Powered by GoogleAttended a paid event here and it was chaos. They charge you to get into the event but lack adequate parking for major events. I ended up across the street, down the road at a public works building and had to walk. There were schools from Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi competing...100s of parents and no parking spots. They made lots of money and so did the city of Oxford, cops were out there writing tickets to parents whom don't know their way around Oxford and parked where they could. There was no one outside to direct parents to other available parking (down the road) no signs with direction nada!! Just folks at the door taking ya money. I will not be present for another tournament at this location. I'm sure other parents feel the same especially those whom got ticketed for parking in "no parking zones". They had 3/4 officers in the parking lot after the event began writing as many tickets as possible. I am a smoker so I seen the action. The people who organized this should be fired, a new coordinator is needed! Ridiculous!
Great staff and fun times! Really nice facility!!
Good place to bring your kids to play basketball
1st time at the dance class. Everyone was super friendly!!
My sister and I just began walking on their indoor track last week and are walking every other day. She's recovering from 2 back surgeries after after a wreck and broken back at L1. She also has bad knees as do I, who've had 3 knee surgeries. The track is a soft surface and very easy on both our injuries, thank goodness! We've managed to do a little more each time that we've gone. The Activity Center also has all kinds of activities and classes for people of all ages. Many nights after we walk, we go downstairs and watch her grandson (my great-nephew) play his basketball game in the really young (he's 5) age bracket.
