Chandler's Tumblweed Recreation Center

This is Chandler's newest facility. The Tumbleweed Recreation Center at Tumbleweed Park. It's located on McQueen at Germann Road.
It's a great facility with this huge courtyard in the middle open to our wonderful weather. Next to it is a two court basketball gym.

The gym can be separated with a curtain like this. So, open play can be on one side and a scheduled class or league can be on the other side.



This is me. Getting a good work out on opening day. I was the only one running on the indoor track. It's big. 1/10 of a mile around and it has views.


All the weights and cardio and the indoor track are upstairs. As you run, you get to go by the machines. Plus, you get to look out the windows at the courtyard, the street and park. You also get to run above the basketball courts.

There are two racquetball courts. Lots of cardio machines, lifestyle resistance machines and free weights.

Got kids? They have a place for them to play too. I didn't take pictures of the teem hayloft, a lounge for teenagers with active arcade games, air hockey, foosball and an open stage.
Here's the best part. Today, was the soft opening. The grand opening isn't until sometime in April and until then everything is free. Once, it is officially open you will be able to pay by the day, month or year.

Very cool! Thanks for the pics! Looks like it will be a great spot to go when it's 110 outside!

This place looks fabulous! Wow, look at all those elliptical machines, treadmills, and recumbent bikes! I love the indoor track, too. We could use one of those here in the north.

Thanks for sharing the pictures! I went by a few days ago and was wondering what it looked like inside. They did a good job!
