Recreation Center

Our neighbors at the Recreation Center are in for a busy weekend! Did you know that they host some of the state's largest meets because of the Olympic pool? Not only is the pool a great amenity for our Members and the community, the revenue these large meets bring to local Rochester businesses is so beneficial! With more people of course comes more cars, and you may notice that the parking lot is much fuller than usual this weekend. Here's what you need to know:

  • Pool access: BOTH pools and the gymnasium will be closed to 125 LIVE Thursday-Sunday.
  • Parking: The lower level parking lot will be reserved for 125 LIVE Members and guests only. A parking attendant is onsite to ensure proper parking is maintained. 
  • Lower Level Entrance: Normally, the Lower Level Entrance remains locked during the weekend, however doors will be open during normal Social center hours all weekend. 
  • Fun Stuff: Mama Meg's Parlour is serving up their famous ice cream sandwiches for $4. Stop by the Membership Services Desk to enjoy a favorite summer time treat!
