★★★★★Scott BrownThe Hockessin PAL is a great resource for parents and children around the Hockessin area. We have used them for afterschool care, camps and sports. The staff are great and very attentive. They have been a life saver for busy parents. Most school busses have stops at the PAL and they offer free afterschool care. Their summer camps are our kids favorite but also the least expensive in the area. They multiple trips during the summer including a visit to Hershey Park and a variety of activities and guests. The gymnasium, billiards, and computer facilities are hits, as are the sports activities including kickball, dodgeball, soccer, and flag football. There is a longer list of activities including volleyball and others. Also, many sports and activities to participate in outside of camps and afterschool pickup games. Have a visit and learn more if you are in the area. Highly recommended!
★★★★★Louis FletcherVery nice facility. Clean and well kept. Staff was very helpful.
★★★★Ben SlechtaA good facility. The volunteer staff is friendly. I question the upper level management's decision to not allow spectators in the facility. Parents drive all that way and pay a lot of money for their child to participate in additional sports leagues. Telling the parents they cant come in and watch is absurd.
★★★★★Shay G.Great place, and stellar fights hosted a great event.
★★★★John BreretonNice modern facility. I attended a kickboxing tournament there and was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. Very inviting to make you want to use the facility.
