Olathe Community Center

I have been to roughly a dozen children’s birthday parties here since it opened. Not once has the water in the pool been a comfortable temperature. It is far too cold to be enjoyable or even tolerable. If you are looking to schedule a pool party, do yourself a favor and check out Matt Ross Community Center or Blue Valley Rec, they actually heat their water.

Would be 5 star review IF price was at least cut in half. We paid less per month at a nice country club a few years back. Where is the community in this center? At least offer free open swim once a month. Or just access to the indoor pool at half the membership cost.

Very nice new community center that my wife and I treat as a gym, but there is so much more. But let’s cover the gym first…
The equipment is new and nice, with by TVs and cable attached to the treadmills, bikes and elliptical. Decent weight equipment. ¹⁄₁₀^th mile track with three lanes. Basketball and volleyball courts. There is also a path outdoors that goes around the building.
The pool area looks great, and combines fitness and fun — lap pool, lazy river (that, at times, you can use to run against the current), but also a kids pool and two water slides.
We haven’t done any classes yet but there are plenty of them, and many sound interesting. May have to try one soon.
Lockerrooms are decently sized with private showers. This is a BYOTowel gym, so make sure you do that if you plan to take a shower. Also, soap and shampoo are BYO.
There are plenty of rooms for rent for meetings, bday parties, etc. The rates seem quite reasonable, as community centers tend to be. There’s also a place where you can pick up and return library materials that you order ahead, which is pretty cool and I’m in the process of trying for the first time.
For residents, you can get 2 people for about $ 64/​month, or if you sign up and pay for a full year you end up getting about two months free.
Olathe residents — we should be proud of this place!
