This is the second dance recital I've attended at Five Points, and it really drives home how much community-need there is for a large, public, well-maintained, multi-use space. Both the staff and facility here are amazing! I personally experienced how an overwhelmed staff kept their cool through a weekend overfull with MLSD Dance Recital, birthday parties, open swim, and a baseball game across the street. Why is the last one relevant? Because the baseball fans were a bunch of rabid savages who took all the parking at Five Points to save themselves a bit of a walk. I witnessed little girls and mothers in tears, grandparents frantically looking for ANY place to park in an unfamiliar community, fathers ready to explode; yet, even in such a horrifically stressful and miserable situation, the Five Points staff not only policed the human menagerie, they also did so in a polite, respectful manner mindful of the persistent rise of COVID-19 infections. For example: my wife lost her phone the evening before during recital and the facility manager was kind enough to provide a guide backstage to where iOS claimed the phone to be. It turned out to be under a very kind person's seat, who called me after I updated the "lost" alert screen. Thankfully, I was easy to locate as I was standing onstage. Personally, I did not see a single staff member who was not wearing a mask; which is good, considering I'm personally aware of the onset of active COVID-19 infections among at least 3 persons who were in attendance on June, 4th 2022. It could be a coincidence, but better that there were masks worn than not. Overall, a fantastic facility with near-perfect execution. (The only flaw I can find is that there isn't a parking control device that will raise spikes into the tires of lazy baseball fans who can't be bothered to think through the downstream consequences of their actions; however, I'm confident this could be achieved with some volunteers from the Sheriff's department kind enough to lend their mobile spike strips)

Very functional facility with everything you need. People are nice and helpful and never seems to be crowded. Nice selection of treadmills, ellipticals, machines and free weights. Full pool and an indoor track. Visitor pass is pretty expensive at $11 a day unless you with a member which drops it to $5.

We really enjoyed the Christmas gospelfest. Great songs and great talent. Great range of singers from right here in Illinois.

Show wasn't quite as good as I had hoped. Certainly not worth $75. Nice theatre though. Kudos on the leg room. You don't have to stand up to let someone by. The snack line was too slow. You might consider getting one of those roll a way ice tub on wheels, fill it with soda and water, non alcoholic beverages. Then put it aside out in the hallway Have a small table with popcorn and candy. Cash only. If you want beer, go to the regular counter. This would speed up the line. Either that or have a second person at the counter ringing and serving. One customer at a time is too slow. A lot of people either had to skip a drink or miss the opening of the show. I look forward to coming back for another show.
