They offer a free introductory session so that they can gauge what skill level your child is coming in at. Group sessions aren't overfilled and are well staffed. Additional staff also monitor the pools from the sides. Private sessions usually have a waitlist, but worth doing if your child needs additional sensory, ADHD or autism accommodations. Check-in is easy, the premises are clean, restrooms, showers and changing rooms are all well maintained, and as you walk in they have that lovely steamy chlorinated smell most of us know from the leisure centres of our childhoods. Huge fan of this Mandarin location, highly recommend.

Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite, are only $25 and come out to $28.16 per person with the processing fee added. Once registered, the owner sends a long list of parking instructions and dos and don'ts regarding what to and not to bring to keep her animals safe. I'm so glad I followed directions and didn't wear earrings because sure enough one of the goats nibbled at my ear. All of the goats were so friendly and happy to be joining the yoga class. We did the yoga part which was led by an instructor but we really came to hang out with the goats. The entire experience lasts 1 1/2 hours. The first 30 minutes is parking, signing a waiver and then getting an introduction to the property and animals there. Then yoga lasts for about 50 minutes and there is time at the end to feeds the goats. You can tell the owner is really passionate about all of her animals. She recently nursed a premature baby goat back to health and keeps her in a sweater because she has issues regulating her body temperature. This is in addition to bottle feeding her and letting her sleep in her home to make sure she's strong enough to live outside. The baby goats were so cute! It was a really cool experience and the farm is complete with a couple cats, chickens, and a pony. Highly recommend this awesome experience if you love animals and trying new things!

Beat wall available for those playing alone and a playground nearby for the kids that don't want to play on the 4 mini courts. Looks like they are in the process of resurfacing some of the existing asphalt courts which will be really nice when all finished. There are no clay courts here. I haven't heard the best of things about this neighborhood and I could kind of see why as I played this morning. There was a lot of police activity nearby and it's definitely not in the best part of town. But I felt perfectly safe being here in the morning daylight and the tennis courts themselves + the surrounding grounds were very clean and well maintained. There's a train track that runs directly next to the park and tennis complex which did disturb my game but only for a few minutes. There is a sign near the parking lot indicating times where a Tennis Pro is available and when they take their lunches but it seems to be outdated because the facility was a complete ghost town this morning. Restrooms and lockers were locked up. They could have been closed for the resurfacing or something but I'm betting they don't staff these parks anymore due to budget cuts/concerns and that's a shame! If anyone has information on the Tennis Pro situation here feel free to leave me a comment. I'll attach a photo of the sign below. Overall I was happy with the facility. It was generally very quiet other than some train noise and police sirens. I will definitely be returning here to use the beat wall and hopefully to play some matches on the newly resurfaced courts!
