My son participated in the team hunc basketball youth team. He enjoyed the experience and I enjoyed how the instructors were with the children.
There are currently two women receptionist in the management office. One receptionist is younger and the other is a older woman. The level of disrespect they both exhibit in person and on the phone is out of this world, it absolutely unbelievable and there is no authority figure to check them. They lie, make up fictitious stories curse tenants and threaten tenants and nothing is being done. These are the people who are allowed access to your personal information that work in this development. It is a complete horror show and there is no authority figure stepping in (it is like Jekyll and Hide) They can tell management and the housing assistant anything and they will believe it. They are unprofessional, uneducated and are allowed to behave in any negative manner they choose. They even disrespect peoples children. There is no professional ethic or work standard. All the phone calls should be recorded and cameras should be installed in the management offices. The attitudes of these people is disgusting and frightening. Some agency needs to step in and do an investigation.
I used to be one of the CYO kids there in the 1966-67 summer program, and then I became a summer program counselor there in 1972 and 1974. It's a great Community Center.
It is very spacious. Have to worry about parking. And only local grocery stores close by. A few discount stores are located not too far but it would be best to walk to those stores, rather than drive and lose your parking spot. You may also see individuals not on your guest list as this is a community space. Overall. Nice place.
This center is great not only do they rent the space (with a full kitchen) but they also have a senior center and an after school program.
