From the reviews

Decent place for fitness and sports. Basketball gyms are in excellent condition, but may be crowded. Weight room is rather cramped and equipment is old. Exercise machines though are plentiful and new. Pool is small (25 yards) with only four lanes. There is a climbing wall which is not always open.

I was in a wedding that was booked there recently, and the employees there were SO KIND, welcoming, funny, accommodating…….. I honestly can’t say enough nice about them! The facility was clean, and we couldn’t ask for a better place to have it at in the area. The morning/afternoon crew on Saturday was simply amazing!

When my family moved to Solon from Philly I was introduced to the Solon Community Center. A rock wall work out areas, an indoor track and a great indoor pool with an area for water walking and a whirlpool, this place has it all and a nice lunch counter. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Rock on🏖

I went to a university graduation party there. Three banquet rooms were opened to make one large room. This was the second time I have been there. Always well maintained, has large clean restrooms and a large paved parking lot.
