    Good place for active adults. They have a basic weight room (which can be crowded at times). Also a basketball court which is also used for group activities and classes. You can sign up for various other activities like Zumba and other group fitness activities.

    This facility allows to play Badminton every Tuesday from 6 to 9 pm. We been playing there from 15 years but from past few years this facility has gone down. We requested number of times to the staff and Manager to fix the floor and light fixtures since to play Badminton we need proper light to see bird but no action has been taken by anyone. We send tremendous amount of email to Manager but no results. The back room is so dirty, badminton nets are torn out and the biggest issue with the lights. Most of the bulbs are so dim and worn out that we can't even play. There were 40 to 45 members which I think have come down to 15 to 18 people. I have also stop going to this Facility. I hope they will see these comments and do something about their Facility Lighting.

    Parking is ample and close to building front. Facility is spacious and clean with lots of natural light. Inside about 5 steps lead down to workout room. Staff are diligent about keep the towelettes in stock for wiping machines after use. Restrooms are next door.

    The facility was clean and all the exercise equipment was functioning. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating.

    Easy parking. The fitness center is nicely equipped but some of the machines are old and often out of service. The center is clean and users are generally friendly. Having the library next door is a big plus.

    Has a decent amount equipment for a low membership fee. However, what could be a decent place to exercise is ruined by entitled acting people that start ridiculous fights, aren’t serious about exercising and monopolize the equipment, and staff that does not enforce the rules. Because of the number of people wanting to use the treadmills, they instituted a time limit. So, the walkers that are walking at 2 mph cover the displays with their towels or T-shirts. Brought it to the attention of the staff. Instead, I got a contrary argument from them, and nothing was done. Considering it was hard to get a treadmill, I had a guy get in my face and start a fight with me one day for using a treadmill that was too noisy to his liking. Another day, I came into an empty room except for one person. The room had multiple fans. I moved one of the fans that was nowhere near him. He told me that all the fans were positioned on him. Really! I run for 45 minutes at over 8 mph. Maybe these people are jealous. If so, deal with it! Haven’t been here in years and have since bought my own equipment, exercise at home, and now have peace.

    I work out at the gym. The gym equipment is pretty good and they have a great senior citizen (55+) discount of $50/yr!!! It can get busy during popular hours.

    I used to go here as well. Dropped off at the community center to participate in the after-school stuff. I only faintly remember some of the staff, but they were genuinely nice and rather cool. I don't know if they still do the same things they did with me (and the others there that year), but we got to do lots of fun stuff. There was a game truck and a roller skating event at one point. Fun times.

    They always have fun activities for the after-school kids.

    My Granddaughter goes to this center after school. It is very clean and the kids all seem to get along. The staff are very Curtious and I would recommend this center to everybody for activities.

    Over the past few years, we've been there twice for early voting.

    Great staff. Good place for kids to go after school

    Great facility, but staff needs to at least gently attempt to enforce age groups during drop-in activities. Every 18+ time slot is overcrowded because youth participants stick around long after their activity ends, leading to nearly hour long wait times to play, particularly for older players.
