City of Tampa Ballast Point Park, 5212 Interbay Blvd, Tampa, FL 33611, US

For Temple Terrace residents, the local recreation center is the center of most things fun. Easier to access than the nearest YMCA, cheaper than any gym membership, this all-in-one stop has activities for all age groups. Non-residents of the area are also welcome to use the facilities, however, a slightly more expensive membership rate is offered, or single entry fees are available. There are four pools. One is competition capable and used by a few swim teams, one is geared at toddlers, one is family-friendly, and the fourth is an open deep general access pool, complete with a fun slide. There is an onsite fitness center, and other classes such as, karate, baseball, tennis, gymnastics - to name a few- and are available at affordable prices.
