Dundee Township Park District - Randall Oaks Recreation Center

Negative experience: One of the worst Rec Centers I’ve ever been too. No wonder the only people that go to play basketball here are little kids. They literally seen me with my speaker when I was registering to hoop which cost $10 and no one had said anything to me about it. One of the managers came over to me to tell me when I was registering about no dunking, hanging on the hoop/nets which I wasn’t planning on to at all. I told them I wasn’t going to too… I’ll respect their gym. However I hoop for about 15-30 mins playing my music on my speaker just for the manager to walk on the track above the court to tell me “no boombox”. I guarantee if I was playing country music instead of rap it would’ve been no issue. Never coming back to this gym again with their prejudice management.

Fantastic experience: The fitness center is clean and the staff are friendly. I am able to use the machines I need without it feeling over crowded. I really like the indoor walking/running track too.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I recently join the Randall Oaks fitness center and could not be happier. The vibe fits our lifestyle, it has all the equipment our bodies need and we are willing to use, it's open when we want to go and the employees are very friendly, especially Dana on the weekend.

Fantastic experience: The fitness center at Randall Oaks has been my workout spot for several years. They have ample space and equipment, their hours fit my schedule, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Randall Oaks Recreation Center is truly an outstanding facility! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm and friendly staff, especially the ladies at the front desk who are always so welcoming and cheerful. It really sets the tone for the whole experience. The workout equipment is top-notch—clean, modern, and well-maintained, providing everything you need for a great workout. Whether you're lifting weights or doing cardio, there's something for everyone. What really stands out is the sense of community here. It feels like a family, where everyone supports and cares for one another. The staff and members alike are always ready with a smile or a word of encouragement. Randall Oaks isn’t just a gym; it’s a place where you feel like you belong. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Just left the Randall Oaks Recreation Center very disappointed today. I've been going to the Randall Oaks Recreation Center for the last 2.5 years and have had nothing but pleasant experiences, but today was a different story. I was in today to play some basketball, and everything was going fine. Then it looks as if they were setting up for some volleyball games, but we were not told to get off the court yet, so we continued playing. Then, an older staff member who was setting up the volleyball net says, "Thank you guys," and that's it. We continued playing thinking he was just saying that as a way to let us know that it's almost time to finish up, so we try to hurry our game up. Then he says, "You guys are done. Do you not know what thank you means? Thank you means get off the court" in an extremely rude tone as if we were stupid. He probably thought we were all hard headed kids because I was playing will some younger people, but as someone almost 30 years old, I found the way in which he spoke to be extremely rude, especially to paying customers. I would never speak to another adult like that, and I wouldn't speak to any children or teenagers like that either. It was disrespectful. If he wanted us off the court at that exact moment, the right thing to say would've been, "Hey guys, the courts are reserved for volleyball now. Can you please clear the courts?" Not "thank you guys, " which could mean anything, I guess. I definitely wouldn't translate "thank you" as "get off the courts." I wish I would have got his name because I hope someone speaks to him about the way he talks to people. He's an older gentleman, balding in the middle with some gray hair, maybe around 5'8" tall. This was on Monday, April 1st, 2024, around approximately 6:45pm. Either way, this experience left an extremely sour taste in my mouth, when otherwise I've had nothing but good experiences. It's the bad experiences that you will remember most, though.

Negative experience: This facility doesn't deliver on their words "...dedicated to enhancing the quality of life through exceptional parks, facilities, and community-driven programming.". They allow bullies to stay on the Women's Volleyball league and A-level competitive players to play against less-experienced players (B/BB, C, D-levels) in 1 co-rec league. It causes alot of court/game problems regarding positions and cohesiveness to play together safely. I was on the Winter/January 2024 VB league and experienced negative incidents from female players. As a long-standing BB/B level VB player, I bring my positive attitude in playing with teams and mates but many players don't share the same standards. I was born legally 65% deaf and my disability often confuses people since I can't engage in normal conversation, often mistakenly read as being anti-social. Everyone in leagues I play on are alerted about my hearing disability. 1/29/2024: teammate Donna (same team Spike-N-Spice, captain Brandy Valentine) cowardly pushed/jabbed my back from behind during a game. I was caught off-guard considering she and I have never had problems, but I sensed anomisity from her the beginning. No avail as to why. Recollecting myself, I ignored her cowardly aggresssiveness and continued playing with proper sportmanship. She never explained to me why she pushed me nor did I ask her and I couldn't trust her anymore. Captain Brandy chose to not act upon this assault, and I took myself off the team. I emailed Dundee Township managment providing full incident details. Tammy Greco, Superintendent of Rec, contacted me back only saying general words of "Thank you for sharing your feelings, it's been addressed." There were no resolutions given to me as to the outcome of Donna's bad behavior. This incident wasn't based on "feelings", it was based on a physical assault per videotapes. Since the township choose to not act, I don't feel safe to continue coming here, assured that behavior like this won't be allowed.

Fantastic experience: Clean facility. Friendly staff. Love everything about this place.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym experience and great people who work there they are so nice

Fantastic experience: The fitness center at Randall Oaks is great - plenty of room and a great selection of equipment, for both cardio and weight training The recently added cardio machines allow for individual video viewing, which is a nice feature. The locker room is somewhat limited, but that really is not an issue most of the time.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout when you just want to get to business. The facility is always so clean and easy to get to. The BEST part is the staff. Everyone is so genuine and kind. I’ve been a member for nearly 4yrs and plan to renew again. For you parents worried about the childcare. My now 5yr old son as been going to the Kidzone since he was 16 months old and majority of the staff has been the same. These women are truly caring. I can only speak of the AM staff on the weekdays for both the Kidzone and Fitness Center. One criticism: Need more machines. There has been a clear increase in attendance over the years making it a challenge to sometimes get to all the machines needed for my workout. I also understand space is at a premium there.

Fantastic experience: Very clean with a great, friendly staff too. They have an indoor track as well as outdoor paths for walking and running. Inside they have a huge workout area with plenty of different machines, and it's never too busy which I think is a huge plus. Only downside is, theres isn't a pool. Otherwise, great place to go for a workout!

Fantastic experience: The workout facility has equipment for lifters and treadmills and cyclists which face out towards randall road with floor to ceiling windows to let natural lighting in with several flat screen tvs with games on ESPN. The gym on the bottom floor is fantastic offering 2 full size basketball courts with a divider curtain to separate the two. Guests using the track on the main level can see what's happening on the courts while they are walking or runnning which i think is a brilliant setup.

Positive experience: As much as I do love this gym, It's a little frustrating that they're open for such short hours in the weekends. Not everyone can make it to the gym by 5:00 pm on a Saturday or on a Sunday. If it weren't for the hours, I would give them a 5/5. The staff members are extremely nice, and I've never had a bad experience.
