I am really glad they are back and that they have a heated pool. Keeps my joints warm and moving. Yes, there is a need for some TLC but this a great spot for people to come and get moving. Swimming, Boxing, wally ball, rachet ball, hand ball and much more. Come back and discover your local Recreation Center. I have. ;)

I wanted to wait 24 hrs after to be fair. So here we are. I would be cautious if booking a party…read more It's very hard to rate because the facility is a 5 star, I don't know about the gymnastics aspect, but for having a party, it's a 0! They are new, (open about 2 months) so they are still learning, and there is quite a bit that they need to learn. My first issue, pricing. $450 for a party of 10 kids. That does not include the adults. I was planning on feeding my adults. They wanted $60 extra for the additional seating/aka bigger room (which was fine) on top of that they wanted $9 per adult, AND then the cost of the additional food for the parents!!! So that's an extra $200 for only 10 parents. Once they found out, I was not paying for the adults. They refunded my $60 back threw me in a small room and had all my adult standing along the wall. Don't ask me why they just didn't keep the $60 and provide a bigger room with seating for my parents. It didn't make any sense. If you have adults in your party, they have to stand?! Secondly, they control the entire party, which is great if that's what you're looking for. 1:You're not allowed to bring a cake, they offer cupcakes and when they sang happy birthday, they didn't even put a candle in it. SMH 2: decoration, they have two options, sports or princess, if you don't pick one of their options, then they charge you additionally 3: I ordered a popcorn machine as an add-on. The popcorn is popped while the kids are playing and they place it in bags on the table which I felt it was just there, no one cared. It would be exciting for the kids if they said popcorn time and every kid stood in line with a bag and they scoop some in their bag. 4: they give you two hosts and you have to tip both of them which a party with 10 kids does not need two hosts. In my opinion, they need to step back and let the parents feel like they have control over their child's party. All of the parents that attended my daughter's party had the same views & opinions. I thought it was gonna be a great venue and everyone would wanna have their child's party there. All of my party guests said it was a waste and they were not impressed. On a sidenote, the manager in charge (I think her name was Lauren) chased down a mother in my party because I did not pay for her for open gym. She was watching some of the girls not participating, but she had her mom sign a waiver, (which is understandable)and then proceeded to charge her $20 for watching less than 40 minutes of open gym. With how much I paid and how bad it looks on your facility. A better approach would have been to tell the girl, she didn't have a waiver signed, and they don't allow anyone to watch so have her come out of the gym. Positive experiences hardly get recognized, unfortunately negative experiences stick.

Very cool (ha) facility and good instruction. I came with a group who needed some filler people,…read morethey rented out all 5 lanes. I believe there is a $50 security deposit, then around $30 per head. Probably more information on their site or by calling but long story short that got us two hours total. Let me tell you, I'm a larger unfit man, and sweeping was physically exhausting. My heart was pounding out of my chest 30 minutes in, and I ended up having to switch out with someone else for more sweeps. This is something I caution you to take seriously if you are not in shape / well conditioned. Curling is physically exerting! I had a hard time learning to get down and slide the stone. That's part of the fun. That said they do have a pusher stick you can use. Being 6' 7" myself and having a lower back problem I used the pusher stick when it was my turn to slide the stone. Don't be shy about using it! Instead of putting one foot on a slider pad (you have gripper covers over your tennis shoes so you can walk the ice), getting down low and pushing off the stick attaches to the stone's handle. Then you just walk up to speed and give it a little shove. Word of working, most wont have this issue but I wear a 14 or 15 mens 4E (extra wide) shoe depending on the make. My default tennis shoes were too big for the grippers to fit over, I had to switch to my backup pair which are thankfully 14's and I was able to just barely able to stretch them over.

I took my guy here for his birthday. We had a lesson and then played with another group of people…read morefor about an hour and a half. The cost was $30 each and well worth it! The instructors were great- thorough and patient. This is such a unique place and curling is such a fascinating sport! Can't wait to go back!

2020-11-08 Red Oaks County Park. Madison Heights, MI…read more I've been taking my kids to this playground for years, and I think it's one that is highly underrated. Don't know why I never tried checking in on Yelp, but now that I have, I see that it's not even on the map! Tucked away behind the Red Oaks Youth Soccer Complex, the entrance to the parking lot is off of Dartmouth Street which is accessed by either John R (to the east) or 12 Mile Rd. (to the south). At the corner of John R and 12 Mi is a large plaza with a Lowe's and the new BJ's Wholesale Club. This park is located north of BJ's. The Soccer Complex is visible from John R, but the playground isn't. Being primarily a soccer complex, there is lots (and I mean plenty!) of free parking. The complex is open to the public for all to enjoy; however, priority does go to scheduled matches. There is a snack bar, but that's only open when there are scheduled events. On the backside of the snack bar is a small sheltered pavilion overlooking the playground. From the parking lot, the playground does not appear to be very large; however, it you take a walk through it, it's bigger than it appears from your car. There is also an area for athletes to warm up or train (pull ups, inclined sit ups or push ups). The park also has all the elements of a typical playground; swings, slides, monkey bars, hanging wheels (roundabouts, not merry-go-rounds), rope cargo net, balance chain and bongo bridge climbers, and the list goes on. This park is rated for kids 5-12 years old, but there is a small play structure suitable for those under 5 (see pics). The playground is never busy (at least not when we come), probably because not many are aware of it, and I really think it's one of the better ones in Madison Heights. The venue is nice and compact. Parking is literally steps away, and there's a sheltered pavilion for parents to sit and watch over their kids. If you have young'uns and you're in the area, you need to check it out! 5 stars. For now, you can check out my pics! Ooops, almost forgot to talk about COVID. Here are the particulars: They do not have modified hours Masks are required per MI DHHS Emergency Order when social distancing can't be maintained They do not provide masks They do not provide hand sanitizer Restrooms are open from 10:00 to dusk Playground is NOT sanitized daily Social distancing signs posted Pavilion has large metal picnic tables which are not sanitized daily If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company...

We decided to buy a yearly family membership for $350 that comes with 6 guest passes. I'm still trying to clarify if it's 6 guests that can come an unlimited number of times or 6 passes/guest visits only. I'm scared to share this review because it's my little getaway spot now!!

The kids have a blast at the playground, playing in the sand, and we usually end up hanging out inside for a picnic while borrowing one of the games they have available. There always seems to be a food truck around, which is a nice bonus, and the new barge serving drinks with its little seating area is such a fun addition. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Even in the winter this park is worth visiting because they have sleds available, making it fun year-round. This place keeps getting better every time we visit, and it's become one of our favorite family spots in Detroit.

Dia De Los Muertos 2024 Review:…read more A beautiful Saturday along the waterfront. Limited parking available, with a paid lot just a short walk away. There was an Ofrenda set up to pay homage to those who have passed. There were a few vendors selling crafts (think day of the dead headbands, ponchos, etc...) There was an arts and crafts table for the little and someone giving away pieces of bread. The dancers rolled out in traditional Mexican dress and danced away! If the kids lose interest, no fear- there's a playground right there! Also, so is Canada... in the distance. A nice way to experience the riverwalk in Detroit. Pro tip: there is a brewery at the end of the block! (Atwater)
