I've been to a lot of rec centers for a hot shower while camping and this place impressed me. $3 for a shower with a free large towel, and the facility is very nice and clean. Friendly staff to boot!

The Rec Center finally got their Lazy River able to be open. Very glad. The pool is at least comfortably warm.
