What parents say

The facility is average. The summer camps are great, but getting into desirable camps is tough. Swim lessons and pool use have been convenient in the past. The skate facilities are world class. I have not had a good customer service.experience via phone with this Y ever. I’ve actually called other locations to get answers about general info and had pleasant experiences. So three stars overall.

My kids went to the after school programs, and now that they're grown up, we all enjoy the gym sauna and pool. This is one of the great values in Encinitas; great price, nice facilities and friendly knowledgeable staff…

The councilor said they accept full responsibility. Several weeks later I…
