Princess Anne rec center: Closes at 5pm on Saturdays??? Then theres the bad customer service & policy. Forgot my 5 yr old sons membership card for his swimming lesson, but I had mine, and the lady says, "...youll have to line up over there and get a day-pass for him..." Really? So we line up for the next person behind the counter, and after looking up my son on the computer, he treated us like the Gestapo and says something like, "...youre free today, but youll have to pay a dollar from now on..." Really? Why? Hes already verified on the system! Is this what we get for paying for a year-long membership? He threatens us with fines, and I wait for the day-pass but there doesnt seem to be one! So I had to ask him, "Can we go now?" Wow... Wonder if this is an East-coast thing... Or just Princess Anne Rec Center...

Friendly staff, exercise-oriented, equipment well-maintained. UPDATE on July 20, 2014: We quit going to the PA Rec Center after about 5 months as it had become like "Muscle Beach," with all the athletes co-opting the machines and not adhering to the 30 minute guideline for max usage, then freeing the machine (bike, treadmill, weights, etc.) for the next user. Administration did nothing to remedy the situation, so we departed, leaving the remainder of our years dues behind.

Best deal around with activities for every age. Decent before and after school programs. Yes its a hassle when you forget your card and have to get a day pass, but really who fault is that. Always friendly staff , wish they cleaned the racquetball court floors more thoroughly... however, I can see past it considering the annual cost is about that of a month for the fancier social pick up clubs

Signed my daughter up for ballet. Instructor was very nice and really involved.. The last day of the ballet lessons, kids got to wear whatever they wanted and parents were invited to watch. I was really surprised to see that my daughter was actually learning. I only wish it was longer sessions and more days out of the week. Signing up for swimming next!!!

Gym charged me a recurring monthly payment after I told them I was only in town for 8 days. They said it was a 1 time payment. 3 years later I see a charge from them for 36$. They said nothing they can do about it. I told them I was lied to. I am out $1300. I filed a complaint with BBB. Yes I do a bad job of checking my CC.

I dont know what it is about these rec centers but the people who work here are rude! Unwilling to answer simple questions ie. Is my membership still active. Rather than being polite or willing to help in the least, "please hold, Im really busy. Im not sure Im even allowed to do this". piss poor, earn your paycheck.

Its ok for the money but every one goes there because its cheap. You can never get on anything. The opening time at 11 am on Sunday is not good, the day is over already. They open after everyone goes to work and close early on the weekend. It would be good if the city charged a little more and open the gym at 5 am.

They had their open house today and it was not properly planned. Only 2 to 3 people doing registrations and the wait was over 3 hours long. It was to be done at 4 and the line was still out the door. They took the setups down even though people were still here waiting.

The gym itself is very good for the money, but since its a family recreation center its disappointing that they do not have a family workout room for people that have toddlers and infants. So youd have to hire a baby sitter if you want to use their facility.

Has a huge pool, decent size workout area, racket ball, and basketball available for use. Amazing for the price and would have five stars but the hours on weekends and holidays are very inconvenient compared to other gyms. Overall a great deal though

Nathan Kennedy

Nice experience, not quite close enough to home for us, but would seriously consider membership if it were closer. Appreciate the child care options at the YMCA more, but the Y also costs a whole lot more so its about what your needs are.

The Princess Anne Recreation Center has a great, friendly staff, safe and secure pool and gym regulations, and good prices! Overall, this place has a great environment and good prices for all the things it offers.

This rec center is amazing. Its very affordable to get a one day pass or even a membership. The pool is clean and the gym is spacious which is very nice.

Las piscinas, son muy limpias y grandes.

Kathy Higgins

Worst customer service experience ever. Clearly growing membership is not their priority.

Ashley Leslie

Best pre k and before/after school program. The center and staff are the BEST.
