Dickinson Parks & Recreation

We reserved a camping spot a month in advance. We traveled over 12 hours to get there and someone else was in our camping spot that refused to leave. I called multiple times when we arrived and left messages. I have yet to hear back and its been over 2 weeks. I finally emailed them and they said they'll "look into it". We had to find other accommodations after I planned a huge road trip across the country. Totally unacceptable.

We spent many a day at the wonderful rec center on our recent 3 week visit to Dickinson, and it started to feel like home! The staff were beyond helpful, especially the absolutely wonderful Sarah, who went out of her way to comfort and distract my toddler when he banged his knee and made sure we were so well looked after. Honestly, we felt so welcome and well looked after we didn't want to leave! Our older boys had the most fun, and we felt safe to let them have some freedom due to the many vigilant lifeguards both inside and outside! And the climbing wall was fantastic for even our 3 year old and that felt very safe. Overall our favourite place! Sarah (I think that's your name!) if you ever want to visit us in Spain, let me know!

We booked a month prior to our stay here at the RV site by Patterson Lake. We arrived on a Sunday with nothing left at the office as it was closed. We are experienced RV-ers, so we simply pulled into our site. Sites are “back in” and lovely with large privacy bushes in between. Each grant a “back yard” area. There is a loud train that rolls through 3-4 times in 24 hrs, but that didn’t bother us ( just behind the sites) The lake is beautiful, playground clean and nice bath house. Would stay again- here 3 nights. Only $15/night if over 60 and one time $15 park fee. $30 otherwise.

To many swim team boys taking 1/2 hr showers , then there is no hot water! Lot's of careless wastefulness of my tax dollars! The steam room door frame hasn't been cleaned in years! One other thing mentioned it to wilson last year about the build up of rust scale on the large square beams that hold the building up, in the pool area over next to the windows. Just painting over it won't slow down the rust! Eventually it could lead to a big problem down the road. Sorry for the rant just some of the things I see when I go there.

I like the endless activity choices and how clean the place is. I have only gone a couple of times and have had no problems other then the daycare. Not going to lie. I’m not a fan. I think the customer service is poor. They haven’t welcomed my son in like it’s a fun place to be and when I pick him up I get no words from the staff. I get stared at awkwardly. I have to ask to get his belongings back every time (which is fine. I’ve just been to other daycares that are far more on top of that.) and there was a time where I still didn’t get all of our stuff back (my fault. I should have realized.) There was one time in particular where the staff was going on and on to a customer in front of me about how cute their daughter was and it made me smile and feel like it’s a friendly and involved place until I picked up my son and got my usual treatment of feeling uncomfortable picking him up and wondering if they even knew he was there. I’m by no means a helicopter mom or one to complain, but I will voice my concern about his needs and care and I can’t honestly say what does or doesn’t happen while I’m gone. I can just base or judge my opinion off of what I see and feel on drop off and pick up. I don’t feel welcomed and I don’t feel like my son is welcomed. Other then that I feel it’s been a great place to get some activity in.
