Medina Recreation Center

So I have had a rec pass for a few years. Currently expires in March. And I've barely got to use it because of the ridiculous weekend hours. It's a nice facility and my main reason for choosing here was the indoor walking track. None of the month to month gyms have a walking track just treadmills. But the issue is the hours on the weekend are insanely restrictive. Wouldn't you think more people would need to workout on weekend days? But nope only till 6 PM? And now the mornings aren't till 8 am. Plus they close all the time for random days, holidays (more than just Christmas and Thanksgiving), a whole week in July/August just for cleaning. It makes it impossible to form a consistent schedule if you have a job, are in college, have responsibilities, etc. The weekends should minimally be open till 9 pm like the weekdays are!

If the kids are wanting to go swimming and you don't want to pay waterpark prices. Make sure to visit Medina Recreation Center in Medina, OH. The last time I took Hannah she was about 5 years old and she loved it! It's just as fun as we remember it. 🫧 Very clean facility 💦 Body water slide Sat and Sun 12-5 🪣 Jungle Cove Big play structure with geysers, sprinklers and a tipping bucket and lion slide for little ones. 🍥 Whirlpool 🏀 Large pool that goes from 3.6 ft up to 5ft max with basketball hoop 🔥 Hot tub for ages 16 and over only. If no one is using it, press the green button ✅ on the wall to start the jets. It runs for 15 min and Hannah loved the bubbles and lights. 🐊 Sit on floating crocodile 🦺 Life vests to use 🌊 Life guards ♿ Handicap accessible 🌊 In the next room is diving boards and lap lanes 🌬️ Inflatable obstacle course only on select days March 23-24 April 13-14, 27-28 for ages 8 and up. 🚨 Underwater color changing lights *Not sure if this is the case all the time but they did not do safety breaks, so that was a plus, no interruptions. Looks like in the rules they do it 25 min to the hour at their discretion. Waterslide does not run until 12pm. 💰 Only 8.00 person, gives you full access to the day pass which includes gym, pool, track upstairs, and there is a room off near the entrance that has a rock climbing wall and fitness training equipment. @bring photo ID as it's required and you will have to sign in. Leisure pool with Jungle Cove opens on weekends at 9 am and various times on weekdays, slides open at 12. Check their website for days and times ahead. We had a blast, they have family changing rooms, and men's and women's locker rooms with showers and bathing suit spin dryers and sauna. Showers were clean, bring your own 🧼, 🧴.

Very clean fun for the family. Haven’t had a chance to utilize the full facility, however, the rec center is in partnership with Medina county foster care for job and family services and for that alone I’d give them 5 stars. Since ours is a foster family we were able to enjoy a free day with bounce houses and the swimming pool area for the kids. I would like to see an “out of county rate” vs. “out of Medina city school rate” since we live fairly close (just not technically Medina city, but rather cloverleaf). Just seems since our address is technically Medina, Ohio it doesn’t seem fair to have to pay $67 extra per month for family of 5 if I want a membership. Overall, we love the place and highly recommend it. It’s very clean and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Had a birthday party for our 2 year old here and it was phenomenal. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Party room was a great size and the jungle cove water area was great for kids of all ages and adults. Will be coming back!

The Medina Rec is the best! We had a birthday party for our daughter here. We scheduled online with Michelle, and she was very accommodating and kind. When we arrived, Randy, showed us around, checked us in, explained everything, gave us a cart to use to bring party supplies in. He had such a positive attitude/smile, was extremely personable, helpful and checked in on us several times. The facility, locker rooms, and bathrooms were very clean even though they were busy. I highly recommend this place for birthday parties or just visiting for the day. Thank you Medina Rec and staff for an amazing experience!
