The park was well-maintained, and it was nice to see others relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. Kids were playing, adding to the perfect park atmosphere.

Mothers and children use the most foul language and life guards walk on by as they ignore stares from other parents to intervene. My 9 y/o was punched in the face by two bullies and not one of the four life guards standing at opposite ends of the pool saw a thing. The manager, Sarah Swanlund allowed the perpetrators to continue swimming while my son sat crying on the bench. After speaking to the boys who claimed no fault of their own and in fact blamed my much smaller, younger son of assaulting them, didn't bother asking my son for his side of the story. My son complained to me of difficulties moving his jaw and headache. I ended up taking my son to urgent care and filing a complaint with law enforcement. Mary Swanlund did nothing to protect my child and when asked to do the very least by escorting the kids off the premises, she decided to smirk and smile condescendingly, blinking her eyes without saying a word. As we were leaving, I did see the two boys laughing at my son still crying and talking about how annoyed they were that my son wanted to play with them.

Our youngest, he said not yet, to wait another year for her. He could have said yes sign them both up, just for the money but he didn't. This helped me trust him in the beginning. A year and a half later, my husband, daughter and I have all joined my son on the mat. Why? Because this is a welcoming family environment that we get to be apart of. Ferny goes above and beyond not only for the kids, but the whole family with different events throughout the whole year. My son is coming up on 2 years of being there and I can already see a difference in his confidence. It's always free to try for your children or yourself.

This review took some time to complete as this was my son's first baseball clinic and I wanted him…read moreto participatein some others around town so I wouldhave somethingto compare it to. Overall he felt he didn't get a lot out of it. The other kids were very unsportsmanlike, often putting him down. He had decided this is the sport he wanted to hone in on and after a year and a half of not playing due to a global pandemic, he was definitely rusty but was hopefulto get back into the game. My son came home feeling very defeated over being put down by the other kids every single day he was there. When asked what the adults in charge did about it after he made them aware of the behavior, he said "well ... nothing". When running camps such as these one of the expectations I have as a parent is that the kids be encouraging, but sadly this was not the case. At the end of the clinic, my son asked how he would receive his evaluation since he wanted to work on any areas of improvement with his dad. The coach said "check the email for which you signed up." Interesting because I paid via venmo and reached out to sign him up through text as instructed. So it's almost August and never got the evaluation as advertised. I'd like to give BBA another try at some point but it would be helpful if they would work on the attitude and behavior of their players and follow through on delivery of services as advertised. At this point I'd spend my $100 elsewhere.

The pool is large and clean - the absolute priority when it comes to pools! But the best part is that it's nicely landscaped with plenty of seating areas and picnic spots. It's very much like a resort pool. I used to come here frequently with friends and it was never crowded. Most of the patrons were elderly couples (swimming in the mornings) or young family's during the day. No riff-raff or rowdy folks. There is security here often, which is nice. It keeps things under control. No alcohol or glass is allowed. So follow the rules and enjoy the pool and spa!
