Regular here. Well kept facility with full basket ball courts, walk/run track upstairs, recreation room, squash/raquetball courts, swimming pool, and well appointed work our room (free weights and machines). All for a ridiculously inexpensive annual price. However, it can be crowded at popular times, especially Monday and Wednesday after work. I've had some issues with people not following basic rules (putting weights back, sitting on machines during break, and people not controlling younger children) - not a deal breaker but something you have to tolerate.

This place is amazing. There are so many things to do, and for the price it is unbeatable. All facilities are kept clean and working at all times.

My kids go to this place for their summer camps. It is a great place to stay indoors in summer.

Comfortable atmosphere, nice facilities for kids and adults too. Several basketball courts and classes for different ages, well maintained swimming pool, gymnastics, Martial arts, walk and jogging tracks ( on the 2nd floor) and many more attractions make people fulfill their most of the recreation need. Stuffs are well behaved and helpful.

This park is gem of Plano. It has tons of sport fields and indoor sports. Very large, must visit beautiful park and rec center. Great for walks and runs to. Great new skate board park. Thanks Plano!

There was very bad service. We booked a volleyball court and was asked to leave after setting up the net which took some time because they made a mistake. After that we were moved into another court where we had to set the nets up again, which took a lot of time. We definitely did not get our moneys worth and the staff was very rude.

Very good, all around community rec center. Need City of Plano membership (but doesn't cost that much). Indoor walking track, bb courts, pickle ball, hand/racquet ball courts, exercise equipment room and indoor pool with neat slide.

Came here for a birthday party, on the second floor. Seems like an older, dated building. Pretty cool rec center. Enjoyed the indoor track and lots of signage. I peeked into the gym from the outside and it appeared pretty big and spacious. I hope to visit again, hopefully as a member :)

I've been coming here since I was a kid (over ten years now). The staff are friendly and on top of things. The gym has updated equipment, and the two basketball courts are a great place to shoot around or play a pickup game.

A first class rec ctr with a new pool including water slides, gyms, track, classrooms, workout equupment, and more.

Soccer fields are in great shape and well lit. Bathrooms are clean and there is bleacher seating at every field. We love playing here!

The new indoor pool is great! The big slide starts indoors, wraps around the outside corner of the building and ends back inside! There is also a smaller slide for the littles. The mini lazy river has a strong current and so much fun for the kids.

This review is for the PSA facility located at the park. The "gym" features lots of basketball and volleyball courts in a nice, indoor and air-conditioned building. The concessions are usually open during the weekends and the facility itself is well maintained. If you are looking for a place to sign your kids up for sports, this is a good option.

Great place but there was a lot of wait to get to a court but the prices were ok overall good place that I would recommend

From repeated encounters, the staff is continually pretentious and rude. There is no regard for those who go to the recreational center. The recreation center itself is often overcrowded and not taken care of very well. It makes it hard to use the facilities and impossible to make an enjoyable experience even if you manage some degree of access. I would not recommend going to this recreation center. There are many other options available in Plano with better staff and more readily accessible facilities. This is the case even if you are not willing to pay for a private gym, as Plano offers other recreation centers. Save yourself an experience you will come to regret and avoid the Carpenter Rec Center.

this recreation center is just fine, the weight room is my favorite spot in the gym, and since I don't know why they took so long to build a swimming pool inside the building, and that's why I didn't give them a very high rating. the track on the 2nd floor level is very rough to run on, and some people wouldn't follow the posted rules on the basketball courts when playing basketball. I one time might have sawn a guy play basketball without a shirt. and most people cannot play table tennis on the weekends, because they are taken up by a group of people who want to play table tennis on the weekends, and nobody else can play, because they are so competitive at it and don't want anybody else to play. this recreation center is a little bit better due to the addition of a swimming pool and a waterslide, but it could be a little bit better if the group of people would not come so often to play table tennis so much.

Employees are friendly a d helpful. In the am lots of seniors who, although working out are , simultaneously enjoying lots of social interaction and camping out on the equipment which is limited to begin with.

Nice place. Great place for kids and their families. All sorts of sports court. Indoor soccer field.

Wish I lived closer or they had a better rec center near me. This place is well worth the fee. Addition of pool will be great.

Nice place to have birthday parties for young children. Play ground, restrooms and 2 large pavilions. Clean, with plenty of parking.

October 25, 2017 04:05

Great facilities, friendly staff. This place can get a bit crowded during busy times, but it's pretty inexpensive to get a yearly membership, which gives access to all the Plano Rec centers and pools, so definitely worth it if you use it. And I usually go when it's not too crowded.

Clean, efficient, and a great place to exercise. The classes organized through the rec center has generally proven to be value for money for example the mixed martial arts class conducted by Sifu Bales.

The City of Plano has some of the best Recreation Centers around. Carpenter Park is but one of them. They not only have the exercise room, basket ball courts, racket ball courts, badminton, waffle ball, running track, ping pong, pool table, locker rooms with showers, they also very nice staff that can check you in quickly or take the time to assure you get what you need.

The center also has a variety of classes you can sign up to take including exercise classes like Zumba, Jazzercise, and Line Dance but also things like violin lessons for kid.

If you haven't been there, check them out. It is both economical and provides a variety of healthy activities. Also membership allows access to other centers in Plano some of which have other activities such as swimming.

It's a cool place. The employees are very friendly and helpful and you can find pretty much any activity. They also constantly add new stuff to do!
