I was very impressed with the staff and the new lifeguards. This summer, I enjoyed swimming in the community pool with my family, which brought back a lot of memories. I like the entire play area, it’s clean and diverse. They offered swimming lessons, the center was open to the community and I watched as an riders drove by smiling. Older couples played ping pong in the center. I really enjoyed seeing families of all kinds enjoying the recreation activities: pool, sprinklers, basketball and center. Good times
