👍👍 Clean, well kept and spacious. They have good after school and other activities for neighborhood youth and adults. Staff are friendly and do their jobs well. A new outdoor playground is being built. Mr. Emanuel P. Johnson, age 97, lives nearby and visits often.

    I think this is one of the best keep secrets in the Progress Village area it been here 2yrs as of March 2018. It has a gym @ $10 a month. Karate for kids every Tues $5 can't beat the price and a variety of programs for many ages ( that vary). 💘 it!

    I am visiting for a few weeks from out of state. I go to the rec center every morning and am impressed with the facility and how well the cardio equipment is maintained. The staff here are very helpful and friendly, and I enjoy coming here because of them. Jeff Brust

    Love the updated equipment, but does get hot. Better to go closer to the end of the day or probably early morning. Half of it does get covered by the sunshade and building.

    First visit. Attended a meeting so did not get to see the entire facility. Area I visited was nicely set up and the overall feel is good. Grounds and building appear to be well maintained.

    I like it, very clean and organized. Lots of parking, and pickleball is played in the gym after 11:00 AM, and on Thursday after 5:00pm.

😐 It’s not the best park in the area. The playground is very hot, there not much shade around.

My baby loves to pi...

🫤 Went for covid testing. The line was out the door and down the sidewalk. When I was almost at the building some lady wearing nice clothes and high heels got walked to the front of the line in front of everyone else by a cop.

👍 It is good. My only complaint would be that there are no real pull up bars or dip bars. You can however use the playground equipment creatively for those purposes. Also, one gripe is that the restroom doors were locked. This was at about 10 a.m. on a Wednesday. I'm not sure when they unlock or when...
