It was nice, but the room my friend rented only had one restroom available, which isn't good when people are having a party. Other than that, everything else l se was nice and clean.

Reviewing for outdoor and Afterschool Program. Outdoor space has plenty of options for kids. 2 different playgrounds on the outside, plus bathrooms. Lots of grassy areas and large enough for soccer. Basketball court, places to sit, gazebos with benches & bbq. Inside the facility is an outdoor rock climbing wall for kids and a tot lot. Also indoor basketball court. Activities for kids after school if you sign up for Rec Center sports or activities. Bathrooms were clean. They have free afterschool sign in/sign out for kids 2-5pm Mon-Thursday and Friday 12-3 I think. I don’t go on Fridays so Idk. It helps parents who need to do a lil work but need the kids to have supervised play or homework help. I wouldn’t recommend leaving the kid there by themselves till 5 because the policy for the free program is that kids can sign themselves out. But great if you are just in another room or just outside.

Great dog park with beautiful view of the ocean on clear days. Best it has a dust pan w handle and rake for poo so no need for plastic bags. Nice dog water fountain bowl too. 🌍🔄🌎🔄🌏🔄

Very beautiful basketball courts. I've never seen a basketball court get so much use. The kids use them during the day, but at night the adults take over the courts with a serious game of basketball. During the week a basketball class is taught here and the instructor is amazing, would highly recommend you sign your kids up. The park also boasts a community center, a dog park on the east end of the park with very friendly people, and a baseball diamond with lights for evening use.

There are multiple areas of this park on a large hill. At the very top you have a parking lot with a large baseball field, a dog park, a small playground, as you walk down, you have some tables and picnic areas and a larger wood chips playground and at the very bottom you have another playground, the actual community center and a basketball court and probably some restrooms (I didn't see them today). It's on a hill slope so not ideal for bike riding and there are some steps to go from middle to bottom areas. Not busy this morning, but nicely tucked away with nice views.
