A big thank you to Andreas and everyone involved!

JUMBO SUPER DUPER park and rec center.... There's so much to do and enjoy... I feel bad I don't…read morestop by more unless there's a food truck favorite nearby. There's plenty of shade as well as wide open spaces for sun. There is a homeless population here, but they are pretty cluster in one place usually near the chess tables near the recreation center building. The park extends down a huge block and breaks up extending from Chandler to Riverside Drive all the way down Tujunga Ave alongside the 170 Fwy. A great place for families, friends, kids and everyone really. They've held some community events here... Even a small Lgbtq+ pride celebration in the past. While street parking goes fast there are some small lots if you plan out your day early. A lot of people walk their dogs and through the ball here... plenty of nature to enjoy and take in.... I haven't taken any classes at this location, but might consider signing up for activities when restrictions are fully lifted.

Where do I begin...For background info, I've been a regular- occasional tennis player at these…read morecourts and generally know of the people around here. Pros: -Good number of courts. Six courts and they are all lighted!! -Courts aren't totally trashed. May find abandoned tennis metal lids, leftover snacks, and a trail of ants near the benches but get cleaned at some point. -Useable filtered water fountain that has come in handy during hot days -I've been safe. There are homeless in daytime but they do gather around and prowl at night. On a random night, I played here close to midnight- 2am and I wasn't bothered. Cons: -Super long wait times to get a court -a lot of homeless. I've never been harmed or too bothered. I've had a few flashes of unclothed people. -The ambiance can be a bit whack depending on the type of people around. You've got normal people just wanting to play tennis, old folks that play here all the time and want to coach you, coaches expecting you to leave the court mid-game so they can do their private lessons (which is not allowed because I called the city and coaches need a permit to hold lessons here! Only 1 coach has a permit and he's at the last court, always). Players who yell, cuss, and play explicit loud music on their speaker... -Real world vibe. I've had a few arguments at these courts too which has caused me to not come as much/ call the city. I normally keep to myself and only come here to practice by myself since it's most convenient.

Such a great experience from start to finish!…read more First off, love that there's parking available--huge plus in this area. My girlfriends and I walked in and instantly loved the vibe. The space is super clean, cute, and welcoming. Everyone we encountered, including the people working out, was friendly and helpful. The front desk staff walked us to our class and introduced us to one of the trainers, Malik (who was AMAZING!). We instantly felt comfortable and at ease. The trainers helped us wrap up and guided us through everything. The class itself was challenging, but the energy and motivation from the trainers kept us going--and we felt incredible by the end! They were patient and made sure we had the right technique, especially since it was the first boxing class for one of my friends. We genuinely had such a good time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend checking this place out! Bonus points for the women's bathroom--it was super clean, stocked with feminine products, and had lockers. Love the attention to detail!

UPDATE - FRAUD WARNING When we were researching basketball…read moreteams for our son, joining an AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) affiliated team was a top priority. The head coach fraudulently misrepresented that his was an AAU program. He enticed us and took our money, charging us for a full season up-front, then immediately dropped our son's team from participating in any games, when we started to question the "league games" that consisted of primarily playing against the same one or two teams. There are plenty of legit teams around. AVOID THIS FRAUDULENT ONE AT ALL COSTS, and spread the word. (See attached email pics) --- ORIGINAL REVIEW: BUYER BEWARE A short while after our kid had joined the Warriors team and played some games and scrimmages, we realized they had played multiple times against the same, much more advanced team, losing by 20-30 points each game. Other AAU teams make it a point not to play the same team twice, we have since learned. It is a big league, after all. After hearing numerous parent and child complaints about this one day, I emailed the coach, asking if the Warriors had plans to play against more evenly matched teams--or ANY other teams, stating also, "I agree winning shouldn't be the main focus, but I also know our child is not the only player who is disheartened, losing by so many points every game. It's just not an even match with that particular team." The head coach, Conrad, responded by canceling all our child's games "until further notice", and refused us even a partial refund. Then he claimed that all we cared about was winning (not true at all). He also falsely claimed that we had major concerns about our son's playing time, when we had never remotely raised any such concern. Despite being given multiple chances to do the right thing, clearly head coach Conrad was reaching for excuses to justify his operating in bad faith. What child would want to practice on a summer team that doesn't play any games--especially after having previously participated in the games? When I suggested the coach should take accountability for putting our child in a position to want to search for another team to join, he instead deflected and completely distorted the facts of the situation, and hid behind a "no refunds" policy. So be it, but the community should be warned. We did not press the coach for a refund for the team jersey once he stated his policy; however we felt that it was ethically questionable to discontinue our child's games shortly after charging us $100 for a uniform--and not to offer any partial refund for unused future practice time in good faith, despite HIS decision to cancel the games on our child. We did share what the consequences would be, if our request for a partial refund was denied, for unused practice time starting after Conrad canceled our child's team. When Conrad failed to respond, we eventually had to put a deadline on the response before taking this public. As stated above, there were multiple chances for this coach to do the right thing. We have been involved in many sports with different coaches, and this is the first time our child has ever reported feeling that the coach's style was abusive--specifically the head coach. There were times during practice when our child asked what he had gotten wrong during a drill, and, instead of teaching or correcting our child--the coach just screamed at our child to go to the back of the line. We also witnessed another child fall and slam his head against the concrete block wall of the gymnasium one time, crying afterwards--with very little, if any, concern shown by the coach. Avoid this basketball club. It is not well organized and the communication with parents is poor. The head coach does not embody the values he claims to impart on young, impressionable students of the game. He'll gladly take your money when the team is clearly maxed out beyond reasonable capacity, and won't think twice about kicking your kid to the curb, if you raise a simple concern.
