Fantastic Gym and swimming facilities. Very affordable, especially for students. 5$ for a one day pass, and 60$ for 3 mounts! In going back tomorrow to pay for my 3 month membership!!Great place to work out and swim!!

Itd be nice if the layout were a little more easy to navigate while swimming. Dont get me wrong, its an awesome facility. But with the zip line and diving board/slides, kiddie pool and lazy river on all four sides, theres not much actual swimming room in the middle part. I do love it though! Big, beautiful community center! Very clean and well kept. Friendly staff as well!

I am here in Arkansas visiting family and was excited to try out the brand new Community Center to work out and swim. I am beyond pleased with the fitness center. I took my kids and nephews to the Aquatic Center a couple of times and we all had a blast on the slides, Zipline, and lazy river. Surprisingly it wasnt too crowded in this 100 degree weather! A very relaxing place to enjoy now in Batesville.

I can’t believe we have this in Batesville, AR now! The aquatics portion of the complex is so much fun. If you have toddlers, they have the perfect place for them to enjoy the water safely. Then they have a little deeper area for older elementary kids to play it. The water slides and lazy river are awesome too. Can’t wait for summer!

Right now it is fantastic because it is being so under utilized. Most days by 7:30/8: am the competition pool only has 1 or 2 of the 10 lanes being used. Its great.

It is a fabulous facility. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We live in Searcy and drive to Batesville because I can get a great workout and end it with a swim then time in the therapy pool. My wife and I are very happy to be members of the Batesville Community Center.

Jeff Owens is literally the most annoying person on the campus the age for the weight room should be moved down from 16 to 13. They claim that 16 and under are irresponsible. We have basically been narrowed down to the indoor swimming pool because they are too busy watching to see if we make a mistake. I feel like me and the group I work out with are targeted only by Jeff Owens.

Yesterday, I took my 2 girls and my grandson to the water park. We have been once before and had a good time but yesterday was exceptional!!! In all the craziness of the world, many places you are met with frowns and scowls. (Understandable). However, we were greeted with respect and courtesy. My kids ages are 11, 8, 7. Working with the public and kids can be challenging but I felt that the staff here wanted to be in their job.Since we had only been once before, my kids did not know all the rules. The lifeguards were very pleasant when having to instruct them. We adults even had to be educated and they did it in a respectful manner. They did not shy away from doing their job but did it in a manner that could be appreciated.The 7 year old had difficulty reaching the zip line so the lifeguards encouraged and patiently helped as much as they could in order for him to be able to grab the handles himself. One lifeguard in particular, who was dubbed their favorite, tried to teach them how to properly dive off the diving board. She encouraged them to do tricks and treated them as if she really enjoyed their presence. Kinley Long made their experience yesterday very comfortable and even educational. Thank you, Kinley, the other lifeguards and staff for making us feel welcome especially in a difficult time. We don’t live close but will be back.

I hate to rate so low cause this facility has a lot to offer, in a non covid world. I recently became homeless and went there to get a membership and specifically asked what was open and what was not due to covid, the young lady said all facilities where open. So I got a 3 month membership to use and shower facilities and internet i walked in and then noticed all that area was roped off, was a little teed but I needed the internet to search comfortably in their lounge area. Now a month or so into the membership they told me no active lounging and had to leave or exercise! I did use the walking track twice a day and in between searched the net for properties. Oh well.

Indescribably, the best addition to Batesville in 20 years. Get a membership! I couldnt swim more than 100 yards when I started. Am now doing 1000 Yards a day. I have absolutely nothing bad to say. Join!

I took my daughter and 2 of her friends to have fun in the waterpark and they had a blast! The food at the concession was good and a good price. The only bad part of the day was my daughters friend having her towel and sandals stolen off our table. All in all a great place to take the family for fun in the sun.

Review №34

The water park area is what we primarily use here. We love the water park and would definitely recommend you try it out. The reason for the three starts is they need to drastically change up their snack bar. Though they have good snack offerings hot foods can be served cold or they run out often.

Very pretty place. Has 3 basketball courts. A huge swim Area inside and out and a beautiful lake right beside the gym. Im not real sure what else they offer but everything we have seen has been really nice and very friendly people.

Review №36

Great place to take the kids swimming for only $5 a person. Would get 5 stars if the 12 foot deep diving board area wasnt right next to kids area. I have a 2 year old and he kept gravitating to the diving board. Some sort of barrier would have been very useful. All in all though, the kids area was very nice. Splash pad, water slides, and the pool was the perfect temperature. For the big kids and adults they have water slides, lazy river, and plenty of swimming area.

My family and I love the outdoor water park! Nice clean friendly place to go during summer!

Review №38

We are members and enjoy the facility for the most part. The issues I have though are...1- the courts are shut down completely for events. Why cant there be an arena built in batesville for this? Its not often I get to bring our son to play some basketball , and usually when I do there is some kind of event they are setting up for.2- the outside lazy river isnt very well manned when it comes to kids running across the area where you can sit in the water . Ive had kids jump on top of me or my son and if tries to swim in that area HE gets told something.3- why do I have to pay 100 bucks to bring in a birthday cake when I am not.worried about other people being in the same area we are when celebrating our kids birthday? Why do i have to pay almost 2 dollars for a soda and not be able to bring in our own drinks/food.

I really enjoy this facility. Its got everything a person could want..... walking/ running track, awesome fitness room with the latest exercise machines and equipment, and a 10 lane swimming pool for laps. Once you get in the communication list, they are awesome! Thanks for finally adding me!

Like a miniature water park. Great place to take a family. Lot of life guards on duty and they keep things under control. Affordable at $5 a day

Besides being crazy hot, my daughter absolutely loved her 4th birthday party! The (several) lifeguards are always rotating to keep their eyes fresh and watching vigilantly.

Review №44

Great visit. Plenty of lifeguards so you feel that your bigger kids are safe and a nice shallow area for the smaller ones. I had a great time with my kids. Well, up until the little old lady with the giant chest decided that only wearing a white shirt with nothing under it was ok to get wet in. My 9 y/o son got an eye full and I get to answer a ton of questions.

They offer a lot of recreational activities and classes. Zumba, yoga, pound class, gym, basketball courts, tennis, and aquatics. They have indoor and outdoor pools. One therapy pool, which is awesome for those with mobility issues. Friendly staff. I highly recommend the Zumba and Pound class for Ladies. The instructor, Monica, has a ton of energy. She makes the classes very fun! I look forward to them every week! Great time to socialize with other women!

It also has basketball courts, yoga studio, and gym. The outdoor water park has two water slides, a zip line, lazy river, diving board, and more!

The community center is great! I only had problems in navigating the campus. The areas within the community center are not clearly indicated, and there arent any direction signs in sight. Otherwise, it is a great, multi-functional community center that provides plenty of fun activities for people of all ages.

Great place to take the kids and gym is great. Only downside is that the outside pool gets a little over crowded and theres no deep area for bigger kids or adults to swim. Inside Olympic pool is great to swim for adults and do laps if there aint any kids cutting Lanes

Fun but very very strict. Also dont like that kids cant go down the slide with a lifejacket on. There isnt a life guard at the bottom of the slides and they wont let u go towards it to help ur kid swim back aft they go down the slide

Review №78

Establishment is entirely mis-managed. No structure to any of the fitness areas. Common courtesy and etiquette is obviously not common knowledge to this fitness center. Staff an management show up to collect a check but not to work. It’s a shame that tax money goes to pay for this place and this is the quality a person receives in return.

Review №82

Beautiful swimming complex, but still a little glitchy getting in. At times the line to enter is 30 minutes long, and the pools can be uncomfortably crowded. Im hoping that the pool hours will increase soon, and maybe open early for members or have an entry line for members who can scan and go, and not have to wait for those who are paying the day rate. Looking forward to getting into the rest of the facility after the Grand Opening Thursday!

Absolutely love the place. However, if you are disabled and going to the therapy pool, be prepared to have to walk way too far. It does no good to have handicap stalls and have to walk that far. It needs to be looked at!

BCCA is an awesome place to take the kids during the summer with two water slides a lazy pool a kiddy area a therapy pool and a full size Olympic pool. They also have a variety of activities including basketball racquetball fitness studio and a full workout gym packed with machines and weights. There are various events throughout the year for the members as well as for the entire comunnity.
