From the reviews
As a local Realtor- I encourage all my new clients to go check out this fantastic facility, even if they don’t attend the university, they can get a community membership and enjoy all aspects. It has to offer.
Awesome facility with tennis, basketball, track, Rock Wall, & safely spread out gym equipment.
Nice arena with good views. Upstairs the restrooms are at the far end of the arena. For some reason there's no handrails in the aisles on the East side.
15 year old gr-son raves about it. Personally other than raquetball courts 25 years ago, not impressed. Great hockey arena however
Birthday parties at LSSU James Norris Center
LSSU James Norris Center hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
