It wasn't until my kids were running around the playground and I was catching my breath when I saw the sign: Mount Airy Boys and Girls Club. So that's what this place is, I thought to myself.

I saw all the kids running around and the mentors perched around the play area before I realized, Oh shoot, this is a boys and girls club! Was I intruding on something? If I was, the staff were kind enough not to kick me and my kiddos off the premises (thank you!).

The play area has plenty of upper-body-heavy challenges like monkey bars and jungle gyms of sorts. The playground has a few slides and a neat little bridge.

While Zoey (16 months) could climb the stairs up the playground and walk across the bridge to get to the slides, she wasn't very comfortable navigating the rest of the playground. The older two (4.5 and 3) avoided the monkey bars but had fun across the rest of the play area.

There's a little sphere into which kiddos can climb and get spun around. Attached to the smaller jungle gym is a mini climber (we're talking 5-6 notches) that Zoey had fun scaling.

While this park is in a less-friendly neighborhood, I was glad to have the company of the kids and staff at the club. They definitely made my visit more enjoyable. I'd encourage you to visit during after-school hours if it's just going to be you and your kiddos.

Since this is a boys and girls club, I believe the facilities (such as the bathroom) are for attendees only. Plan either a short trip or have your kids use the rest room right before visiting.

Awesome Organization with such caring and giving people at every level.

i have four of my children that go here for the last two years, and i can say this year has been a breath of fresh air. the change with only allowing so many in each class., and having orientation prior to starting has change the experience my kids have had. its a wonderfull place now to walk into the building you dont have kids running everywhere. it so peacefull . i love the fact that the kids are learning more this year and coming home happy instead of agitated. please keep the good work going. thank you staff for making the children feel special and happy.

It's legit awesome! especially the summer program with water day and games and winning prizes awesome!!

My kids love it here and the dinner they feed them helps a lot my kids have been going here for years and will continue to, nice staff!

my mom use to work here so overall it's a good place.
