"Great for swimming, great for birthdays!"
We used to live in Gresham and held my son's 1st birthday here. The birthday included room rental and they set up an indoor play park for him and his friends to play on. As that was 3 years ago I can't remember the exact cost for the party but we were on a budget and it was affordable to us. We have been here a few times for swimming and to play in the indoor play park. Its a great time for younger kids. (My son is 3) The pool is great and it's a great place to go for a swim in the middle of winter.

"Southwest Community Center Rocks!"
I love this activity center! The programs are varied and there is something oriented to every age level. The staff are professional, friendly and competent. We've enrolled my daughter in the swim classes since she was 16 months. Their aquatic area is top-notch and there's just a really nice feel to the place. It's perfect for mom's who want to find activities their kiddos are sure to love!

"Great Community Center"
We really like this community center. It was only built about 10 years ago and still feels up to date. They host a variety of programs and camps for kids of all ages. We have done a few of the classes and have really enjoyed them.
One of the things they do is host an indoor park. In Portland this is a really nice thing to have with the weather being pretty wet. They open up the gym for kids, bring out loads of toys (including riding toys, tumbling matts, little trampolines, etc) and the kids have free range for 2 hours.
They also have a great pool. There is a lap pool and a childrens pool with slides and things. The water features are turned on during the weekend for the kids. Always a lot of fun (it is chlorinated if that makes a difference to your family).
For parents that want to work out, they do have a day care on site, where you can drop your kids off, work out, and pick them up again. When we checked them out and talked to the staff, we felt really comfortable with them (we haven't used them yet though). There is a minimal fee for that service.
All in all, a great place to go even if you aren't a member. It is also adjacent to Gabriel Park and across the street from a strip mall. In that mall is a restaurant called Laughing Planet, which is incredibly kid-friendly and good food. After a play session or a work out, it is a great place to refuel!
