★★★★★Eric NiborgWe took beginner pickleball class here. Marga and Barry were our coaches. It could not have been more fun! The facility is beautiful. The staff is beautiful. Another wonderful experience in this wonderful city, Cary!
★★★Katrina HayesI’ve been to this community center previously for voting, and for that purpose, the space is functional and serves its intended use well. This past weekend was my first time attending an event here—the All Aboard Train Model Show. The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. However, the overall atmosphere of the event felt somewhat dingy and lacked an upbeat, inviting tone. We had arrived about an hour before closing. During the event, I had a few interactions that stood out. I asked a vendor a question but accidentally confused his business with another. His response included a noticeable shift in body language, placing his hands behind his back in a way that came across as needing to convey I’m superior to you. At another table where children’s projects and coloring activities were set up, I asked an attendee sitting there if he could hand me a coloring page. He used his finger with saliva to separate the pages before giving one to me. I chose not to use it, laid it down at another table and instead asked someone else to hand me one, who provided a page without sharing their DNA. One cool thing was the conductor hats and paper trains that were given out. Overall, the event was interesting but the atmosphere and attendee experience could of used some attention.
★★★★★YASUDHAR JONCHHEThis community center is awesome. Awesome front staff and new indoor pickleball court is really great.
★★★★★Bee Grant-DavisI excitedly stood in line for about an hour to cast my early vote in the local elections, and it truly was a rewarding experience! The facility impressed me with its modern design and cleanliness, plus it offers a variety of valuable community resources.
★★★★★ShanieceThis is a really nice center located in Cary . My son’s Pre-K school had his graduation there and it was perfect. It wasn’t too deep into Cary but yet the location is awesome. It was very clean and spacious there were multiple events going on simultaneously but they didn’t interfere with each other, we couldn’t hear the other event going on and I’m sure they didn’t hear us. All around it’s a very nice Community Center .
