We attended a beginners pickleball session that meets here twice a week in the mornings. It was a well organized experience. There are 8 courts. Two courts were used for the beginners session. The others were all used (and full) by normal pick up players (not beginners). The courts are very nice.

I can't say enough great and wonderful things about this place. My son has been going here since he was 5 he is now 13 and still goes. The staff is so caring loving compassionate and the kids love them. They give them structure as well as care for them. This summer was different due to covid but they made due with what they had. My son has learned so much going there, the bonds he has created with his coaches means so much to me as a mother. I know when he's at the rec he is safe and very well cared for. This is so important to me to know he is safe and is always having fun. I would recommend hands down to any parent considering if they should put their child there. My child will continue to go until he is no longer able to. He has asked if when he is old enough can he be a volunteer coach. That should tell you as a kids perspective how they feel about this amazing place. I make sure to thank them all the time because it can't be easy but they do it and do it GREAT!!!!

all the activities are so fun The Peers are so nice and respectful. If there having a hard time they don’t get mad the handle it out. And they go to the pool every Friday and they take a swimming test. And don’t worry there are professional lifeguards and doctors on site at all times. And if they don’t pass they get a floaty, and if they pass they don’t need it. All on all it’s a great time! Highly recommended!
