A friend and I decided to share a Tonys Pizza while social distancing at Max Myers Rec. Brought back fond memories of the 60s when Max Myers had a swirly sliding board in the middle of the field. It was nice seeing so many people walking and talking and riding their bicycles and exercising in the Park area

Good playground, a bit crowd at times and parents do not watch over their kids, they do whatever they want including bullying other kids, bikes and scooters are everywhere and can hit little kids if you are not careful, Tennis court can be a good place to ride scooters or small bikes. Basketball courts are full of kids that rather hang out all night than go home, just like any public parks just keep an eye on your little ones, it does have everything you need for a park including a swimming pool during the hot summer months, it is not a clean park but something to do if you are looking for a place to stretch your legs.

This is not my local park but a place i took my niece and nephew. They enjoyed themselves. 2 playgrounds. Baby park and big kid park. I did not appreciate a random person driving there car thru the feild. Its a playground not a side street

While the pool here is nice and quiet, the lifeguards are NOT. Theres a female lifeguard there rocking flashy gold sunglasses and big gold earrings that was quite rude towards me when i politely asked a simple question. The pool was to reopen at 5, and at 5:20 i asked when theyd be reopening. She was very rude. Not to mention very inattentive for someone who is supposed to be keeping watching over peoples lives. Did her parole officer get her this job? How is she a lifeguard?!

Its okay, theres a swimming pool perfect for the summertime with a playground area for children. The basketball courts are sometimes destroyed and there are cracks in it which could pose as a potential tripping hazzard. Overall its a good place to take your kids out to play.

I coach baseball here. Very helpful staff. Good place for kids to play. The pool is a good option during the summer and the staff is excellent and always ready to help. They have just broken ground on a new playground. The basketball courts are pretty busy though. Soccer is a major activity there and it is easy to find a game to join.

Not bad at all for a city playground. Has lots of room for activities, a rec center and a swimming pool. Its been there since i was a kid. Could use some new playground equipment and would be great if they added an area for dogs !
