Ugh. Well I was so excited after great summer camps, especially the gymnastics camps with Coach…read moreLauren and Coach Presley, to get my kids going into gymnastics classes as it was closer and more convenient than Cedar Hills. I was also excited for my daughter to do Ballet here, as she had done Daddy Daughter ballet with Mr. B here and loved it. Well let me tell you what a waste of money and time. The classes don't start or end on time. We have a class that is scheduled for 45 minutes and usually get from 30-35 minutes IN class with instruction. That's not okay. EspThere is no consistency and I called and left Ann Satterfield, the program coordinator, a message three times (including today,) and she never got back to me. The gymnastics program director is Coach Lauren and she did call me back and still the issues persist with the gymnastics classes despite her intervention. I guess summer camps and the playground here is all that GH is good for. Ann used to be at Conestoga, where I had loads of issues with horrible staff, and now that she is here it's happening. Maybe it's her that is the root of the problem because she certainly isn't part of the solution. 3 weeks later and no credit or contact from Ann or Catherine. Guess the integrity is as good as the classes here. Don't waste your time and efforts here!

Garden Home is my community, and it's convenient to be so close to a great fitness facility that…read moreoffers a great variety of fitness programs for all ages and at great prices. My go to is the weight/cardio room, and their fitness room has everything you need to get that balanced workout. They also have dance/studios where the classes are held (I.e. Zumba, Pilates, Cardio circuit strength training, Tai Chi, aerobics, yoga). I bought the deluxe pass that gives me access to all fitness programs and drop in classes at this location and all other Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation Center locations, which includes swimming, too. They also have a locker room for day use, showering and a stretching area in the same vicinity.

Four months after I purchased my condo at Tanglewood and put one year of my HOA dues into my…read moreaccount, Mountain Park turned me over to their attorney for collections over $276 club membership that I didn't know was required and was missed by the real estate professionals during our transaction. when I connected to Mountain Park, they told me I had to pay their lawyer/collections agency. The $276 bill had a ledger filled with false charges and just months later was $3635 Their attorney told me if I didn't pay they would increase it by hundreds of dollars every day and they would foreclose on my home which they were already legally entitled to do. Mountain Park HOA is overseen by the same attorney at Tanglewood. This law firm routinely has a business model of going after the homeowners they represent and foreclosing on their homes. In my case, a $276 bill was falsely escalated to nearly $3700 which does not include the court fees and other expenses I incurred in trying to figure this out. Although mountain Park knew it was an innocent mistake, they refused to allow me to pay them and work with me directly. They knew just how much the attorney was charging me, and had no compunction in moving forward with a lawsuit to take my home. Further, they have done this two dozens of people in the last 10 years. It is my sentiment that the mountain park HOA should be disbanded/dissolved by the owners, and the land and clubhouse donated to the city for tax break for the residents here. The attorney over this HOA would not want this to happen because these HOA's are their stocked pond. They specifically target people who own their homes, and have no way to fight them--low income. My housing experience here has been utterly cruel and in no way does it reflect fair housing. HOAs don't have a great deal of regulation in Oregon and so they get away with things like this. Also, my neighbors, aren't aware of what they did to me--so now you know. At a minimum, an exclusive club would send you an orientation, or maybe even leave a nice welcome basket at your front door, they would be polite when you called them, and they would work with you. Instead, they showed me the utmost cruelty and put me in a dire financial situation--as intended. Let's contact the city manager and ask them to help us donate the land. (503) 635-0215

This review is only for the Tennis facility and classes, even though I know this entire recreation…read morecenter offers a variety of other activities for both children and adults. So for myself, and for health benefits, this past spring and summer I decided to start taking tennis lessons. This was to add a change to my cardio regime. Plus, I haven't played tennis in over ten years. Here's a few information: * General Facilities & Parking Lot * First of all, the campus is fairly huge. And they appear to offer everything from swimming, to tennis obviously, league sports like softball for adults, and soccer/football/lacrosse for kids. They even provide maps for certain walking trails. The parking lot accommodates mainly for the aquatics center and tennis courts. But I've yet to run into an issue with parking close to the tennis facility and softball fields. Plenty of spaces, but I'd say more crowded closer to the aquatic side. Lots of kids taking swim classes. * Babette Horenstein Tennis Center * Did I mention this facility is huge? Yeah, there's a good amount of courts. I believe about twelve in total, maybe more. The cool part is, six are indooor and six are outdoor. The indoor courts are well ventilated for the most part, but can get real hot during the summertime. As for the outdoor courts, they seasonally set up a green tent during the fall and winter, but remove it around springtime and summer. You can reserve a court, but they've got various rates. Primarily depending on your purpose (yes pickleball players are allowed), your place of residency, and a time of day. I will admit, it can be hard to reserve a court due to its popularity. * Tennis Instructors * Thus far I've had the two Brian's, a Bill, and a few others. So far so good as all of them have been excellent teachers of the game. Very knowledgeable instructors. From area positioning, to racquet grip holding, to hitting routine and feeling, it's those little tweaks and adjustments here and there that really help. They make the classes worth it! Well, that just about sums it up! Just note that local residents receive more of the benefits versus folks like myself that live "out of district." Like priority sign-ups if you're looking for a class. Regardless, I still find myself taking advantage of what they have to offer.

This used to be a great place. Just about everyone liked me. There were some trouble makers and…read moreunknown to me, they were related to staff and management. Some of the lifeguards and management didn't like me for asking them to be more safety minded when we were performing gymnastic diving. Instead, retaliation, defamation, character assassination, everything to make all the people that like me to turn against me. THPRD is not supposed to be in the business of Destroying People. It does so in a very dangerous and low life way. it uses 'hit men', staff members from somewhere else, or friends, or acquaintance to cause trouble and sabotage people's reputation in real time. THPRD needs to close down it's management team and get all new mission, not to break from the honor code like it is now breaking, and to not lie about being all inclusive when it's a party club and if you don't fit in and stay quiet, you're out and personally attacked by staff and management. Dangerous place. Do NOT go to THPRD. Did so for ten years, it is slowly crumbling to death. Get out while you can. It's too late once they get you.

I discovered the Community at the Marquis Tualatin because I am part of a group that used to meet…read morethere. I really liked the space and what it has to offer for "non-residents" like myself. I obtained a gym membership. (I get a discount through my health insurance and chose the Marquis Community over other gyms that offer more classes but do not have a salt-water pool). I was initially very excited about the salt-water pool and gym. However... The Marquis does not list their fitness classes or pool schedule on-line. I went to their website and looked for information. I filled out a "Contact Us" form. (It went no where. Perhaps a glitch but this has happened to me a few times.) The definition of a "senior" or "uniquely-abled person" is we may have limitations. How do I know which services, classes, gym schedule, pool schedule I wish to access if I cannot locate the information? I should not have to get a ride to the Marquis in order to obtain a schedule or program information in order to plan my day, week, month. On the positive side, the salt-water pool is amazing. The gym has some nice equipment and is clean. The locker room is accessible. The rest of the Marquis (fireplace, puzzle/books in the lobby, coffee bar, seated areas) is a pleasant place to spend time. I just wish I had a schedule! Please post on-line, create a link for up-to-date schedules, anything that would make your community more welcoming to those of us that do not live there.

I attended the 5th Annual Beaverton Bash at West Hills Racquet Club. It was my first foray into…read morepickleball tournaments. The experience was just okay. It wasn't as grand as other sporting events I've been to at other clubs. I'm glad I went though. The pickleball courts were outdoors. And of course, the weather played a factor. At times, it got windy, which blew a little bit of debris on the court, or knock the ball out of bounds. We got sprinkled on briefly. We had 6 courts to use, 4 were nice. Of course, my first match was on a temporary court that shares lines with a tennis court. It was hard to see the pickleball lines because it was a faded color that blended into the tennis court. A fellow competitor mentioned that for the first 6 points, she kept using the white tennis lines, and that was out of bounds. The tournament experience was good, even though I lost all 4 of my matches. I still felt good that I competed in singles against much younger women, just shy of my 65th birthday. A couple matches were fairly close. I would totally enter another singles tournament, just not on outdoor courts!

Let's start with the negative:…read more AC and heat are the only thing bringing down my review. It's often too hot because the AC isn't cool enough, or too cold because of the heat. And sometimes too hot from the heat when it's cold out. So temperature control is a negative. My other negative is when you take classes, or have your kids in classes there, you can't choose the teacher. I totally get that they don't want people basing enrollment on a teacher, but for things like gymnastics and dance, teachers spend the first few weeks JUST assessing kids for their ability and skill level. That wouldn't be necessary if they knew the kids already. So please allow us to choose teachers!! The positive: even though we can't choose teachers, we have NEVER had a bad teacher for the kids. My daughter had been taking classes here for a year now and we have loved them all. Every teacher genuinely cares for the kids and my kids have had a blast. I love being able to do gymnastics and dance here without the super competitive nature that the academies push. I LOVE the playground here. It's amazing. So much fun for big and little kids alike. They do have separate toddler and "big kid" play structures, but no one really minds which is which. The kids just play! I LOVE THPRD and Cedar Hills Rec. Definitely have a great set of people here!
