Came here to shoot for a few hours, the court is nice and it seems like a great spot for the community.

★★★★Marjorie Thomas

It is a good place to bring the children to play to this location, it has a tennis court, I think that it also has a basketball court. I've been here several times. I have had even to give my vote at this Center when elections are going on in DC.

Never a dull moment here. Always an event for the community to enjoy. The workers here are by far the most welcoming while still being professional. Highly recommend for the programs offered at this location. Nice playground and field as well.

★★★★SDP SS

This is a great playground and recreation center. The splash park is nice and has plenty for the kids to run around and splash in. There is a kiddie playground ideal for kids 2 and under. Then there is a larger playground for the bigger kids. It’s separate areas but close enough to watch kids on both if needed. There are tennis courts and basket ball courts. The area is generally clean but sometimes you’ll find adults who leave food and drinks on the ground and don’t clean up after themselves. I only give a 4 out of 5 because the place usually has trash on the outside of the play areas near the picnic tables

★★★★★Carissa Espinosa

This was a perfect playground for my 4 year old. It had lots of things to climb that we're appropriate for her ability level while still being fun and interesting. There's also a larger playground right next to it for older kids; the bigger part has a huge slide appropriate for late elementary age and also some climbing stuff for elementary age kids.
