A fun park! They have a brand new play structure, swings for big and little kids, baseball fields and tennis courts, a covered picnic area with tables, and a recreation center. It is clean and located nicely in a neighborhood.

I dig this place. Say what you will about it but Ive experienced rec centers or similar establishments in a lot of different places. Holcom Park Recreation Center is by far one of the best. Its clean...I know some will not agree with me. But keep in mind that a lot of people these days will never be happy with a given situation anywhere! Also remember that this is a place completely open to the general public. Lol its fairly difficult to keep a place spotless when folks from all walks of life and varying ideas of who is responsible for a persons mess. Anyway, the staff all seem to be pretty cool and friendly. The grounds are well maintained as well and too and also. There will always be some things that could use improvement anywhere you go. So be happy with what you have available Lawrence! Be grateful for this place existing and is open for any and almost all. Ya know, within reason. Its probably not open to bears...bears are to do all their bear stuff and their activities elsewhere. That is all. Carry on. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program which is already in progress...

I really appreciate the new playground. The tennis courts could use some fence work, but the playground is new and fun. My toddler loves climbing to the big slide. It also seems like a very popular place park in the early evening time. Tons of families with primary school and younger children.

I loved bringing the kids here when they were younger and I lived in Lawrence. There was always something fun for them to do inside and out. They loved this community center! When I move back this summer I plan to make use of their facilities again with their little cousins. I love the outdoor playgrounds, the open fields and the baseball diamonds. When the weather is bad the kids would play air hockey and racquetball in the gym. Its one of Lawrences gems that everyone should take advantage of.

Too dangerous. Kids shot another there a couple months ago - see article in LJWorld.

Review №25

While mostly a good place for basketball and volleyball inside and baseball/softball outside, there are rooms available for meetings and parties if you dont need fancy. Parking is pretty limited, so if youre coming for a game or tournament, you may be walking a bit to get there...but it is a sports complex, so expect some exercise! Theres also a picnic area with a playground on the west side. Great for a group of 50-75.

Holcom Park has grass, trees, tennis and basketball courts, baseball and soccer fields, a rec center, and lots of fun toys. Its clean and well maintained. If you go there be sure to climb the cluster of trees next to the toys, its pretty fun and not too tall so even accident prone people like me can safely climb it. They also have a gazebo for birthday parties. Yay!

Ive mainly used the playground, and not the actual rec center. Its geared​ towards older kids, and is difficult for kids under 4 to navigate. One incredible thing is the multicultural diversity found here. Ive heard Hindi, Mandarin, and Spanish all in the same day.
