Beautiful facility! Visited today for my son's basketball tournament and was very impressed! 🏀✨

★★★★★Sarah (Girl About Town)

The Colin Powell Center is such a beautiful facility -- with huge floor to ceiling windows and fun artwork inside. Plus it hosts a High School and a non-profit called Urban Ventures! They've even got a 4-court gymnasium inside the facility!

★★★★★Susan Long

I attended the annual Women's Art Fair at the Colin Powell Center yesterday, and as usual the building is clean and pleasant. I do have to say I was disappointed that automatic door openers did not work.

★★★Mary Glenn

The center is very nice. We were there for gymnastics meet. The way the seating was set up it was very had to see the girls compete. We couldn't see the vault at all and it was hard to see the beam. I think the seating would have been better down the middle beween the teams since competition was on both sides.

★★★★★Heidi Blatz

Went to a gymnastics meet here. Very easy to get in and out of. Very clean and spacious. They offered food and beverages with a little cafeteria to eat at as well.
