From the reviews

…On the upper section, Rec center has waslking track nicely maintained. If you walk 9 laps that counts to 1 mile. Entire Facility is air-conditioned and climate controlled so rain or shine, you can enjoy here. For residents of town of Garner you pay $30 for a years membership.

Extremely nice facility and friendly staff. The walking track is nice but I was told it closes at 8:00pm even though my son's rec league practice is from 8:15-9:15pm. I wish I had known that before paying $50 to walk while he is in practice but cannot.

★★★★★ — Russell, Dec 2022

Nice Gym, Nice running track, very nice customer service with friendly attentive front ladies.
