Large wel maintained recreation center.

This has been a place where relax and have fun since I have been in the area. When I first started coming here it was open seven days a week which was the best because I was able to play basketball whenever I wanted. Back in the day the field used to be dirt before it was renovated to turf. I always enjoyed coming here because it was close by, I would hoop (Play basketball) anywhere from three to five hours a day. Then during the school days and summer time I was still able to hoop in the mornings before their private activities took place in the gym. I met a lot of good people here that I can call my friends.A lot of great memories and sweat was left behind on the courts here. Ever since I started working long periods, I still make a visit here once in a awhile with friends to have some friendly runs at the basketball court here. The area is safe, during the weekdays the soccer/baseball field is filled with kids and families for their private programs. Also they have outdoor basketball courts on the upper side along with a tennis court. I highly recommend this place to all athletes, for anyone who wants a cardio workout or if you just want a place to relax for a piece of mind. I definitely will be back and this is a place I can call close to home.

It's recommended for families. Basketball, soccer, table tennis, tennis and pickleball are available.
