Seatack Recreation Center

Recently joined the rec centers because my future in-laws love to come here and play pickle ball and have been asking us to come for months. We finally did, and LOVED it. This center is one of the smaller out of all the offerings and doesn't have as many programs, gyms, a running track and as much work-out equipment but it's still very nice and offers plenty of options for folks nearby (it's the closest to my in-laws house). We've come a few times for pickle ball and have always had fun and everyone is very welcoming. I've been missing out! It's the best deal around for a gym membership ($110 a year and you can go to any of the 6 or so locations in VAB).

A nice, comfortable rec center. Low key. Not usually busy. You can usually find an open swim lane. Pickle Ball!

A city without an offering of recreational centers is not a city I would want to call home. Thats just how spoiled my family has got by the City of Virginia Beach Recreational Centers. The reasonable cost when compared to a traditional gym is substantial. It has increased over the decade of use, but I'm still fan.This recreation center is not the oldest built in 1997, but it is the smallest making it my least favorite in the system. It has what the others have for the most part, but a smaller scale. It cannot offer the programing of the larger ones, but still has plenty going on. Review the quarterly books that are printed and online.The location is straight forward with signage by the road, but you can pass it up easily. The parking lot was recently sealed and looks great! No debris in the lot, or walks on my most recent. The check-in is immediately inside the door. There is no lobby area like the others. I don't care for that, but there is nothing wrong with it either. I feel a little claustrophobic. The interior area inside the door was clean and I saw a staff person sweeping in the area and emptying trash.So what do they have...a full court gym with rock wall, cardio and weights, an activity room and a six lane pool with 5 meter spring board. A men's and women's locker room is available. Vending machines are in the main corridor.I'm passionate about swimming, so a plug for the systems learn to swims and private lessons. Check out the quarterly listing of learn to swims starting at 4 yrs old. Private lessons are also offered. My children came through the learn to swim program and are both accomplished swimmers. One is a year a round swimmer that got his start at Princesses Anne Recreation Center. Not much more to say about SeaTack. It's a nice choice for beach residents. A 3.5, rounding down due to its limitations. Recommend!

Staff were very friendly and helpful !! Came here to play some pickleball. Facility was very clean. $10/pp for a day pass, good for other RECenters in the area.

This is a very small rec center compared to the other beastly centers I have been to-but it's so close to me I had to try it out for a simple cardio long bike.The first time I went here I settled on the recumbent bike in he weight room and was halfway through a 15 mile bike when a guy came up-super cocky and irritable to kick me off.Unbeknownst to me I guess you have to sign up for the machines at the front counter. Ok cool. I left and finished my workout elsewhere.I came back another day to bust out a 28 miler-so I made sure I had a bike for an hour and a half. I signed up and they put me on one of the hidden bikes in the gym. Ok cool. I got dis.I busted out the workout and 5 minutes left literally there was a torrential downpour of children losing their mind running circles in the gym. I was not only startled but slightly frightened to get up and leave. Lol!All in all though I will continue going back for a basic cardio workout. Do not go to this gym and expect to get your SWOLE PATROL on- there are literally 3 strength machines. Go elsewhere to get that lift in brah.

Really small.....have to sign up for time on cardio equipment.....never an open gym,ALWAYS pickleball going on ......won't be going back.....it's so close to my house,but will be going to Great Neck or Nimmo Parkway from now on...no complaints there

Seatack has a BIG problem with the LEAKING ROOF, which has been a huge detriment on rainy days! WHY is the city unwilling to care for the wonderful people at Seatack who want to play pickleball? I've seen the problem for the 6 months I've played there; some say it's plagued the gym for years! WHY is Seatack being ignored and the roof permanently fixed. Come on VB, do better!

Dear Supervisor:The new Summer Gym schedule effective July 2, 2024 at Seatack Rec Ctr does not provide any Gym hours for Pickleball on Tuesdays and Thursdays except for the evening hours. Being senior citizens, we do not drive in the evenings. Therefore we request that you provide morning to noon Gym hours for pickleball on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Summer.Thank you.A group of senior citizen pickleball players

We love this rec center! I like that it's smaller and less crowded . Each and every staff member has been remarkably kind and accommodating. Harry at the front desk is always welcoming and has gone above and beyond in helping us out when needed. If you're looking for a more intimate work out setting with a real community feel-Seatack Recreation Center is the place!

i was very displease with the staff and faculty, i really hope this makes it to HR. the front desk lady was behind rude to me apon my arrival and had a very rude attitude while all i said was "how are you" and she proceeded to act like i wasnt even there while me and my friend we're trying to just sign in and use the basketball court. it seemed she had let her emotions get the best of her, im not sure what she endured during the her shift at a rec center i can't imagine there's much to be upset about while working a front desk, it seemed like she put her anger from a previous person on me and my friend as we asked to play basketball she angerly told me i wasn't allowed in the basketball court. as a nearby resident of the area i highly suggest y'all would get a new member of staff to be at the front desk. is not great for business and i will not be coming back. i have sent an email also, i would gladly come back if y'all could inform me that the clerk from this evening isn't there, description would be morbidly obese, sad looking, rude african american woman in her mid30's-40's
