We have never experienced a recreational centre like this one. So many programs for kids and excellent facilities. The staff is top notch and very educational. Thank you for the wonderful day climbing!

Amazing space for a workout. This centre has two floors, various rooms, a fitness centre, outdoor courts and a playground.There are also fitness studios with classes. In this review I am addressing the fitness centre which is on the second floor overlooking the basketball court. The equipment area can get a bit crowded if you have more than six people. However, there are a lot of cardio machines. There are two cardio areas, a TRX station (which almost never gets used), weight machines, free weights with a couple of benches, and a small stretching area. The only issue I have is the mirrors which look a bit like circus mirrors that make you look a bit wide. One more thing, the staff is amazing.

Spectacular facilities everything beautiful and clean. Amazing park available for public use. For kids this park is phenomenal. The rec center has amazing youth sports programs. And adult leagues too. Everyone is helpful and community driven. Older kids helping younger grow to love sports an exercise. Water bathrooms a Pool even. So whether you want to buy a membership or merely enjoy the free amenities, there is something to be had for everyone

This is the most amazing rec center I have ever seen. It is new and has everything: pools, soccer fields, football fields, even lacrosse, volleyball, softball, baseball. Tennis courts. Pickleball courts in the back where some construction was going on. I was able to play even though I was a tourist. They have you sign a disclaimer online at the front office and pay a nominal fee. You can probably do that for some of the indoor sports and swimming. If you like a particular sport you don't have to forgo playing if you travel to Hilton Head. This place has it all.

Bright new facility was excellent weight room locker rooms, gymnasiums and even a rock wall.

I took a lifeguard certification course back in April of 2023 with Brian Koch. I reached out multiple times after completing the class. He responded once saying he was going to get back to me and never did. I eventually reached out to the American Red Cross and they informed me that he never even sent them record of me completing this course. I have since called the rec center as well as emailed Brian again and STILL nothing! This is completely unacceptable. I am now out $200 and cannot be a lifeguard because of how irresponsible our teacher was. There were 2 other girls that took the course with me who also never received their certifications. They have both reached out to Brian as well and never heard back. My employer ALSO emailed him, and nothing. I am at a loss of words for how unprofessional this whole situation is.

Handicap people should be aware that the Rec Center is only friendly to those who don't bring up issues like the handicap parking spots that the Rec Center uses for their equipment. They invited me to get a membership elsewhere. The facility is very nice but becoming more and more crowded making work out times longer due to waiting for equipment. Parking is another big problem at the Rec Center especially for elderly and disabled people. Disabled parking spaces are quite often taken by non disabled people. Even after pointing this out to staff and management repeatedly it still has not been addressed. My conclusion is that the Rec Center only cares about how much money they can make and not about how to provide good service to its members.

Thank you for your response however it did not address any of the issues but merely stated why you can't or won't do anything about them. Furthermore I have alerted the staff every time I see a vehicle without a handicap ID and they tell me there is nothing they can do, I even suggested they alert the Sheriff. Perhaps more training is required for staff. I would also like to point out that the 2 handicap spots on the side by the pool do not meet the state requirements for 2 reasons 1) there is a sign that has been parked in one of the spots for over a year now making it inaccessible 2) there is no unlocked door within a reasonable distance for these 2 spots. I intend to follow up with the state ADA regarding this matter. I make these points not to complain but to give you an opportunity to improve your facility for all.

Very nice facility - staff is great and multiple choices on type of work out. Has aerobic machines, weight machine, aerobic room walking track and free weights. also a separate swimming pool. Only complaint is that the weight area is small and can get crowded. They have multiple area with weights and different type of stretching area which helps. Spinning bikes and online workout videos are good too. Beautiful setting and plenty of kids/young adults around too.
