★★★★★Terri Graves

The Howard Community Center staff is like family and friends who cares about you. They are very helpful and kind. I enjoy the opportunity to teach life skills and learn new skills with a community who really cares about the people they serve.

★★★★Phonda Wiles

They have a huge park. My youngest son practice football there for the Mifflin Sharks. The only thing I wish is if they could keep the center open for awhile longer. They close at 5:30 pm. I personally haven't been inside the recreational center. It's a nice place.

★★★★★April Jones-Thurston

Lots of activities for the community to sign up for. Staff is friendly and helpful. Just needs additional parking to accommodate all of the people coming for activities. Just a suggestion that the corner lot is empty and would work great.

★★★★★Renee Tobe

Great facility! We were there for basketball, but they have many programs for the community. The staff was very nice and answered all my questions. If your looking for something for your kiddo or yourself I'd visit and see what programs might interest you!!

★★★Caroline V

I enjoyed the NorthEast park at this location. Nice playground, benches and trees. No walking trail. Has a basketball court not in the best shape.
