The place is nice and clean, the staff was friendly. The bathrooms are clean but the only bad thing is that in the showers the water comes out either very cold or very hot. The pools are beautiful and large. Swimming lessons are good for the price

What a great leisure centre. The prices were very reasonable and the staff were friendly and attentive. Myself and the kids spent 6 hours at the pool which has two slides, inflatables, a pool swing, water sprayers and a mini lazy river. The changing rooms and lockers were clean and plentiful. Highly recommended if you have young children and live in the area.

We stepped out of an eatery and we decided to walk along the lake - which was looking all vibrant in a clear sky - there have been thunderstorms for few days. We were glad to soak up sun while walking along the lake. Every angle - the lake, trees and clear sky gave us good opportunities to click. There were few families and they were enjoying walking their dogs, fishing or just sitting next to the water. We took a leisure walk for a full circle and sat there on the benches and just relaxed. There is considerable parking around here and a shopping complex right next to it. Beautiful Sunday walk 😍

I had a very disappointing experience at the Green Valley Ranch location on February 4, 2026 at approximately 8:45 AM. The older woman working at the front (on the right side) was extremely disrespectful, unprofessional, and impolite. Her attitude toward me felt racist and biased, and the way she spoke to me was unacceptable for any customer service environment. Instead of being helpful or respectful, she was rude, dismissive, and made the situation uncomfortable. No customer should ever be treated that way. I want to be clear that the younger employee was kind and professional, and she did not contribute to the problem at all. The issue was specifically with the older staff member on the right at that time. I don’t know her name, but I hope management reviews who was working that morning because this type of behavior should not be tolerated. Someone who treats customers like this should not be working the front desk.
