I feel like part of the family now when I come here to visit the library. There are lots of activities from young to old with workout classes, racket ball, a swimming pool, a game room with pool, and a library among other things. I visit the library often and the cool chick who works there even ordered The Wizard of Oz from another library for me to pick up and read and I've also printed out resumes here. It's a wonderful place with the same familiar, smiling, sweet faces. Love it.

Went there for the African culture event. Was free. Upon arrival, was greeted by employee who cheerfully directed me to the areas of activities. Though clothing was advertised, there was none. Had a large room dedicated to art and history, with artists and family members at each table. All were cheerful and eagerly spoke of their topics. The art was for sale, at reasonable prices. There were actual family members at their tables, which displayed significant pictures and documentation. One was actually related to a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Next went to music show in auditorium, where I heard some great jazz and blues selections by several bands. Then, in the same place, saw African percussion performance by grade and high school students, which was very well done. All shows were well hosted and announced. Finally, saw performance, again by same apparent aged students, of portions of famous musicals. They were amazingly wellprepared and talented. Some had already won awards and scholarships. After this, I went to get some free soul food, which was delicious. Talked to and complemented the cooks, one of whom was over 80 years old. They also gladly shared their recipes, except one who said the meat loaf seasoning was a long held family secret. Took many pictures. A great program from the parks department! Pictures to follow.

Honestly for this to be a community center it's one of the worst. I have never had to pay to play basketball at a community center. That's why it's a community center smh I won't be back and quite frankly nobody should unless your a paying member

The ladies at the front desk we're great very friendly... We actually had the entire place to ourselves our 2 year old girls had a blast had a huge area just for children their age/size... The life guards that were working at the time they were always alert making sure the girls were safe I totally recommend this place for a family day for everyone it's affordable for my five member family it cost $10 for the day honestly we had just as much fun here as we did wen we went to the wilderness and paid way less... This will be a place we visit every month for a family day since we live 2 hours away but was totally worth the drive... They have other activities to offer also... Thank u guys so much for just a friendly smile made our day great!!!

Every time we go there the bathrooms are locked we pay huge amounts of taxes in this town and we don't want any excuses on why just open the bathrooms when someone rents the pavilion please also it would be nice not to eat over top of someone else's food that's caked on top of the tables .. firm but fair thanks for listening

We have been looking forward to coming back here for about a year. My son had fantastic memories of the water slide. Since we live a ways away, today was the first day it worked to come. He went down the slide once and was approached by a life guard. He brusquely told him he couldn t do it anymore. We had checked his height coming in. He was maybe 1/2 inch short. Because he had done it with no problems before, we assumed he would be fine. I went over to discuss it with the lifeguard and was treated with total contempt. His demeanor and the way he spoke to me was disrespectful and dismissive. If the policy has changed since we were last there, I completely understand that; however, the lack of professionalism and basic human decency by this lifeguard was deplorable. We left immediately after that with both of my boys in tears. We won t be returning to your community center.

@William Hodge No It Is Not A Place For Wanna Be Hood Rats. It's A Great Family Oriented Place. It's A Place Where Kids Can Go To Have Fun And Do Things Together And Make Friends . I Personally See It As A Place Close To My Home That I Can Go To And Enjoy Time With My Family. I Think It Would Be A Great Place For Anyone Who Wants To Have A Good Time.

The ballet class was great, my daughter was complaining that she didn't want to go before class but clearly enjoyed it once started. There are many activities including an indoor pool and small library. It makes a nice break from fighting to get them off the tablets.

Staff was frienfly enough. Pool was filthy there were bits of diaper a pin clumps of debris underwater. I didn't put my head under the water just in the waterfall and got an ear ache. I felt slimy after swimming there don't think I'll return. 2017

Very clean and a lot to choose from. We walked the track but they have racket ball, a weight room, I saw a class of some sort, a basketball area and a lot of nice machines around the track which was really nice. I also saw a pool, library, and theater. It's a really nice center.

It's a fun place for kids, but it's always full of kids whose parents are no where near. The pool is nice, and the lifeguards do a great job! Just come, prepared for there to be a crowd. Especially on the weekends. Because, there will be! And prepare to hear children using adult language, because that's what they do when their parents aren't around. Cause, you know, it's cool.

Nice facility, it's usually not very crowded. The people however were not very informative about the services the center has. I'm sure there is lots more to do there than just swim. There was 1 very attentive life guard that done a very good job at watching the swimmers!
