The venue is very nice with lots of seating and a nice raised stage for the author and interviewer to have their discussion. Just outside is a large parking lot, so finding a spot was not an issue. For the two events I've been to here, they actually give you a free copy of the authors latest book. The only thing I would suggest to them is that when the crowds are large to try and set up the signing line a little better. Overall, though, a very nice venue and a great organization

I am so happy that we found this as my daughter's first pre-school. I almost can't believe how affordable it is for the quality. And the hours are nice and long 9-1. UPDATE: One thing to note is that parents are NOT allowed on the premises ....so if your child has any separation anxiety, the parent may be allowed to stay for 15 minutes or so (maybe 30?) at drop off, but not more. In the end, this is why we had to leave.

A mandatory conference led me to the Costa Mesa Neighborhood Community Center. So far as community…read morecenters go, this one was very good. It is a large center flanked by a nice community park. The conference room was large, well-equipped, and the audio visual equipment was excellent. Several clip on and handheld microphones were available, and they actually worked. The speaker system was also good. The speakers were clear and loud enough to reach attendees in the back. The rest of the facility, including the restrooms, were clean and up to date. I came in contact with a few staff members, and they were very friendly. If you ever find yourself attending or presenting material at the Costa Mesa Neighborhood Community Center, you will enjoy yourself.

I came across the newport civic center park art installment on tik tok and had to visit! This outdoor muesum is actually such a fun experience to do with little ones and as a date idea. The park shares its parking with the Newport Beach Public Library! Which i will say is worth a visit while youre there! The library is massive and super clean! Back to the park, its a fairly easily walk, the whole thing took us approximately 20/25 mins slow paced to walk. Located within the park are dog parks for both small and large dogs (separate). Overall we loved the experience, our favorite were the bunnyhenge statues and the open heart and balloon statue!

tl,dr: nice new pickleball area…read more Likes: + Fresh new pickleball center. 6 open-play, 2 private courts. + The pickleball courts are pristine and fresh. Lines clearly drawn. + Lots of fencing around each court, highly reducing ball-on interferences. + Water refill station right by the courts. Pretty big parking lot. The restroom is accessible inside the Community Center during their business hours. Non-likes: - Not a lot of people come here for pick-up pickleball games. You likely have to bring your own people. Others bring their own people for private play or coaching. If you're lucky, you might find nice people there who'll let you join in. - It's near the beach, so strong breezes should be no surprise to you. Despite the wind tarps layered all along the surrounding fence, gusts still definitely affect gameplay. The day I went, there was a boxing tournament inside the Community Center, so parking was PACKED. Struggled to find parking for 10 minutes. What's worse is the other side park prohibits parking there for pickleball players. However, I just got off the phone with an associate who said that this was actually a rare event, and that normally parking is pretty open.

Their Teen Center is awesome for middle school and high school kids to hang out after school. (Pinball machine? VR headsets? Yes!) They also offer free events and excursions at low cost for the teens throughout the year. There is a small daycare facility as well, The Child's Pace with super sweet staff. I believe it's sliding scale and not affiliated with the city, but definitely an affordable option for daycare and after school programming for younger kids. The gymnasium is well maintained and offer pickleball in the mornings, basketball for adults and youth during the day. Clean bathrooms, super helpful staff.. definitely a hidden gym!
