I had not seen as much of St. Joseph as I had wanted the day before (it was Sunday and everything was closed) I drove back from the park where I stayed. I called their number and the owner, very personable, gave me the address and a good time to come. He and his mechanic had the pump replaced in just a little over an hour. I loved their workshop, and they let me know exactly what was happening. The two worked together intensively to trouble-shoot the unusual and hard-to-work-on Airstream Interstate layout. Make sure you use a GPS to find the place. It is a small operation, but clearly his customers are satisfied. The pump works perfectly and being able to get it repaired so quickly made a huge difference to the rest of my trip. He also recommended a vet to take my dog to (see review for Twin Pines).

This park is misnamed. Holcolm is more a sports complex. There is a gym with a weight room, a…read moremeeting room and a basketball court. They also have ping pong tables. This building is highly trafficked and is always buzzing. In addition to the gym, Holcolm houses several softball diamonds, a skateboard park, sand volleyball and several pavilions for meetings and grilling. Lawrence Parks and Recreation department also hosts classes here on occasion. I always think of this park differently than the other parks in town because of the sports aspect. During the spring and summer months this park is rocking. The softball diamonds are packed with people. Holcolm hosts a number of leagues and it's teaming with people. The facilities at Holcolm are always clean and well maintained. Staff does a great job at keeping this place running smoothly, too. Staff has always been nice and helpful. There are also several large lots so parking is a breeze. There are no metered parking spaces- it's all free. I am sure there is a fee for the softball leagues but there are no fees for the volleyball, basketball or weightlifting. This is quite an enjoyable venue. Lawrence is lucky to have this facility and grounds.

We visited the Blue Valley Rec Center for the first time a few weeks ago for a friend's child's…read morebirthday party. When I first parked and walked in I noticed that the building felt a bit dated. I do think it could benefit from a bit of a facelift, but the gymnastics area where the kids played during the party (while hitting me hard with 90s nostalgia) was super fun for the kiddos and kept them entertained for the hour or two they spent playing. I found the room for the party to be clean and well set up. It's nice that it's such a big room so you can accomodate a large group. I'm not sure if you can just take kids here to play for a fee or not, but if you can it might not be a bad place to explore on a cold or rainy day to get the wiggles out!

Other regions, municipalities, and states need to pay attention. This is an exemplary model to follow.

It's modern and up to date with electronic scoreboards that you can actually see. They offer food and drinks to purchase, but it's overpriced. My daughter has a food allergy so we can't do anything that they offer for purchase bedsides the water. I think it's crazy to ask people to spend triple on items because you won't allow outside food and drinks inside. I think they should rethink the guidelines for the food and drink policy during tournaments. I understand that they want to make money, but please price items reasonably.

I would love to see these be fixed at some point and not just left untouched. It's unfortunate you have to wait sometimes hours for these machines and sometimes don't even get the chance to use it at all:(

In other words I figured it would be a sort of bleak space that smelled sort of like an old gym? Maybe the 90s gave community centers a bad reputation? At any rate the Merriam Community Center is modern and absolutely the future of these kind of multi-use spaces realized. Everything from the parking garage to the community art was well thought out and welcoming. I was kind of in awe at how great this space was. I noticed there was a brand new library nearby as well and made a note to return as if it's anything like this new space it's probably great as well.

Their pool area seems pretty great as well, though I haven't used it myself.
