Has a nice place to ride bikes and scooter but the facilities aren’t nice
We went to the outdoor concert in the park last Friday evening, Sept. 6th, 2019 & had a great time. The band was High Tide Society playing a classic mix of Yacht Rock. The band played from 6 pm to 8:15 pm & the large crowd had wonderful time dancing the night away. Another positive aspect, this is a very friendly dog park & dogs are also welcome to attend the concert.Ideal Plumbing provided much of the free food which included hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, chips & bottled water. Grocery Outlet gave out free popcyles & Ponces Mexican restaurant offered free chicken or beef tacos.People brought their blankets & beach chairs, ice chests & anything comfortable to relax on to enjoy the music, friendly neighborhood atmosphere & beautiful weather.This is a large grassy park, with a 1/2 mile circular sidewalk for those avid walkers or runners. Theres a large, safe playground for the children to play on & 2 basketball courts, indoor & outdoor.There are many picnic benches scattered throughout this friendly park & its a popular place to celebrate birthdays & holidays. Also there are many exercise, yoga & self defense classes that meet here. There are several very large trees that provide much needed shade & comfort on those hot summer days. There are public bathrooms that are open during public hours.As for parking, there is plenty of on street parking as well as a parking lot just for the park, with handicap spaces. This is a very safe park with little, if any, crime reported. No graffiti, drug or alcohol use is allowed. The park is very well lit during the evening hours & no overnight camping/sleeping is allowed. There are many trash cans & doggie poop bags available for free. Everyone pitches in to keep this park clean, beautiful & safe for all, young & old to enjoy.
My son goes there for Soccer Shots. I know the rec center offers a lot of other activities. So great place to go. Great place for doggies too!
Because of the pandemic we dont let our children play on playgrounds BUT here there is a large grass area so we can being a ball and they can run about.
The kids really like going when they can. Lots of activities and sport teams they can join. At times they are able to get after school homework help there. Handicapped accessible, free parking.
If you want to play some soccer with your friends or alone, just go there its really fun, but be careful somedays the field is occupied
What a great recreation center, clean and very well run.
Beautiful and open space
First time here for me. Medium sized community park, good amenities, very functional. Easily handled our group, and lots of others. Ill happily return.
We have lived in Allied Gardens area for a little over a year now. So my family has been loving it. The park here is very nice. Very well maintained. Love taking walks here with my son, especially for some good Pokemon Go exploring.

Huge park with giant green space, walking path, trees, play ground, community building and bathroom with plumbing. The park is nestled in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Its easy to drive here and there are plenty of free parking spaces, or you can park on the adjacent street. The park is clean, and it seems that people respect the area and dont litter.

Great cause its close but I talk to people here that grew up here back in the 80s and they say the park hasnt changed a bit. Theyre talking about the equipment. Thats ridiculous considering the taxes this community pays.

This facility has a wide range of sporting opportunities for all to enjoy. Sense my daughter moved into the area we have been visiting this recreational park and has me us very happy.
Recreation Center is a neighborhood park, where many personal memories are found among the fine facilities here.Picnic tables, playground, water, restrooms sometimes open, walking paths around large lawn areas with abundant trees make this a favorite destination.
The staff here are really nice. I wish they had more free swim hours, but other than that, cant complain. The facility is clean, and its family friendly.
