Meri Lou Murray Recreation Center 2960 Washtenaw Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48104

"Pickleball nazis. Learn the rules or they will yell at you how to play, how you can't practice. Rules are not posted. My daughter and I wanted to practice and despite open courts, you are not allowed to do so. Otherwise 5 stars for the facilities. It's affordable. The machines are nice, a little dated but plenty of choices. The pool is mostly for swimmers or lessons. Until you are a semi profesional pickle ball player, avoid."

"I recently enrolled my five-year-old son in the swim school at Meri Lou Murray Rec Center and I must say, it has been an absolutely fantastic experience. The facility is top-notch, with a clean and modern pool area that provides a safe and comfortable environment for the children. The staff at the center are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience enjoyable for both my son and myself. But what really sets this swim school apart is the incredible teaching talent of EJ. He is an amazing instructor who truly has a gift for connecting with children and making them feel comfortable in the water. My son has taken to him immediately and has made tremendous progress in just a few short weeks. EJ's passion for swimming and his dedication to helping each child reach their full potential is truly inspiring."

"Very big and spacious recreational center with so many things to do. There’s a large park behind it with additional recreational trails for walking or jogging and fitness stations. It’s a great place for affordable fitness enthusiasts. The location is also perfect for many living in central areas of the town."

"MLM Rec Center is affordable, clean as a whistle and everyone has been ultra mellow. You see all ages here; during the day, it's largely the 65+ crowd and more families in the evenings. That's part of what I dig about it. Wonderful courts that have basketball, pickleball, badminton and volleyball all year. I don't swim, but there is a lovely-looking pool area. Minor gripes: The facility could certainly be a little larger; the indoor track only has two lanes and as another review mentioned, there's no place really suitable for stretching other than the hallways. Vending machines have been out of order for months and water fountains are only for refilling bottles, so be sure to bring one."

"Cleanest gym you will ever see. Fantastic spot for silver sneakers crowd to remain active on weekday mornings. Pick a physical trainer early though as they are slow to respond or no longer taking clients."
