Bennington Recreation Center

"The update is beautiful and there's a lot more to the place now than there was prior to the renovation. My reason for it getting 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the locker rooms. They could really use a good cleaning aa well as the actual pool area or a bit of an upgrade. The shower curtains have so much mold/mildew & they need to be changed. Other than that my kids love it here and it's really the only thing left in our town for them to use so I'm thankful for them all!!!"

"Very friendly and helfull staff, all tidy and clean"

"My husband and I were traveling through the area on a recent ski trip and we stopped here just to shower. It was nice to get a hot shower after a day on the slopes, especially for only $2/person. We had to fill out a safety waiver and provide our personal information. My husband was surprised to see that the mens’ locker room has a communal shower and the womens’ locker room had individual shower stalls."

"This place is cheap for a reason. The weight room is extremely outdated and small. All the equipment is old, rusted, and even broken. They closed this place down several times due to construction that didn’t benefit anyone except for UCS daycare kids. It’s extremely frustrating paying for a yearly membership and not being able to go for at least a month of that year because of maintenance. You’d think they would’ve redone the weight room too so that’s it’s not claustrophobic in there. Any more than 10 people and it’s so crowded you can’t move around or you’re in someone’s way. Most of the staff don’t know how to do their job either. They don’t know wether or not programs such as yoga, for example, are being offered. They let small children jump around on the equipment like it’s a jungle gym. They can’t keep the pool organized or control the lap swims at all. It’s pretty much a free for all where everyone’s on top of one another there. Not to mention, the branch director fails to notify of any early closings. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven all the way there just to find a note on the door saying they’re closed."

"Wonderfully kept grounds! All kinds of activities."
