Powered by GoogleI paid my money and showed up at 9 30 when they are supposed to be open at 7 on Mondays. The door was locked and the lady who was in there just stared at me as I knocked looking for some form of explanation of why they are not open and to make it bad it's my first time going so the first impression is horrible.
In phoenix we have many community activity centers. Many of them are for senior citizens only; however, the one in Washington park a jewel!! and open to the public. This center has a well equipped gym!! you join for $20.00 membership for a year! $30.00 for 6 month to use the gym...that is a SUPER BARGAIN (especially during the Summer months) BEAUTIFUL settings, super clean and beautiful neighborhood across the famous Phoenix Tennis center. It is worth it!!! you don't have to be a senior citizen! and you can use any other in Phoenix!! :) :)
If you have ever wished you could draw, try the drawing class at Washington Park. I'm a stick figure kind of non-artist, but I've learned a LOT and learn something new which each class!
The center is wonderful but most importantly the people that work and run the center are great! Kids are monitored well and never had issues when my son goes for summer camp. These are city owned and run facilities and it's truly a blessing to the community to have these. I put my son in a private camp and he would come home with marks and one day wasn't fed lunch. No issues here!
We had a great time on our folk dancing festival this year at this facility.
