It was my 1st time doing the Sista Strut breast cancer awareness walk, and I absolutely loved it!! From the stage set-up to all the different booths giving out freebies and informational things about breast cancer. I'm definitely doing this every year. The weather was perfect and the sun was shining. #Save the Ta-Ta's!! #mammogram #awareness #sistastrut #pink I walked for family and friends

The Kroc Center offers everything you desire from a gym and community center. This stylish, modern community center offers indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. The Center has a swimming pool and lap pool, indoor water park, spa, indoor and outdoor tracks and basketball courts. It's a great place.

It is nice to have a beautiful establishment in our community. However, I can’t help but feel a tinge of irritation at the level of surveillance in this facility. I don’t know why we as Black and Brown people tolerate institutional racism. Perhaps the racism is so internalized we think it’s necessary in order for us to do the right thing. Perhaps, it is because the Salvation Army’s does a variety of outreach programs and the security measures are necessary. I’m not sure but it makes me feel uneasy to have security guards around every corner. With that said, the people are friendly and helpful for the most part. Just be sure not break the code of conduct because they will get you together. The facility is clean with modern equipment and ample resources. The facility seem to take great pride and responsibility for the upkeep.The outside is kept up and offers nice outdoor amenities like pristine basketball courts, an outdoor track, and playgrounds. The pool was a major selling point for me. So many options for all levels of swimmers. Please be mindful that there is a swimsuit dress code (one piece only) and there is a family dressing room that gets unlocked by the security guard. If it weren’t for the heavy surveillance, I would have given this center an additional star. But because I believe heavy surveillance on Black bodies is unnecessary and communicates a negative message, the Kroc Center gets three stars: Facility: Beautiful, kept up, and clean Customer Service: friendly but under-staffed at the check in. Community: Wonderful. It’s beautiful to see families come together to build healthy lifestyles. You feel like you are part of the village. Our elders, our youth, our mothers and fathers are coming together to take care of ourselves physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Black Accountability Rating: Does this facility do right by our community and deserve our business? Yes.✊🏾

BRING DAY PASSES BACK CAUSE THIS EXCLUDES THE FERN HILL PARK KIDS AMONG OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS AND ADULTS. WHO AND WHY ARE YOU ALIENATING AN ENTIREGROUP OF PEOPLE BY OMITTING THE DAILY PASS. YOU SAVE LIVES WITH THE DAY PASSES. YOU HAVE CHURCH HERE SO I KNOW FORGIVENESSIS PRESENT. YOU WERE REALLY HELPING THE COMMUNITY AND SAVING LIVES. YOU ARE REPUTABLE AND CONVENIENT. KROC IS A BIG DEAL. REINSTATE THE DAY PASSES .

Very clean and well kept place.

Great faith based place for families. Lots of classes for adults and kids. You can book a waterpark birthday party. Also rent out the banquet room for an event. They also have a daycare and a cafe. Security on staff. Thank you to the Kroc family for investing in this community!

I am glad i did not allow the bad reviews to deter me from going here. I don’t have pictures as the place has a very strict policy about not taking pictures. No 2 pieces swim suits are allowed or other revealing suits. I can a appreciate this being a mom and wanting to keep this a family oriented place. Plenty of lifeguards! There were only like 15 of us in the pool yet they had like 6 guards. Taking a test and treading water is needed to be able to go to the deep pool. This shouldn’t be a problem yet some people is not happy about it. If your really know how to swim you simply take the test and that is it. Pool and locker room was clean and trust me I have been to many pools around chicago and suburbs. Lockers room have lockers that can be set with a new combination. No need to pay!

My kids are enjoying themselves at CampKroc definitely would recommend. Caring counselors and administrators stay on top of things and always communicated very well to me about what my children were doing while in their care.

3yrs ago I would be giving this place 5 stars. But the pool area is beyond disgusting. I only go for the pool because I have small children. However the build up that's visible in the pool is just nasty. I nean they had 2yrs to get it clean but instead just turned the water on and started the summer season. $12 for adults and $10 for kids to swim in a nasty pool. No thank you. And no lifeguard for their slide either.

So my family and i started a family plan at the kroc center. I put my mom as primary on the account because she already changed her id to her new address i didnt but it was my membership. My id does not match hers because i just moved south. they required anything with my address matching hers so i brought in a Amazon package and they said that wouldn't work "is that not anything" i called back after i left to discuss there refund policy when Josh at the front desk was rude and told me he could not or would not discuss the refund policy with me because i am not the primary person on the account. The refund policy is a general question and he keep talking over me. I understand rules but he should understand that i have paid for something that i can not use probably for the next month until i received mail so i want my money back. My kids are added on but cant come in without me because they wont let on. Smh

This fitness center is amazing. It has several state of the art exercise machines, fitness classes, Olympic size swimming area and comparable hours of operation. I am very excited to get into a fitness routine.

I attended the back to school event on Aug 16, 2023. The book bag giveaway was not organized and after two attempts at 1:00pm and 2:00 pm my grandkids had no bags. Upon leaving the event my 3 year old had to go to the bathroom. I was refused entrance to the bathroom in the Kroc center by the door security and the lieutenant of security. What threat did a senior citizen and a 1 and 3 year old pose to this facility? If the goal was to provide services to the public by inviting them to a free for “all” event this policy of no public bathroom should be revised .

Maisha was our tour guide and showed us so many aspects of the center that my girlfriend and I signed up an the spot. Maisha was a great salesperson. Can't wait to be a real member.

During the food pantry giveaway they were not calling the numbers in order they really act like they wasn't concerned or didn't care because they were too busy getting the food for their self people are standing in the line not because their hungry or homeless but can use the assistance With food Don't get me wrong I do understand that they should be entitled to the food too but the people standing in line should go first.

I did not know about this place until today. Its a place of recreation. I went for a business meeting but I did see that there were alot of kids attwnsing to play basketball and swimming. Very clean environment, very professional.

Wonderful place. Very friendly. Two beautiful pools and hot tub. Master's swim team.

I wish the gym membership was cheaper for college students. Membership went from $30 for a single adult to $35. The place is okay. The staff lets certain members slide with stuff. I came to the gym in a long sleeve crop top not knowing it was a dress code since it was my first time at the gym. This lady approached me saying “this is a church, and we have a dress code to follow. We need to respect the policy.” Something along the lines of that. I went to go change, and two older ladies were making fun of me for what I was wearing not knowing I had to follow a dress code. I changed then later saw a woman in tight shorts and nothing was said to her. Last time I checked the Ray and Joan Kroc Center is a community center, and the church is on the opposite side of the building. For a “church” the staff sure are judgemental.

Lots of stuff to do but I only use the weight room and the basketball court. Has all the bells and whistles but the court is slippery

This place is so beautiful and a staple to the community. I love the services offered and programs promoting healthy lifestyles, personal and community development and empowerment

Loveeeeee the Kroc center its a really awesomeness place to take your kids they kan swim, work-out, play basketball sign up for camp- ALLLLLL kinds of things just a reallyyyy kool place!! Keep up the awesomely great work Kroc Corps

Very Clean, Hot tub was a dream and the vortex was fun. Had an amazing time

They never answer the phone. I had to drive up there to see if the pool was open and when I got here she said it was open to everyone. Then when I got the kids out the car she said oh I thought it was only your kids, open swim isn’t for an hour. I am a member but this place is unprofessional.

Well, after speaking with manager I will be issued a full refund! Thank You. Registered last week...never told about the "No refund policy," left a message for the executive in charge of membership never received a call back! How desperate are they? The young lady printed up agreement said sign here, and quickly gave me the card and said you are registered. I get home called back and ask what's your cancellation policy...the young man says, "You can cancel anytime you like with no penalty." Still again, never mentioning their No Refund Policy! I registered to bring my mom @ 82 yrs old to utilize the pool due to issues with her legs. Her doctor unexpectedly suggested she only do the physical therapy for now, not to start any water aerobics..so I pull up the emailed agreement and there it is at the very bottom small print "hidden" No Refunds!!! This should be posted at the register as well as told to you when you register so that people will have a clear understanding of their policy....and will know to double check with their family member/doctor prior to sealing the deal. "You get more bees with honey" This Membership/Particular Deal Is Not Suitable For My Purpose At All! So, be very, very careful when seeking clubs of this nature who are afraid and/or not willing to share policies in advance.

The pool was wonderful today for my granddaughters and there friends.

The Kroc Center is a Top notch facility. They have fully equipped weight room, a variety of classes for EVERYTHING! I went as a guest to use the pool but really contemplating getting a membership there.

Why is there STILL no way to speak with someone at the front welcome desk. I shouldn't have to drive up there for general questions. This has been for years now.

Its a local facility with various things to do for all ages and it's fully equipped for the services provided.

My son has done some of the programs they offer for a fair price. Hes taken swimming lessons, tee ball, and basketball skills. Instructors were nice and knowledgeable.
