East Library and Recreation Center - Arlington, Texas

Nice place, many in one. Awesome library, swimming pool and event hall. However, I think they might need consider enlarging the locker room and creating a family locker room where parents could change and help kids to change. It’s not ideal to have kids in men locker room while others are changing or adult would wait until parents with kids finish.

Amazing rec center with a library inside. They have a full court basketball gym, a swimming pool and other activities rooms. You can rent some party space as well. Swimming pool follows a schedule that can be grabbed from the front desk. Library is always clean and quiet.

I love this multiuse library. We've had events here, attended cheer camp as well as used the library. All great experiences. All neighborhoods should have a resource center like this. Staff is also super helpful.

This place was perfect for our event! The staff are super helpful and friendly. The rental process was easy and affordable!
The building and the grounds are very nice.
We will definitely consider having another event here!!!

Took Treasure and Nuriah to the East Libray and Rec center for some quiet time away from the house. They were so surprised to see a gym, basketball court, indoor pool, and most of all, all the books in the library. And the rocking chairs were the best. So theraputic. We put a tablet in the charging box 8 as soon as we came in, connected it, and locked the unit, but it didn't charge at all. I think the android charging cable in that box is bad. It seemed that there were some kid events or camps going on, but we thought we might be able to do some crafts, but we couldn't get that figured out. So we just hang out in the library. Even looking out the windows from the kids' corner was awesome! Thank you.

Excelente lugar para el estudio, y entrenarte físicamente. Las secretarias todas las que me han atendido, en el área de la biblioteca, son un amor de personas. Muy lindo. Excelente servicio.

Great environment and very friendly staff. This feels like a good place to hang out with your family. They have a pool, gym, party room oh and of course a library.

This is a state-of-the-art facility that is a little more focused on recreation than the library aspect. The library and wifi are free to use; the recreation has three different levels of membership, and water fitness classes are an additional cost. Membership is not required to purchase or use water fitness classes.

There is a small outdoor coworking space, a good-sized exercise room which includes free weights, a childcare room (available in 2021), a lounge for seniors where breakfast and lunch served by Meals On Wheels), a full size basketball court that can potentially accommodate more than 600 people, a ballet/dance room for indoor exercise classes, an outdoor exercise area, and a large pool with lap lanes, "aqua climb" rock climbing wall, and a zip line into the pool!

There is a party room attached to the pool available for rent, and many of the other rooms throughout the facility are available for rentals of all sizes and needs. The largest meeting room is attached to the kitchen for easy catering. The locker rooms have showers and you just need your own padlock for the lockers. There is also a private, family-size restroom, with shower, between each locker room and the pool.

Memberships to the exercise facilities are available at different prices for different ages. Family memberships are for up to 5 family members and are $72 per month per family for Arlington residents.

The library portion of the building seems very small because the emphasis is more on technology which I guess makes sense these days. There is a good selection of Spanish and Vietnamese books. There are computers available and you can print for a small cost. The childrens area has a couple of activity tables that should be operational in 2021 (due to COVID).
