So you’ve got this rec center in the middle of the hood. It offers all kinds of things for people in the neighborhood. Playground, basketball, volleyball, yoga, exercise equipment, etc. are all offered and more. But it is the lap pool and swimming I’m writing about that is so awesome. A lightly chlorinated pool. That’s right. They have a different filtration method here using sphagnum moss which significantly reduces the amount of chlorine in the water. There is nothing better then getting out of a pool and NOT smelling like a chlorine tablet. Less burning of the eyes and itching of the skin. A win all around. Plus they open @ 6:30am some days for you early morning risers and open it up from 5:30−7pm on other days(see website for schedule). Plus if you got the toddlers and young kids, there is the water park, 2 water slides, and a shallow pool to get them acclimated. Me likey.

The Oxford Pool of my youth has been upgraded to a basic water park. There’s a zero gradient pool for the little kids, some water slides, and a larger pool for just swimming around. Nothing fancy, but awfully nice on a cold winter’s day. The staff are friendly and the pool area is clean and in good order. Basic concessions are offered at fair prices. There are also gyms and rooms available for parties, meetings, etc. Admission is cheap, to boot. Worth a visit.
