My kids have done swimming lessons, youth basketball and attended birthday parties at the rec. prices are very reasonable and I encourage you to sign your kids up early because youth activities fill up fast. You can sign up at the center or online. The rec does not have an on-site swimming pool. But this is where you pay for a yearly pass to the cedar falls pool (the falls). Swimming lessons are held at Peet Junior High, Holmes Junior High or The Falls. The staff has always been helpful and pleasant. Parking can sometimes be a hassle when there are activities going on and a hundred parents are trying to get their kid there.

Title: Hostile Environment, Public Body Shaming, and Toxic Management…read more I am deeply appalled by the behavior of the staff and management at the Cedar Falls Recreation Center. Recently, an employee publicly targeted and humiliated me over a dress code policy. Instead of addressing the matter professionally, this staff member chose to shout passive-aggressive, derogatory comments across a public area filled with families, openly body-shaming me in front of other patrons. When I contacted the facility manager, Mike, to report this abusive staff behavior, his response was completely unacceptable. Instead of remaining objective or professional, Mike actively condoned the harassment. He defended his employee's public mockery and used his own toxic sarcasm to make disrespectful jokes about my personal "laundry schedule." Enforcing a policy is one thing, but allowing staff to publicly mock residents and having a manager who uses sarcasm to gaslight patrons creates a hostile and toxic environment. Mike's severe lack of conflict-resolution skills and unprofessional conduct are a massive liability for a city-operated facility. This management actively breeds a culture of bullying. Cedar Falls residents deserve a safe, respectful environment, not a management team that participates in workplace misconduct and customer harassment. Avoid this facility until city administration addresses leadership.

We traveled from Wisconsin for a 4th of July youth baseball tournament at the Dubuque Sports…read moreCenter. The fields are situated at the dead end of a steep, narrow road that leads you to believe this can't be the correct way, right up until it opens up to the facility. There is a large gravel parking lot, but it is laid out very tight making it a bit of a squeeze for everyone to safely get in/out as one set of games concludes and the next begins. There are five fields with all sand infield surfaces. The artificial pitching mounds are rather on the small side. One of the fields is laid out toward a hill and the steep hill is actually part of the outfield. We were on/near fields 1 & 2 all weekend. The bleachers have an aluminum roof over your head for protection from foul balls & as shade from the sun. Reasonably priced concessions and a pretty decent selection of offerings available for purchase. The grounds state "no carry ins" which is par for the course. During our two days the weather was in the high 80's with the humidity even worse. On day one several parents went back and forth to cars for bottles of water for our players and ourselves. The staff monitoring the gate throughout the day did not say a thing about this and for safety in super humid conditions it made sense you would allow your guests to carry in water. On day 2 the person monitoring the gate said "no carry ins" per the owner. There was no free water source available (that I saw at least) inside the park aside for buying it from the concession stand. I get as a business your trying to make money, but c'mon man how about using a little common sense with parents bringing in just water. For as much as I otherwise enjoyed the facility, the handling of the gate on morning two was a major turn off. (Side review: parents if traveling here for a tournament, consider staying at the nearby Best Western. They have a large pool & rec area for parents to gather. They also offer a solid complimentary breakfast to kick start the day.)

Friendly staff and 5 fields which makes it nice for tournaments. However to get there you have to…read moredrive down a fairly narrow road just wide enough for 1 car each way that is in need of repair. In 2016 my kids played fall baseball down there and none of the batting cages where working. This past summer my kids where in tournaments there and they only had 1 batting cage out of 3 working so if you wanted batting practice you would have to wait in a long line. The one year my kids played fall ball down there with their baseball teams they never stuck with the schedule that was made out. The schedule would change between 2-3 times each week and one time they tried changing everyone's schedule the morning of games. Some of us that where there for 8:00 games where told they wanted us to wait until noon for our 1st game. Fields 1-3 have good seating but if your kids are playing on fields 4 or 5 the seating sucks.

I used Adam Covington's services for my wedding. He provided me with gorgeously fresh and beautiful…read moreflowers. I made my own centerpieces (since it was Mario-themed), and he complimented them with great flowers. He delivered them well ahead of time and also was very professional with our "interesting" choice for our wedding. I think the only thing that was a bit difficult was that at times Adam can be hard to reach. Sometimes a week or so would go by and I wouldn't hear from him after I had sent a message with various questions. I won't dock his five stars though, considering he made up for it by being very professional when we did talk. I definitely recommend him for weddings.

Not only does he have an amazing eye and sense of style, he's one of the most energetic people I've ever met and won't stop until your wedding is impeccable. He's also hilarious, which makes it that much more fun to work with him. My husband and I purchased a lot of wedding decor ourselves and paid Adam and his team to set it up with other decor rented from him and I couldn't believe how he brought it all to life with his staging. He not only took the time to sit down and help me figure out how it was all going to come together more than once before the wedding, he still managed to surprise me and bring me to tears when I saw it. We also did our flowers with Adam - I had sent him a few images of flowers I liked and he managed to strike the perfect balance between all the different photos to give me the most amazing bouquets ever. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect. I've honestly looked at photos of them every day since our wedding almost three months ago. I can't say enough good things about Adam - he's beyond talented, hard-working, genuine and you get such an amazing product for the price. Work with him if you have the chance!
