The South Davis Recreation Center is nearby. It is inexpensive and offers a full array of activities for all ages. Babysitting is available for small children. Basketball, swimming, yoga, pilates, ice skating, a full gym, indoor jogging path, and water slides with a children's play area are some of the amenities. Our favorite day to go with the kids is on Wednesday when they inflate a huge obstacle course that stretches across the pool.
