The center was closed but the walk around the lake was fantastic, best public city park I think I have ever seen. Comparable to some national parks in beauty but right in the city!

Very very clean park. Had fun with my grandson. It’s an oasis in the middle of Raleigh

Enjoy the art classes and the bathrooms are always clean!

Love the trails but wish the water fountains worked when I was there.Did tai chi on the grass with a group and had an easy time of it.Have also been here to vote.Handicapped parking is easy to access and use when I need it. Plenty of other parking for when I dont.

Good

Always a nice place to visit and see some art as well as take a walk around the lake.

I went to see an Art Exhibit here. It was a beautiful place, beautiful Natural Area outside, in the really cute playground for the kids. Be inside showing area was very spacious and pretty. It was a nice place to have an Art Exhibit.

At Shelley Lake Park. Nice art exhibits, playground, lake, creek, 2+ mile paved greenway. Saw art, geese, ducks, heron or two, some turtles, bikers, walkers, kiddos and doggies. Great place to spend some quality time.

I attended a baby shower there and the artwork in the Raleigh room was beautiful.

So glad I took a beginning wheel class here! Classes fill up fast so definitely sign up early. Prices are affordable and after you finish the class you can use the studio, glazes, and have your work fired for a very reasonable yearly fee. I took Joans class and she was delightful.

Really neat buildling! Has a 70s vibe. I have only visited the building for a quick restroom stop but they seemed to have a lot of activities and classes you could sign up for.

Whatever activity you like to do, there is something here... Just love the energy this place has got!

Great classes, but an older facility. It needs an upgrade.

The Raleigh community centers have the best toddler/preschool classes! The teachers are friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. The classes are always age-appropriate. I have a hard time dragging my kids away at the end of class because they have SO much fun!

Cool place. Been here a long time

Sertoma is cool. They have nice classrooms for art, a nice very large event/gallery space and really fun outside things to interact with. Wish I lived closer to enjoy all the fun trails and activities.

This beautiful place hosts art and pottery studios and classes for young and old. It is right by a fine playground and Shelley lake, and its a great place to bring children.

Art gallery...art classes..pottery and jewelry classes...even sewing classes

Great place to get involved in artistic endeavors. A large selection of classes from beginner to advanced in drawing, painting, sculpting, pottery, cartooning, knitting, etc. Also a terrific place to take yoga and meditation classes at various levels with an excellent instructor in Kripalu yoga.

Went for a kids arts event. My kids had a blast... the outside scenery is beautiful.

Sertoma Arts Center provides the citizens of Raleigh a place to enjoy the arts, take classes and come together as a community of like minded people. Whether you are ready to engage in a yoga class, an art class or learn all there is to know about pottery in the EXCELLENT studio, this is the place to go - to learn - to be all that you can be! The outdoor playground is an attraction for a wide range of children and the paved area around Shelley Lake provides the outdoor enthusiast with a place to run, power walk or simply stroll on a lovely NC day.

Pottery studio here is great. Wheel and handbuilding classes are run by fantastic potters. If pottery isnt your thing, take an art class, jewelery making class, or a fitness class. Hidden gem located at a great city park.

Signed up for a beginners pottery class and it was a lot of fun! Ill be signing up for a studio card too. Staff is friendly, classes are great and the prices arent bad either.

This place is a hidden gem off Millbrook. I took my family there for art classes and enjoyed the environment and friendliness of the staff.

Located right next to Shelley Lake park it is hidden in the woods. A wonderful place to take creative classes and see local art show. I have had three friends that had art shows in the main room and it was very enjoyable to see their art in that setting. Recommend see what that have to offer next. A real community service.

Great place to walk!

Sertoma Arts Center is located at the main entrance to the Shelley Lake trail system. It is a location for many arts and music classes offered through Wake countys Leisure Ledger. My own class, as illustrated was a beginning guitar class and it was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful park and facilities. However, DO NOT WASTE your time trying to rent a room for a kids birthday. Director very negative and basically put up an obstacle to every suggestion I made to have a party for my 5 year old in one of the rooms. If she complained about the number of kids, I suggested bringing a smaller party, she said maybe. When I asked if I could bring a couple of people to teach kids to do a little art work, she said no because they teach art there. When I then asked if I could hire one of the art teachers to do it, she then said not for that size---which I had said earlier could be reduced. So in other words, we dont want you here. That is fine but then do NOT LIST IN YOUR WEBSITE that you can rent a room for birthday parties!!! or at least list your terms (number of kids, ages etc). Huge waste of time. Clearly the city does not need the extra money.

The clay studio is always very clean, the staff and other potters are all friendly and knowledgeable, and there is a clear and orderly firing system.

Came here for a Sensory Friendly art event. It was a great space and welcoming to all

They were absolutely GREAT when we scheduled my daughters wedding! Loved it!

I started taking Terry Deans beginning acrylics class. He does an immersive technique by having his students pick their own projects to work on and coaching them through brush selections, color theory and encouraging to just do it.They are about to do a renovation of the building, but, as it currently exists its a bit dated. I like it though, the people are nice and there seems to be many options available for classes or studio memberships. Ill be taking classes on the future, with Terry and also at Pullen in the spring.

Great variety of classes and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Just next to the trails, helped me with the restroom. ;)

Great pottery class and studio- easiest way to meet and craft all in one..

Do not waste your time on the Mini Monets class for preschoolers. Although it sounds wonderful, there is little to no instruction in this class. Its more of a space to allow your children to play, on their own, with the centers puzzles, makers, play doh, etc. There is never more than one art project per class (the class is one hour!) and with this age group, there should definitely be at least two projects. The first class there was no project, just the puzzles. The teacher is barely engaged in the group and literally says that things are just self explanatory...keep in mind the age bracket is 18-36 months!! It is basically an expensive play group. It is totally up to the parents to keep the children interested in the class. Half of the people registered in the class stopped coming. We suffered through it because of how expensive it was. Total disappointment!!!

Nice place to do photo shoots

I spoke to Rotary Club members

Very educational
