Great facility with many areas to work out in. Swimming pool, weight room, exercise equipment, two walking tracks, soccer field, tennis courts and so much more. Enjoyed working out this morning with my daughter.

Really great place to go seeing that theres not much to do in Williston. Especially for the kids. Summer calendars are really packed with awesome activities for both young & not so young....like myself 😄

Pretty cool place with some pretty cool people. My favorite time to go is when all of the senior citizens are out for their walks. They just do their own thing and its not crowded.

Great place! My kids love the water park and it’s affordable for all day play for our family of six! Hope prices don’t rise anytime soon.... we don’t live close enough to make a membership worthwhile and love that we can come into town and have some fun at an affordable price! Highly recommend.

By far one of the best things Williston has to offer. The facility and the activities your able to do inside are endless. If you live in Williston and have a family, kids especially, then you need a membership here immediately.

As far as facility itself it is 5 stars. Super nice facility. Bad hours. Really should be open later until at least 11-12 and reopen at 5 or 6. I think they would sell a lot more memberships if there hours were better. If they don’t want people in certain areas then lock up the pool and board rooms. But the gym and walking track basketball courts should really be able to have more access. It’s sad that we have this amazing facility and it’s not more accessible for people to use at all hours. I find it hard to go there before 8-9 at night definitely not worth a membership if you have a job with long hours

Great place for kids, only thing is that they need more inner tubes for the lazy river and the water slide

Good place to go for several different activities. Big, spacious, & clean. Kids loved the indoor water park area. The family changing rooms were a little dirty, but from peoples shoes mixed with bad weather.

Review №28

Update - They actually took action and tried new hours for the next couple of months. 5 stars for finally making a change, or at least trying to be more accommodating for those with full schedules.Terrible Hours - If you have any sort of Job, you should go elsewhere. The Pitt, Anytime Fitness, or Elite Health and Fitness. Biggest Facility in the state = worst hours. All the reviews here say the same, wish the Park Board would take notice, continually driving their members elsewhere to workout.

It’s a really nice facility, I just wish the hours were extended, even until 10 or 11. It’s really hard to get out there before closing when I don’t get off til 8.

Review №39

My experience at the ARC has always been positive. The facilities are clean and have been appropriately staffed for my needs. There are an appropriate number of machines and space available for my needs. As a community member I have rented some of the rooms on multiple various occasions for community meetings and this has also been a positive experience. I feel the rates are competitive to other gym memberships in the community. The pool is clean and comfortable and very nice in comparison to other pools throughout the state that I have experienced being a parent of a couple of swimmers. It is nice to have the capability of hosting some local swim meets. I am thankful for this community investment.

The indoor water park is a great place to bring your whole family! They have a kiddie pool of moderate temperature with toys and little fountains for the babies and toddlers, normal pool for lap swimming, river float on tubes for older kids, an indoor wave machine off to the side for those who want to try to surf or body board, big water slide, etc.....something fun for everyone plus lifeguards watching. Perfect for the winter months as well when everyone has cabin fever.

Update--Owner contacted me himself which was truly appreciated!! He wanted to make sure that we understood that what occurred was something that would never happen again. He asked me to try again and so I did. I took my grand kids back and we all had the best time ever!!! Everything was perfect and everyone was kind and just a joy. We have been there several times since then & I truly thank the owner for having such kindness that he reached out to us. Ive been meaning to post this update because it truly is a wonderful place and I recommend it for everyone. This owner cares about his business and how it is run and he appreciates everyone that visits his establishment. I also recommend their party rooms for several different types of events. They are spacious, clean & affordable!!!

Review №45

This place is more than awesome! Tennis, baseball, track, workout equipment, huge water park, and child care, and more. All indoors. The only drawback we saw. . .we were visiting the area with three preschoolers and the playground area is nice, but small. The kids were ready to leave after a few minutes. The water park is fantastic and I wish we would have come prepared for that. Reasonable prices too.

Review №46

Facility runs very condensed hours. If you don’t have a full time job this is the perfect place for you. Facility closes at 9pm every night making it impossible for a real working individual to workout after work. Please consider extending hours. Facility is nice.

Review №54

Very nice facility. For the amount of people that would like to use it, you need to be open for longer hours. The summer hours are way too short in the evening and need to be extended for the demand of people needing to use machines. The weights and equipment are nice, but you need more of them (less cardio machines). A few more squat racks would alleviate multiple people waiting for the 2 that are there. Otherwise, locking certain areas after designated times and allowing 24 hour access would be huge!

Ja
Review №55

The arc is hands down the best rec center Ive ever been too. The fees are a little high but thats to be expected in a no where oil town. That being said the reason I took 2 stars is due to the lack of maintenance even with those high fees. I only use the weight, and cardio sections so this only goes for those. There are several peices of equipment that are literally held together with duct tape! Start maintaining the equipment and they will easily be a 5 star establishment.Update-- 1 week after the above post.Changing my review to 5 stars.After I left the above review WPR responded saying they appreciated the feedback and that they would be looking into the repairs.True to there word the ripped cushions have all been removed for repair!! They seem to be making a concerted effort to fix or replace the broken items.Thank you.As promised.. 5 stars

Review №61

Its a great facility. The swimming is good. With the exception of the one-hour break that they close the pool thats kind of difficult. The price that you pay to get in is ridiculously high compared to other rec centers in other places around the United States family passes are ridiculously expensive and not affordable really. The party rooms are inconvenient to get to especially if youre bringing things into set up and then out when youre done. Having to pay to sit and watch your kids swim is crazy but you have to I suppose I could be like other parents and just drop my kids off and expect them to watch them and then I wouldnt have to pay the fee

We visited here with our oldest son so he and his dad could place basketball when we all lived in Williston ND. Very fine fitness center.

Jo
Review №64

We were here for a swim meet. The pool was very large. The rest of the facility seems nice, but there was not enough staff to oversee some of the areas (keep in mind this place is huge); especially with how many kids were hanging out unsupervised. Overall, it was a positive experience though.

Review №69

Im used to Lifetime Fitness and paying a little less than what I did when I went to the ARC. With that being said this place is over priced for what it has to offer and has poor management. Paying a quarter for every time you want to lock your items up is a bit ridiculous too. Those who rated this place 5 stars I am guessing is local or this is the only facility like this they have been to.

Review №70

Its a really nice place, has a lot to offer. But I wish the hours were a bit better. Its summer, so why is it only open 11-5 on Fridays and Saturdays? and sundays its open 1-5? youd think being its summer they would have longer hours. The staff arent very friendly either... unprofessional and immature.

Al
Review №71

Fun place for the kids. Good for family time. The door from the changing area to the pool is so hard to open tho, I (a mom of 4) needed help to pull it. And some of the life gaurds not so friendly.

Review №72

I love it!! It has a good batting cage, the pool is amazing and the place is VERY clean. The only thing I dont like is that there is not workers that roam around and find trouble. I hear that fights go on there. But overall a 8 out of 10

Review №75

This place is great. Sure maybe the hours arent the best for adults but its an awesome rec center. The gym area is divided in two different areas which kinda stinks but the equipment is all too notch and in good repair. Good selection of freeweights, although the area is a bit condensed. Tennis is fun and the upper and lower tracks are great too.Music would be really appreciated as well as a little longer hours. Its a big facility to light and keep open but maybe only certain areas? Like the upper floor 6am-10pm?

Ive been going to the Arc since it opened and will say its had its ups and downs but overall the experience there has been great. I see comments about rude people but if your attitude is positive when you approach people you generally dont get that result. At least a fun place to go for the kids as they have alot of activities for them to enroll in.

Review №86

Its very nice, clean and a ton of things to do from working out, swimming, batting cages and more. I gave a three due to the hours its hard getting a work out and then trying to get to work. The hours of 5 am to 10 pm would help with those that work 6 am to 8 pm. Plus the pricing for those that dont use a full month paying weekly for those that travel and are home every other week.

Its a decent place, been to places better. Over priced. Took my boys to go swimming and I was going to sit out and watch them. They wanted me to pay $8 to breath the air in there and watch my kids. What a joke! Walked out. Also, the classes they offer, most definitely not worth a membership fee. Very disappointing! They need to rethink ALOT of things.

Review №95

Would give 5 stars if the ARC opened an hour or at least 30 minutes earlier. And I am sure more people would join if the opening hour was a little earlier. The majority of residents here in Williston, North Dakota are workers who start work early and end work late. Opening at 5 or even 5:30 am would be very much appreciated and would also help business.
