Recreation Complex — Local services in North Platte

They really try to make everyone happy. They have lots and lots of options. They have spin classes, water aerobics, some good cardio equipment, racket ball, tennis, pickle ball, pickup basketball game times, child care, fun bouncy house time for young kids, some food (mostly unhealthy) and league teams for basketball, volleyball, etc. They try to do a little of everything and try to make everyone happy. Sometimes the result is they can't emphasize doing one thing great. For example, their weight room is not very great. Their two cardio rooms are ok, but leave something to be desired. The pool is really the only public option during the winter.

The only thing this facility has going for it is the price. I plan on finding a different facility this winter and am looking forward to a better experience this year! I would only recommend membership if you are in need of a pool or...

Have been going here since I was little. Some staff have been there for 10, 15, or more years. Always friendly, great swimming area indoors with water slide, toddler pool, diving boards, roped lap area, hot tub, sauna, two basketball courts, big locker rooms, weight lifting room, 2 cardio rooms (one upstairs in court area, one looking into pool area), yoga area with equipment, game room, and 2 racket ball courts. Good prices and the only negatives are the size of weight room (has one of mostly everything one would need but can get crowded), not open too late, and right across from a middle school so when kids are out they flock to it (just...
