Arlington Ridge Center — Local services in Wheeling Township

Truly a great establishment, and offers a wide variety of equipment and things to use . I hope that this message doesn’t fall on deaf ears , and that truly something gets done about this though. I’ve been coming to the ARC center for about a month now , and every time I go to swim at 7pm there is nobody ever in the deep well pool . I am a diver , and you all offer Olympic level diving boards , and I desperately desire to be able to train my diving . However , the diving boards are only open from 4:30-6pm, and this is a time where there are a multitude of children at play, and a majority of adult are at work, making it impossible to dive at your Facility . It would truly be appreciated if you allowed 1 hour of driving practice for locals between 7pm-8pm . Just like you allow 4 sessions a day for deep swimming , please allow time for diving , even if it’s 6 or 7am . Just create a time .I understand it could be a staffing issue , but this is easily fixed with a quick swimming test , and a waiver . Please please please ARC. You spent so much on this facility. Allow local talent , and our soon to be drivers have a time when they can dive without disruption, it truly would be greatly appreciated. EDIT ::: DIVING BOARD was open this morning . See it while I was lifting this morning ARC, the...

Hi! I have a full Play Pass Membership to the AH Park District. I am in the senior population. I primarily go the ARC (Arlington Ridge Center) and use the Wellness Pool for an arthritis based exercise routine. The water is set at a temperature of 85 degrees +. This is wonderful on the joints especially for a pesky knee. I have been going about three times a week for close to a year now. I go in the early morning hours anywhere from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. The facility is absolutely wonderful. I usually work out an hour, however, with Covid the times have been constantly changing to accommodate all the swimmers. Now it's the summer schedule, and all early morning hours for the wellness pool have been discontinued. This is very sad. Now the earliest one is able to get into the wellness pool is 12:15 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday (6/14 - 8/19). It appears on the schedule that Fridays (6/11 - 8/20) is available at 9:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m. but the staff doesn't seem to be too sure about that. It appears that the Arlington Heights Ridge Center doesn't cater to the needs of the senior population during the...

Kudos for getting the place reopened on schedule, but the renovations to the existing lap pool and dive well area are very disappointing. Yes, a coat of paint and some new ladders are nice - but the same old tile floor, the same old leaky sauna, the same deteriorating diving boards, and the same unattractive metal bleachers - have stayed. You'd think those things would have been revamped as well during a multimillion-dollar renovation. Obviously not. Makes no sense. The warm water pool is fine, and warm, but I don't know how they're going to have classes in there. The HVAC is so incredibly loud, you can't hear yourself think.

But by far the worst part of the renovation are the new locker rooms. I would say there are now at least 80% fewer lockers, only 5 showers, and no privacy whatsoever. This was not well thought out at all. Let's hope at least the low water pressure and water temperature fluctuation issues from the old showers have...
