“We have worked with Blue Hill Event Center for the past couple of years for our annual Practice Trick or Treat event. Our families love having an enclosed grassy area for the kids to play in, and the ground-level bathrooms are great for indoor and outdoor access. Their spaces are flexible and their table rentals have been so helpful! As a small business, we value supporting other local businesses, especially one that aligns with our core mission. (Check out their partner, Extraordinary Ventures)”
“Last evening, the League of Women Voters of Orange Durham and Chatham Counties held its first in-person Annual Meeting since 2019, and could not have found a better venue for the occasion. Manager Brandon was a pleasure to work with in every step of the process. Executive Director Lisa Kaylie also deserves a big thank you for helping us close up the beautiful space. Both are great advocates for their mission of creating a safe and fulfilling workplace for people of neurodiverse abilities. We fully support them and look forward to coming back.”
“Amazing atmosphere and so much fun! Great classes for all ages, levels, and abilities! Mestra Tigresa is an incredible resource and instructor. Highly recommend!”
“The SSSRC is a great neighborhood pool. It was just completely renovated last year - beautiful new tiling in the pool, new locker rooms, outdoor shower. It is a jewel for those living in the neighborhood!”
“This is my favorite place to give blood! I don't do as well at the drives. It's very clean in there. Everyone is very nice and caring. You get snacks and juice after you give. Sometimes they give little gifts too. They contact you a lot when you're eligible to give again because they hope you give again as soon as possible.”
“Had some issues with my login and the woman on the phone who helped me was so polite and hilarious! I wish I’d got her name so I could commend her. Excellent customer service, fixed my issue up promptly!”

“I’ve been going here for about 2 years. Now that it’s hours, services are back to normal, it’s been great.
I have a kid and I take advantage of free child care, especially Saturdays. It’s not all the hours I’d like, but I’ll take it. They offer 4 days of child care at different hours. You get up to 2 hours free. And the staff are great with my energetic kid. They also have family swim times as well.
They’ve recently updated both weight and cardio machines. A wider selection and mix.
The place is/has always been really clean thanks to amazing and attentive staff.
I always feel welcomed when I check in.
Can it get crowded? sure. This isn’t a Planet Fitness. Let me repeat that. This isn’t a commercial fitness center. YMCAs serve their communities, so if you don’t like to be around kids going to summer camp, preschoolers taking swimming lessons, older folks doing water aerobics, GenX doing Zumba, or respectful teenagers lifting weights, it’s not for you.
But if you like to be in a space where people of all shapes and sizes are welcome, please check it out. You can also hang out and chat with a friend over coffee. They have coffee, too.
I’ve also found that if something’s missing, I tell them and they look into it. Like child care during an evening Zumba class. But this not a make or break issue.
Parking can be a bit difficult during the weekend and afternoons, but I’ve always found a space. They have parking in the back. And I also remeber to just get there 15 mins earlier next time.
I haven’t taken many classes but they are usually full, so these instructors are doing something right. You can use the app to reserve spaces.
I have a personal trainer I meet with for 30 minutes 1-2x month. She’s professional,knowledgeable and hard working. And a UNC undergrad! Highly recommend for kickstarting your routine. I’ve been working with her for over a year.”
“Excellent however, is not affiliated with all good wheels. There are no returns at this particular Goodwill in Chapel Hill.
“What you get is what you get & you Don’t throw a fit.”throw a fit.
This particular Goodwill has a wide variety of jeans, mostly namebrand jeans, such as diesel, AG, Hudson, and anthropology, they also carry some great scrubs by “Figs” at only 4.99 or 6.99 you just can’t go wrong.
Good luck & Good-Willing!””
“HIDDEN GEM!. This goodwill has certain deals other goodwills don’t. One time they had pins for 25¢-75¢ each and they were basically brand new! Another time they had plushies on sale lower than they normally were with popular figures like fuglers. They’re a nice thrift store you should definitely give a try! I tend to find lots of alternative stuff here if that’s the kind of thing that interests you.”
