This is such a great spot! Very nice, clean and looks to be recently renovated community center that got pool tables, individual study desk, small group work stations, classrooms to rent out, outdoor courtyard seating, pool tables, games, basketball court, PH balanced water stations among other things. Please note that you need to get either a day pass for $2 from the front desk or a $20 annual membership subscription from the front desk at either of the center locations ( connects by previously mentioned courtyard *see pics) as there is a youth/ general facility and theb a senior center building right next door. There's a lot of really great resources and activities etc available that you should consult front desk about as fees are separate in some cases and individualized and others.. we're talking art classes fitness classes recreational activities and even meal programs.. they have benefits at their senior center for patrons 60 years and up however if you are 18 years or older with a disability you are also able to participate in the availability. They even have meals they're doing starting up soon which I think entail a lunch in the afternoon that if not covered by the senior membership can be obtained with the 18 or older disability thing at a slightly additional cost per meal. Legitimately impressed, as the other day when finding out the membership costs I was kind of put off because off at the idea of paying to get access to the facilities but you can definitely see that the funds are absolutely needed and worth the price of admission seriously the impressed feeling I have right now after my conversation with the ladies at the front is extremely rare so if you're interested take a look spread the word the place is like a ghost town they could surely use the activity and crowd . Take a look it's located NW corner of the park.
Played volleyball at the community center when I was younger and now my son plays for the basketball league. Coach Stefan is awesome and works well with the kids on the team. Love that the practices are indoors and the womens bathroom is always clean.
I came here to watch a basketball game; it was free. If you want good seats, you need to arrive early. The general group of people were clearly fans but nothing out of control.
