Meh ... great pool space and attendants although not for littles in any sort of independent way…read more(of course with them, but no place for them to be safe in super shallows with you). Locker rooms are gross and lockers are expensive and often broken anyway. Don't bother. Exercise facilities ... ok if you don't need any space to do anything and can rely on machines for your workout, and need no room to really do free weights. Stretching? Hah ... good luck. If there are more than two people trying to do anything you'll have to toss a coin for navigating the space. Also why does everyone think it's ok to stand in the stairwell and have a catch up conversation as loud as outside voices? Or converse on the phone while working out?! Track is nice. Gym space is beautiful but always filled with school groups as the schools don't have enough spaces (yay for the comm center supporting local schools but also why are they not supporting their own activities?) Staff at desk has been consistently rude or at a minimum seem annoyed you're there. I don't go anymore unless the grandkids are visiting and the weather is too sucky for beach time. It's just ... meh.

I am going to quote something you will find on the CCCC website when seeking further information…read more "CCCC provides a safe, nurturing environment where children are encouraged to be independent and to learn their full capabilities. Because of our low staff turnover and appropriate child/teacher ratios, we are able to pay attention to the individual needs and development of each child." This is not true, the center told me that they do not have low child/teacher ratios, therefore are unable to give attention to my child's individual needs. They also agreed to work with my husband and I with our child's needs only to less than 24 hours later turn around and kick him out of the center. So there is a lot of deceit involved. However being asked to leave because the staff, which "are not properly trained to give attention to my child's needs" as I was told, was not the issue here, the issue was the lying involved. After being more than willing to work with the center and change my child's schedule at home to cater to the center's needs, and comfort, as well as asking how I could help at the center (to which I received a response of "I do not know") I, in a very upfront manner asked, so you would like my child to stop coming here to your center? I was told no that was not it, that we could move him down to less days, that they would have someone come in and help my child, that they wanted to work with us, that they wanted what was best for my child. This however was also untrue, as I was asked to stop bringing my child to the center. I do not consider this professionalism at all, there was opportunity to be honest, instead of handling this situation in this, unprofessional manner. It is ironic because the week my child was kicked out I had asked (monday and tuesday) how he was doing and if his behavior was an issue or if he had been doing anything that he had gotten into trouble for. His teacher told me No, that he had a good day, BOTH of those days, then in a matter of three days I was told the complete opposite, called in thrusday to have a meeting, lied to; then asked to come and get him friday, when he was kicked out, due to his needs, with the excuse that he was being too demanding for the CCCC (lancaster) staff; in addition to honesty not being a priority in the centers staff - parent relationship. This really is unfortunate, I would NOT recommend bringing your child here at all, I would recommend looking elsewhere to fulfill your child's (care) needs.

The Lancaster Center, unfortunately, does not follow proper procedures regarding sanitation. Toys…read moreare sprayed rather than washed and sprayed. At least 80% of the children in the Pre-K room were ill. There is also an Ant infestation near the cubby area, which employees knowingly place the children's clothing and personal items in. After many requests regarding sending in pest control, suggestions of properly sanitizating as well as bully concerns not being properly addressed I withdrew my child. The center is also known to overcharge as well.

Fantastic place to bring kids up to 5 years old on a rainy day in McMinnville…read more We're visiting from out of town and we aren't used to all this rainy Oregon weather. So we tried to go to the other indoor playground, but they were closed. We were loitering in the parking lot and I asked a mom if there was any other place we could go. She suggested the Community Center and she took off super quick; I think she suspicioned that I was hitting on her. Anyway, we came here to find a friendly statue of Abraham Lincoln on a welcoming bench. Then we went inside to find friendly customer service at the front desk. It seems they have a lot of other facilities in the building, but we were there just for the toddlers playroom. It's for kids up to 5 years old. They welcomed us for our one-year-old and also let in our 6-year-old as long as she respected the other kids and the toys. It's a small fee for all-day use, with come-and-go privileges. They have a bunch of different kinds of toys that are best suited for kids 5 years or less. They have cooking sets, baby sets, toy cars and ride-in cars, balls, play mats, a couple small play structures, and small book shelf. There is a diaper changing table with wipes, bags for dirty diapers, and trash cans. One room has a tiled floor where people can eat snacks. The other, connected room is carpeted with no food allowed. Extra wipes are there for parents to clean toys after use. It seemed like the other clientele were regulars. They were nice enough and outgoing at times. I highly recommend this place on rainy days for locals and visitors alike. I'm sure there are bathrooms, but we didn't check them out. Limited off-street parking on all sides of the building, plus limited free parking on the street. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

It is very clean and the restrooms are clean. The Center sponsors great workshops, events, and is part of the Springfield Art Walk so I appreciate all the hard work of the employees and volunteers. The only problem are the 3 or so core regulars who I think actually live in the park that are inside the Center everyday/allday. One guy is always spouting off at the top of his lungs about "Jesus, blah, blah, blah" while the other guy with a junk filled shopping cart is an expert on the FBI, CIA, an Army Ranger, knows about China, Russia, & cloning. The only thing he doesn't know about is getting a job so he will have something to do. These men talk so loud they disrupt the entire room and no one shuts them up so if you want to work on your laptop or read a book or even visit then you have to put up this these guys. I finally quit going.

Highly recommend scheduling a tour or wildlife encounter!…read more On our "wildlife encounter tour," we got to meet the amazing birds of prey (including getting face to face with a lovely little snow white barn owl) this organization is taking care of. I learned so much and was mesmerized by the birds. The Chimintini Wildlife Center is doing amazing work for all sorts of species of wild animals in the area, and by booking a tour you're not only signing up for an awesome experience and expanding your knowledge of these critical birds, but you're supporting the center's work caring for these birds and many more species that may come into the center. All the birds taken care of here are injured or otherwise wouldn't be able to survive in the wild, so the center uses them for educational tours.
