The Center of Clayton is a spacious modern community recreation center in Shaw Park. It is a fantastic place with a comprehensive array of sports, fitness, swimming, recreational, and lifestyle-enhancing programs for all ages. The facility houses four gymnasiums, a competition pool, a separate leisure pool with a water slide, a 30-foot climbing wall, and a suspended walking path. The fitness center includes cardio areas, weight areas, and fitness rooms, with equipment that is great and well-maintained. The weight and cardio areas are always kept extremely clean. The center also offers childcare, group exercise, meeting rooms, a hot tub, and a Subway restaurant. It is typically not busy outside of peak hours, though it can get packed during the evening rush. The Center is open to everyone with affordable and practical rates, though fees are higher for non-residents. Some guests note the bathrooms are often kinda dirty and wish for additional amenities like a sauna, steam room, or shower.
