If you are visiting Roanoke for a short visit I would suggest checking out this new rec center in North Roanoke County. The best part is that you don't have to join, you can visit for a day and enjoy indoor/outdoor swimming with splash park/lazy river for kids, huge exercise room with indoor track, basketball courts and tons of activities for kids. It is closeby to the airport, Hotels and restaurants. It is open year round. Green Ridge Recreation Center (http://www.roanokecountyva.gov/Departments/ParksRecreationandTourism/GreenRidge/default.htm - broken link).

Yeah, I took a tour of the facilities about a week back. Pretty nice.

For some reason, it feels a lot smaller on the inside than it looks on the outside, but its not small by any means. A very nice facility.

My only fear is that it will be insanely busy. They claim to already have 2000 members joined and I dare say that as people come to see the facility, they may want to join, too.

We're thinking about joining. We had been RAC members for the past few years, and even with my wife's Carilion employee discount, it was almost $90 a month. Plus, the RAC is always crowded.

Green Ridge I'm sure will be crowded for a little while since they are brand new and everyone is trying to stick to their New Year's resolutions right now. I'm hoping it will calm down in a few months.
