Great Staff. Very helpful

★★★Lester L

Overall, Bascom community Center is a very nice facility. The gym and the main community room are okay. However, the fitness center is far from what I would expect. There are several machines that are out of order and some other that are not working and they don't have a sign where it says that they are not working. The place is small but I can deal with that. But I mean you have a small space and on top of that several machines are not working so that's a letdown for me.

Great place with library, basketball courts, and cafe. Someone can spend the whole day there with reading, working, working out. I spotted a rainbow right next to it once day!

Great center nice gym awesome library. Perfect for the community nicely located but the parking lot is on the small side. Really like the sculpture on the s side of the building. Audio recording of the hawk eating the pigeon is a bit off putting.
