Actually, 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.

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 (

★★★★★Stephen Becnel

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.

★★★★★Alice Holloway

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.
