My family had a gathering in the pavilion near the community center and we had a good time.My child and I had to use the bathroom, so the staff kindly let us sign in to use the bathroom.
Staff has to do better with children who has disabilities. I'm shocked that this community center kicked out my 12 year old son for going to the computer lab. What bothers me is that I wasn't notified my child was put out of the center. Thank Goodness he was found safe.
A welcoming place for people in the community.
I have many rumors about Gum Springs when I start to Gums Springs I thought it was one of the best places ever. Not only do My boys play for their county football league but I also attend on of the best churches that ever was open. I love the historical sites and I also love that everyone have a close bond that can never be broken. I love the Gum Springs Community and will never forget it. The Gum Springs Football league made young men out of my boys and for that I am very pleased.
The youth rec center was nice. Structured activities and great staff. Attentive to the children.
