The Salvation Army Kroc Center Hawaii is a large community center in West Oahu with extensive facilities including pools with water slides and a lazy river, a gym, a performing arts center, and various programs. Reviews find it a fantastic and beautiful facility that is clean, comfortable, and provides a peaceful, relaxing, and enchanting atmosphere for events. It is highlighted as a wonderful and best place for families, offering a bargain for family memberships that provide opportunities for family time, fitness, and fun with children, especially on weekdays when it is less crowded. The staff are generally described as super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. However, some criticisms note that class variety is limited, especially on weekends, and cleaning in some areas could be done more often. There are also complaints about the payment setup being dumb, with billing issues reported. The waterpark area can get super crowded on weekends. While day passes are available for non-members, making it fun for an occasional visit, the cost is noted as not something for every week. The center prohibits outside food but has an on-site cafe with reasonably priced items. Some operational aspects, like specific pool cleaning times and limited slide hours, are pointed out for visitors to plan around.
Wish there were more facilities like this in Hawaii, at least one on every island. They have everything you could possibly need, even church!

This place is so,awesome! Fantastic gym with well maintained equipment and workout machines, a huge lap swim pool with diving boards, a separate pool for the kids with a mini lazy river and huge slide, beautiful clean locker rooms. If I lived in Kapolei I would definately join!

5/2026 Really nice facilities and recreation area for families in the area who buy in. Go take a peak. The little cafe serves food too. The chicken wasn't bad at all! Venue is available to rent as well. 😉👎
