Powered by GoogleActually, I have not had enough experience with Rae Alerio Ctr to properly rate and review this establishment. I have only been once, trying to get my Autistic daughter registered for Camp Rainbow special needs summer camp. It is very clean and there's a big gym. It looks like a great facility from what I saw. I'll update my review when I have a bit more experience with the center.
Awesome place! It gets crowded on weekends, but it's well organized. Rackets are placed in a box, and each game counts as one play. After each game, the next team takes over, ensuring everyone gets a turn to play.
To clarify…. this review is SPECIFICALLY towards the JPRD Pickleball Complex that’s connected to the Ree Alario Special Needs Center. This complex is really nice! There are 9 pickleball courts to play in with roofing that blocks the sun and factory fans for some circulation. For these courts, it’s specifically for a queue. There are buckets with labels that describe your skill level (
A wonderful facility for adults with mental disabilities with a caring, loving, hardworking staff that goes above and beyond to provide many fun activities for all participants.
The JPRD Special Needs programs for both children and adults that take place here are excellent. Our 39-year-old son has participated since he was 10, and we are very happy about the social opportunities they provide.
