One of the best gyms/pools around. They have several basketball courts, racket ball courts, 2 pools both indoor and outdoor and the facility is well kept and generally speaking inexpensive. For the features it offers the price is exceptionally reasonable. One of my favorite places to visit. I almost dont want to post this because I think of it as a hidden gem as when Ive gone it hasnt been over crowded. They have spray bleach to help fight covid and clean the equipment. The staff is pleasant. They also have various classes.

Very nice recreation center. I went on a summer butterfly walk here and the guides were very nice. There were plenty of places to walk with and without paths. The gardens and vegetable gardens were very cool to look at. Plenty of parking and restrooms.

Very nice regional park with soccer fields, tennis, pool (indoor and out) as well as large open fields and walking trails. Only downside on a hot summer day is little shade on the walking trail so Bring a hat!

Large grassy area with trails created from mowing. Can be muddy and wet in some area from the rain. Its great for picnic, recreational activities, and dog walk. There are trash cans between the parking area and the large grassy area. There are a couple of portable bathrooms in the far side of the parking lot.

Great place for a long walk along many different safe, well maintained walking paths with reasonable rates for the gym and pool facilities. Rust Library is a great place to unwind and relax with tons of great resources and spots to spend some quiet time if anything else gets too crowded, too. One of my favorite places in Leesburg.

The facilities were super clean, the service attentive and friendly, also staff were helpful and she helped us overcome the difficulty of explaining the way to the location, as my google map was out of data, overall; this place has everything and is perfect for familys with small kids. LOVE IT !!

Ida Lee is great! We mostly go for kids sports and swimming classes, and have had a consistently fantastic experience with staff, facilities, coaches/teachers, etc. Price for classes cant be beat. Fireworks shows have been excellent and well organized as well. Wed likely be members if we lived closer; from what weve seen, fitness center is surprisingly well equipped for a rec center gym, and of course the basketball, swimming, and tennis facilities are better than elsewhere.

Its a beautiful park to get lost on purpose just to find peace and although impossible to get lost, the potomac waters are particularly visibly stunning to walk by...

I hope you never plan on swimming here cause I promise, you wont. Whether you come in at 5am or anytime at the end of your work day the only thing that you can be certain of is that a swim team, most of which arent even reflected on the facility calendar, will swoop right in and take up 5 lanes. That leaves 3 lanes for the rest of the public to swim in. Guess what folks, you can get a whole 4 lanes of the same distance at Golds, LA fitness and others without being run out of the pool by an unscheduled swim team dropping in. Might have to look into Claude Moore myself.

Nice indoor basketball court, indoor pool, nice weight/workout room but can get a little crowded. They have a fitness room for all kinds of aerobic classes, outdoor tennis courts and I believe climate controlled tennis courts as well. During the warmer months the huge outdoor waterpark is open. An awesome venue hosting all kinds of classes/camps for all ages.

Beautiful park in the north of the town of Leesburg. Even if you dont use all the amenities like the aquatic center, gym, water park, or tennis courts, theres still acres on acres of open space to wander or play with a dog. Theres also a decent trail that goes around the entire park. Highly recommend the annual fireworks show every 4th of July.

Im not from VA, but when I visited family in the area, me and my dad wanted to see some fireworks and even though it was raining, there was a spectacular show and concert along with food. Props to Leesburg accommodating thousands of people yet still having the best show in the county. There was a lot of parking for the event and we were able to get out quickly.

Very clean. Lots of equipment. They have basketball courts and s couple of racquetball courts. An indoor pool is available. Next door is an aquatic center. Non-Leesburg residents can get a day pass for just $7.50. Staff is friendly. Classes are offered in various disciplines, too.

Beautiful grounds and excellent facility but expensive even for residents. They often schedule swim classes and cordon off a large section of pool limiting your ability to swim dispite the entry fee.

Im sure under normal circumstances its very good, this time the 4th of July celebration and fireworks were rained out. Still, well run and we were able to evacuate by professional police and others. We plan to try again next year.

My friend and I went to Ida Lee to use the hot tub because she goes to physical therapy and was told that would help. As soon as we were seated in the hot tub, a life guard approaches us saying that we have to leave because she was wearing shorts and a t-shirt (mind you, there were others dressed the same). He said it was for hygiene reasons. We had been going all summer and only a few days prior as well, when everyone there had seen her wear these clothes before. We went up to the front desk and explained she would be in a swim suit if she could find one in her size. They proceeded to saying it was not allowed and gave us a refund with a number to call for complaints. The number given was to the same woman at the desk and not even to the man we were supposed to contact. This place doesnt even deserve 1 star.

This is the perfect community park I have seen, the Jim Burnett park in Winchester comes close, but has a much smaller community center and no library. Not to mention lack of indoor pool.:)

Good park. Great green for all types of activities. The playground is great for the little kids. There are a lot of trees for shade and coverage of it starts to rain. The pavilion is good sized, good enough for fifty people to squeeze under if the weather starts to get ugly. Good park!

Ida Lee Recreation Center is a great place for anyone in the community to visit. They have a wide variety of activities, sports, and other events that are constantly taking place throughout the year, and many are fit for the whole family. The swimming pools, tennis center, basketball courts, gym, and other open spaces are always well kept, and the staff is always helpful and friendly. The grounds around the Center are beautiful, and the fact that they are open for the public makes them all the better. For those looking for a location to take swimming lessons, go to the gym, or just hang out in the sun, its hard to find a much better area nearby.

Ida Lee is the place to be! This is where I personally workout (shout out to the body pump instructor Patti - shes the best!) And where we take the kids for swim lesson. We have seen so much growth with little kiddos - instructor Tanya, Jenine, Cindy, and Manor are the best!!! We also love when Oliver is home from college to teach!

What a great place. A real jewel of a recreational center. The swimming pool is first class and they always have multiple swim lanes and water walking lanes. And yes, for you how just want to “splash around” there is an open swim area and diving boards in the deep end.The workout room is the cleanest gym I have ever been in. They keep spray bottles and cleaning rags at station all around the gym. They even keep a fresh sweat towels on hand. There are lots of cardiovascular machines and a large free weight area as well.There are two racquetball courts and several multipurpose rooms with schedule classes (exercises).One of the best feature is there is NO required membership. Pay as you go, buy multiple use passes or half or whole year passes.

This place could be amazing! My friend and I called because we wanted to go for an evening swim. Yes they were open. We got there. Paid 14 bucks for us both. We saw 3 huge pools and were stoked! We walked into one pool room and got in before we were told this pool is closed for swimming lessons and the other pools were around the corner. We went into that room. 2 huge pools and a hot tub. Perfect. One pool was a wading pool. Meh, but great for kids. The other pool had lanes.....only a few minutes after entering, the aerobics class arrived, so we couldnt swim.....this literally left us only the hot tub. Which, I admit, was great.....but kinda defeated the purpose of my going swimming.Ruined it for me.....

The Ida Lee Rec Center has a wonderful aquatics area (among other amenities) with a pretty low price for entry, if you dont have a membership. My kids have taken swim classes here from the great instructors for several years now. The center itself is also very close to Rust Library and the associated playground so it makes a fun day for kids at very low cost.
