Mesquite Recreation Center — Attraction in Mesquite

It costs $6 for adults, $3 for kids. (As of July 2017 anyway) They have a workout room with treadmills, elipticals, bicycles, rowing machines, ect. They also have a weight room. I don't use weight rooms, but it seems to have a good number of machines/stations. There are 2 racketball courts, a few basketball courts that also serve as volleyball, pickleball, ect. There is a ping pong table or two, as well as foosball. They have an indoor pool that's open year-round and is always around 80°.

The front desk ladies are usually nice and helpful.

We go here mostly for the swimming in the summer. Our kids love the outdoor pool. It's great for swimmers of all stages. Our 1 year old has a great time, and my husband who likes diving also enjoys it. Although, there isn't a high dive. The "big blue slide" is probably the favorite part of the pool for my kids (6 and under).

You always should, but keep an eye on your own kids. Don't rely on the lifeguards. There was one sitting right next to the slide while kids were going down in groups and head first (both not allowed) and he didn't say anything. I am not impressed with the lifeguards this summer. A couple seemed on top of things, but a few seemed aloof and like they had better places to be.

I wish the hours were better for the outdoor pool. Opening before the sun is at it's highest point of the day would be nice for fair-skinned people.

I also wish the prices were less expensive, or there were more affordable options for out-of-towners. For instance: Discounting admission (1/2 off or something) the last 2 hours of the day. If I am only going to be able to use it for 2 hours, not a whole day, why should I have to pay for the full day? Family swim should also be cheaper than regular. You get to use the pool for 2 hours if you're lucky. And, a "pool only" pass...

Bet RUDE RECEPTIONIST NAMED VICKI I was gonna purchase a 1 yr subscription until the receptionist explained to me I had to buy a single membership and a family membership for my grandchildren first of all my grandchildren live with me and grandpa then didn’t explain to me that I could buy a membership and pay 3.00 for any child so I was so offended I did not purchase a membership and it’s pretty bad that this woman was so rude I will take my money to another facility BUT OH THEY ARE THE INLY INE AROUND I think mesquite needs to build some other type of water park that’s a bit cheaper also for families that can’t afford it I WATCHED as she was also rude to the woman and her children that were behind me and they couldn’t afford the membership so the children were devastated sad that this is the only place to go unless you live where there is a...

Super rude receptionists lady. My family paid to get in a few minuets earlier. My sister and I decided to buy a ping pong ball. We went and asked her for paddles to use. She asked if we paid to get in. We replied yes, a few minuets earlier. She didn't believe us and went to check on the computer. She came back and told us none of us have paid, so we can not play. She then yelled at us for using our hands to play with the ball. Our other family came to meet with us for dinner, we were just going to wait for the little kids to finish showering then we would all leave. She then yelled at them, telling them they have to pay full price to just sit there for...
