Five Points Washington - Washington, Illinois

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

Clean space is everywhere. Good front-desk personnel. Well laid out, meaning easy to navigate in all areas. Five points is a pleasant place to workout.

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)

Been working out forever and probably won’t ever find a new gym. Laton at the front desk is always a pleasure to work with as well!

Interesting combination: library, pool, gym, and more. I enjoyed the discovery.
I went back there a few murr times. Guys better check their business hours. On Friday they close early.

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.

Went to a Candlelight Concert by Fever here, and had an absolutely lovely time. The building was very open and clean, and the front desk staff were very helpful and friendly.

Stopped to donate blood.
Unfortunately, my blood
pressure was too high and I was rejected. ❤️
I will have to try again in a few days.🤗
