Aquatic Center and Military Hill Park - Pullman WA

The Pullman Aquatic and Fitness Center is located at the intersection of Larry and Hall streets, next to the high school in Pullman. It's a small center with two pools and a workout room. The facilities are the best I have seen and tough to compete with the Student Rec Center at WSU except the cost is far less. A year membership for a family is $480 and if you keep an eye out they have specials throughout the year which reduces that cost. We got ours during last September's anniversary sale for 50% off.
There are a lot of things I like about this center. Overall, it's a decent facility but it's crowded and the workout room is small (more than 10 people and you can barely get to any equipment). They have added to the workout room this past year but they haven't done anything about the over-crowding of the pools. The pools are filled with swim team practices and swim lessons while open to the public making it very crowded. The swim lessons are a fine money maker for the facility and many members take advantage of the reduced rates. This makes it less fun for those who have purchased their passes for fitness reasons. There are adult classes during the day but don't do anything for those who work "normal" hours.
The fitness center does have a fair amount of special events that are quite fun - like movie nights and Splash and Dash (a sort of swimming babysitting so parent's can have time to themselves).

Military Hill Park is a nice place to spend some time. There is a covered area with picnic tables and BBQ grills. The only problem is it's now located next to the machinery for the Aquatic center so you can't hear anything.

It doesn't take much space away from those machines to find peace of mind. There's a nice playground with newer equipment.

Up over a little hill, you'll find a basketball hoop and tennis courts. The tennis courts are nice and they seem to lack use so it's a great place to play and not worry about looking silly. We're going to go up there to practice our really bad backswing but who cares - no one is watching.

Up above the tennis courts is a soccer field. The park is huge with lots of little things tucked here and there and plenty of open spaces. From the water tower and back around the area is a walking trail. It's rundown because there are new trails in town but it's still a lovely view (if you don't mind the new construction where the wheat fields used to be). All in all this is still one of my favorite parks and one that I forget about (like most people). It still has so much potential for family fun and it's underused so it's getting neglected.
