Powered by GoogleMy wife and daughters visited to inquire about swimming access and information. Unfortunately, they were not treated very warmly and were told they would need to complete several requirements before being able to use the swimming area. I’m not sure if this is standard procedure for everyone or if something else was at play, but the overall experience felt quite unwelcoming.
If I could give them 0 stars I would. They don’t do their jobs. I registered my child into the summer camp went to orientation and all for them to say she’s not in the system. It’s a hit or miss with them so if you have things plan for the summer dont depend on them fully because it’s a chance you will be disappointed.
I was shocked. I went here for a 5th grade promotion ceremony. Parking was terrible. And to make matters even worse it was so disheartening to step over hundreds of needles up the sidewalk to get to the community center. It pained me to imagine 5th graders and their families stepping over needles to get into the building. It was honestly sad.
Awesome community center Always clean and friendly. So.much goes on here. Party rooms and meeting facilities. Outside pool in summer and nice full court gym for hooping. I only use the fitness room. Up to date workout equipment and free. Closes at 730pm so got time to get it in after work.
The new facility is very nice and clean, I hope the City will sustain that ambiance through good maintenance. My main criticism is the wave bike racks.
