Asser Levy Recreation Center

“Great indoor pool and gym with a $150 bi-annual membership. Great staff and facilities.”

“Nice Rec center, have gym, ibdoor pool, table tennis and more.”

“I love this place. Rec centers gives New Yorkers a cheaper option for a gym and pool and other facilities. But today at Asbury Levy rec Center, a Parks dep employee was in the gym standing around and harassing people for having small objects while working out, like towels, sweatshirts, keys etc. He was saying that those items should go to lockers. I understand the rule that says we shouldn't have jackets and bags in there as they are bulky and no one needs them during a workout, but a towel, or a sweatshirt to warm up and cool off or wipe equipment down, or a key chain that you most likely have your locker key on? Not surprisingly only person seemed to be bothered by these objects was that parks employee. I guess he had to make himself useful somehow. I have a suggestion. instead of standing around in the gym and harassing people, if that employee could clean the lockers, and the equipment, which i assume hasn't been cleaned since the facilities were renovated in the 90s, we would all benefit from it and use them with confidence, instead of with a scare of getting some sort of infection. Also an employee standing around trying to make himself busy by annoying the people that pay to be there looks very bad for a department that complains about budget issues.”
