away let’s you know who the primary demographic the rec caters to and historically are most likely to vote on issue 16. I have seen the same people there day in, day out yet the rec center seems indisposed to change and expand its services towards all 56,000+ residents in the Washington Township. The fact that one has to sign their name in order to make a suggestion or comment speaks to the reality that the rec would rather know who the information is coming from rather than what the idea is.I’ve always wondered why there are so few people there until I discovered LA Fitness down the road. The place is open 7 days a week 5 - 11pm and has a pool half the size of the recs and a workout facility that trumps anything the rec can hope to aspire to. The pool is open as long as the facility. The admission price per year is actually better than the recs when you consider the hours it is open.The Recreation Levy talks about how little the Township spends per capita, but if you understand that per capita takes into account the number of people, the Township is actually overpaying. It’s laughable that the graph includes affluent areas near Columbus without considering how large the Township is and the affluence of its own population. If you want to be comparable when it comes to recreation centers, Vandalia’s Recreation Center is not only new, but also available for longer hours for all the activities it offers and the area contains 15,000 residents from the 2010 census. The availability includes the weekends when people have the most time for leisure activities.If none of this information makes you think twice about passing a levy giving more money to the rec center here in the Washington Township then perhaps I should explain that the administrator of the rec makes $85K a year as of 2016. The senior recreation supervisor makes $74K, and the township administrator of Washington Township makes over $150K a year. All this data from the Dayton Daily New’s I-Team Payroll Project. This amount of money spent on administrative expense is ridiculous given how little effort these people make at improving the areas they reside in and seeking feedback from the populous. So I ask anyone reading this to understand that the role of government and the services is not what you can do for them, but what they can do for you. This levy should not pass without first trying to maximize the efficiency of the rec’s services and take an account for the activities its administrators conduct on a day to day basis to justify expense.

Went to see the lights but didnt know there were animals on display and in cages. It was heartbreaking and I will never return again. Animals are NOT here for us or for entertainment.

Great pool and clean environment. Reasonably priced for residents.

Great place to see Christmas lights, as well as let your kids play, and go for a leisurely walk!

Great programs. Brand new slides in large pool area but the other facilities could use updating.

Went to see the woodland lights display good time for the whole family

Great family environment with lots of class offerings and an amazingly helpful staff; all for a very reasonable cost.

The basket ball court was covered in dust and the lifeguards at the pool were yelling at a bunch of little girls for grouping together in the pool because it was a hazard

Great Christmas Light Display and great date night. Plenty of fun for the whole family

Great place

Very nice place good. Very nice for kids and family

Great rec center!

The swim lessons are a joke! I signed my daughter up for the preschool class thinking that she would learn more or at the same level as she does at Aquatots. Its anything but that! I told the main lady at the rec center that my daughter knows how to swim so all they needed to do was test her and move her into the next class. That lady just stared at me like I was stupid and wouldnt even consider giving me my money back! Lesson learned - do not sign for lessons at the rec center - its a complete wreck!!

Great price to keep the whole family active year round.

Took grandkids to the park there. Very clean and equipment is up to date.

So much fun!!!

Disappointed with the pool lately. Way too crowded with campers and theyve removed both the big slide and almost all of the lounge chairs. I will not be buying a pass again after this year.

This park has three playgrounds and a pond with a dock and is a nice place to walk around.

A wonderful place for children to explore and just have fun.

Childerns pool. Completely separate with a slide, waterfall and submerged animal to climb on.

Its so fun on the slide and divingbord I love it

Nice facility with a lot of classes and things to do. I have been a pass holder for years, only complaint is open swim hours are lacking.

Great place to get your workout in. Friendly people, reasonable prices and rarely a wait for equipment.

Workers are rude and they took the big slide out at the pool. They are open til 9 on weekdays but on weekends they are only open til 5. Doesnt make since they are just turning down business

My daughter loves it. The staff can be a bit rude.

Great place for kids to growup and have great memories.

First time, very nice. All I need to work out.

Great selection of programs, events and leagues for all ages.
