★★★★Darlene MunginIt's okay a concession stand would have been nice
★★★★★Dwight BarnettBasketball tournament for my grandson, the place is well organized and you could hold games all weekend and practice teams during the week, that's what I would do.
★★★★JC SankerDid not like the manager who tried to micromanage everything going on with our games. He was very rude to me and others. Nice facility but some things need to be fixed up!
★★★★★Eric SchiffGreat recreation center with at least two full size basketball courts
★★Gail McMillanWas there for a basketball tournament. The gym is too small. The lady kept telling people to sit down when there just was no room. Rest rooms were so dirty. The concession stand was the best thing.
