★★★★★Da Empress

Awesome front desk staff! Beautiful personalities and extremely kind. Thank you for being so understanding towards ny son and informing me he has manners we try as parents it feels good to know he continued to be respectful as an adult. God bless you all for making him feel safe during his struggles.

A mess. Its taken 2 years to get the community garden decluttered. And the jogging track is made of asphalt and concrete. It is rarely clean, and the landscape is rarely presentable. There is a pool, but no real Track. with all the gentrification occuring in the city, it is sad that our community center is in such disarray. If this were a predominantly Caucasian neighborhood, there is no doubt a legit track and recreational area would be here. I don't think our elected community leaders even care. Hell, they don't have to live here! Especially Since its not reelection time for them.......Just Sad.

Great park for a walk/run, built in exercise machine, basketball court, tennis court and playpark. W/water fountains. Oh forgot about the pool open during summer. Didn't even know all this was in my hood. Lol. NO COST. NO EXCUSES. Wished the walk path was a little wider.
