    This pool is huge! There are slides, diving boards, and all sorts of other things for kids to do. Speaking of kids, there are a lot of them here so if you’re trying to be chill and quiet…this isn’t the pool. The park is clean and the water clear.

    Hated it. It was horrible. The adults at this park did not respect the children AT ALL! They were cursing... Drinking.... Fighting...it was horrible. We left to go to a different park. I did not feel safe at this park

    This is close to me. The rebuild and renovation had made this a neighborhood gem! I'm taking free line dancing classes and I love it! Try them out it's nice in there and the front desk will help you if you need it.

    This place is a very nice very well-equipped inner-city recreation Center. It’s in a rough area of town on the east side But as far as recreation centers goes it’s top-notch

    The rec center, park and their programs have all been wonderful. My daughter has played 3 seasons of ball through driving park. All of my staff interactions have been great and aside from some litter it's clean. HOWEVER THE POOL STAFF IS A JOKE. THEY ARE RUDE FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. I RAVED ABOUT DRIVING PARK BEFOFE EXPERIENCING THEIR POOL, THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR STAFF AND THEIR ATTITUDES OR A ITS A PROBLEM WAITING TO HAPPEN. THEY ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL. The pool staff is going to discourage people from utilizing this center all together. Don't base your opinions on the pool alone. Not all of driving park is like that.

    Looooooove this little gym for my workouts. The staff is fantastic! It's not very busy, and I don't usually have to wait for machines to open up. There's lots of organized activities for kids, and the rooms are recently refurbished. The outdoor pool is nice, and gets a lot of use.

    Nice play area for children to have plenty of fun also 2 basketball courts a full tennis court as well a full baseball field and a beautiful pool that is kept clean There is a walking trail that extends into nature so if you want a longer walk I would recommend also pet friendly as long as you clean up after your pet it's a place to go visit on a nice day

    Swimming pool there and lots of fun with the family

  • 5/5 Cheryl S. 4 years ago on Google
    Its a newly up to date remodeled community pool designed for all ages to swim safely. The lifeguards are well trained, friendly and very attentive to the safety of everyone in and out of the pool. They even offer free swimming lessons for all ages for those of us who are interested. What I yruly like is that its right next to the recreation center so once the pool closes for the day you can go inside to continue a fun day a activities. There is also an outside playground, basketball court, baseball diamond field and a walking trail that makes driving park a good place to get your whole family out and moving. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and well trained in supporting the needs of the people needs within this community.
