Powered by GoogleI have been writing letters to the DPW about having a legitimate Track placed on the grounds. To no avail. There are some outdoor renovations taking place now, but there is no plan for a track . I suppose only privileged neighborhoods deserve a safe place to walk and jog. The staff inside is friendly. Representation for Ward 7 is a bismal.
The pool was Kool . I had a blast working out I. The pool because idk how to swim
The playground is overall nice. It needs some maintenance update, but it's a good place for the kids. They have 2 water areas. None of them works.
Took my granddaughter here today. She loved it. It's clean. The lifeguards are on point. It's not overcrowded. There are lots of chairs in a shaded area
It was awesome experience. The children swimming instructor Coach Gem was fantastic. He made the children feel safe and secure. Thank you
