★★★★Charles WilliamsI love it here. I wish there was somewhere in front that I could lock my bicycle up though.
★★★★★Patricia WilliamsGreat Community Center! I went to Black Health is Wealth @ this location. Awesome event & space! I also attended a Yoga Class here in April, 2026. Awesome class!
★★★★★Dr. Howard ShoreThis place is amazing. All the people are very kind. They are very excited to help the kids in anything they need help with. we do basketball and wrestling there and the coaches are amazing! They are kind of kids. Gentle guidance but yet they make them accountable for mistakes. It's clean and well cared for.
★★★★★Mattie MorganAn outdoor community free event. Plenty polite parking lot attendants & spaces. Vendors of various categories, a variety of uncommon carnival games, food trucks, bond fire, pony rides, Wayne health mobile, & plenty smiling, but cold, volunteers! A great time & very organized. I suggested hot coco/cider next time. Maybe not due to tiny tots.
