I went here for the free community clinic for pets, dogs and cats! It's actually always conducted outside in a park like setting, on a corner. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the locations they always choose. The areas are always run down, in places near the railroad tracks, where there are a lot of warehouses, and abandoned none working cars, and no parking spaces. They help the low income communities by giving free vaccinations, and free clinic for animals that normally don't get care a vet because of the high cost. And when you barely making a living yourself, these free services help those who normally couldn't afford it. It really helps me because I care for a colony stray and ferals that lives outside and homeless, and would never get any care. These free clinics do excellent work for the low income community. The stars again is just for the location. Has nothing to do with the Recreation Center itself. These free clinics take place outside of the center, and free to anyone who has a pet, that may be in need of vaccinations, or just need some food, or pets supplies like leashes and collars, and stuff. Wish the City of Oakland would do better beautifying our areas though, just saying!
It's a great place!! Definitely needs the city of Oakland to give it some extra love, by upgrading this center. Youth from the 80's & near by can knows by growing up with beautiful healthy things where they live! We dont have that on a day to day, we can't normalize beautiful things, it can be great where we are from too. Love the staff..
Safe family friendly there was security don't quote me on this if it's like that all the time
My family and I moved here about 6 years ago from the lion Creek crossing apartments that is a few blocks away. My mom realized that was the WORSE MISTAKE EVER!. The apartment is great BUT MARGARET! the property manager is HORRIBLE!! always has an attitude with tenants, and when you need to fix anything in your apartment, you have to tell her at least 20 times before she let's the maintenance know. Security sucks so bad. They'll be there while your car gets broken into, and they always towing tenants cars like it's fun. Don't move here if you want a peaceful living. The property manager don't let you do anything around ur own apartment. Can't hang a towel outside, can't hand wash ur car next to ur own apartment. She knocks at doors early morning telling you not to do this or that. Ugh just a PAIN in the u know what. we can't WAIT to move!!
Can't say enough about this recreational center excellent place to take your kids!!
