Rec center in general is awesome always some type of sports going on for the kids the pool is an added bonus could be cleaner but hey what can you do and the lady that runs the pool don’t play no “GAMES” 💦😀

★★★★Veronica Preiss

I'm disappointed that the sprinklers are turned off so early now, especially because all the kids there were all sad since its still sunny and hot at like 6pm. My kids loved that there was the button to push before if you wanted it on before, even when it was later, but now they turned that off as well even during the day. Also, the new playground setup is pretty cool, but the larger one is not only challenging for some it's dangerous since there is no rail/siding or anything on top and has a pretty decent fall height. Considering its need for you to be at the very top in order to use the slide, I'd say there should be something there as precaution. But my kids love it. As a mom, it makes me a bit nervous watching them play when it's a bit crowded, but only because of that.

Such a fun place! Sprinkler, pool ,2 play areas, baby & older child swings. Plenty of parking on street & a parking lot right next to it. The recreation center is open , but for certain hours, so check before you come because that's where the bathrooms are!
