I searched in yelp and couldn't find anything, but as I drove near my parents home I spotted this park. I know that Salinas has a few sunny days during the year, and a park doesn't really sound like a place to be on those overcast days, but for those particularly nice days or for those who don't mind the cold. I was so lucky to have found this location. There is so much this place has to offer, you have a section just for toddlers and another for school age children. Large grass area where kids come and play ball. It's located next to an elementary school and the area is really nice and calm, not too much car traffic. My son had a wonderful time here. This is going to be his park to go to when visiting his grampies :)

Very nice location with six courts. No waiting unless you're waiting for additional players. The…read morepatrons are nice and friendly. Even if they're tired and see you just pulled up for a game, they will stick around so you can have a little fun. One side of the main court is shaded by some trees, which is really nice in the Summertime. There are even bleachers on the outside of the court for spectators. This was probably designed for tennis and perhaps the school uses it as tennis and they offer it up to the community on Tues and Thurs evenings and from 9am-12pm on Saturdays and Sundays. That is supercool. Plus there is no fee to play. Some community centers (usually indoor facilities) will charge a nominal fee to play. And if you play three times a week, this can add up quickly and put a squueze on your wallet or purse. And the majority of individuals who play are seniors who may or may not be on a fixed income.

Lots of friendly people enjoy swimming here. The water is always kept very clean. Excellent staff members. A beautiful pool to swim in. My son started swimming here when he was only 6 months old.

My first time at this aquatic center. The pool in itself is an beautiful, clean and warm. A great…read morelap pool. I went in around 640pm and the manager said it was full but we could use the last lane since no one is using it and then when the swim team is done we could move over if we like. I said as long as we get a lane I'm fine, I don't mind where the lane is located. We get there and swim team has it so we go to another lane and everyone is saying it's their lane and they don't want to share. We swim in the common area pool because the young kids swim class is done but of course lap swimming is difficult because you have a lot of people floating in front of you. So we wait until 7pm which isn't much longer so we could get a lane. The swim team lingers and some of their friends go to their lane so it's like they were reserving it so again no lap for us. I had to leave, it was a waste of time, money and changing into swim wear. In fact I think I spent more time in the the changing room than swimming. Will not be returning. If the manager would have said no lane is open we wouldn't have even gone in, very misleading. Overly crowded. It's a great pool for the young but for an adult who is busy and wants a work out I would go somewhere else.

Absolutely amazing . I would absolutely without hesitation recommend this gym to anyone. I had…read morenothing less of an amazing experience since my granddaughter has been attending. The coaching staff are like older siblings to the students . Very friendly. There's a reason why (in my opinion) that Rising Star Gymnastics is the BEST gymnastics gym in the County. It shows when they are in competition season . I've yet to see to many other gyms sweep the podium like this gym. But that just goes to show you the level of training that the coaching staff provides to their gymnast's . You can't go wrong with this gym. They are definitely turning out "Rising Star's

When I visited this was not an actual class and more of an unstructured open gym. There are instructors there that could help spot if needed, but they seem to be there more for general safety/liability instead of coaching. Overall $30 is a bit much for just an open gym.

There are garbage cans everywhere so there's NO EXCUSE for people to litter!! I've never checked out the back side with the playground equipment.....

There's almost always people around and the town itself is picturesque. I think you can reserve the main BBQ area but I've never really looked into it All in all definitely a decent park worth a visit

The poise, grace and confidence that my daughter is partially due to her experiences here. The staff has always been more than helpful and the owner is a wonderful instructor, director and roll model for all that have the pleasure of meeting her. I have never seen or heard of any incidents of "laying hands", as reported by another yelper, in all of the years my daughter has been studying there. The owner and her staff go above and beyond to keep the children safe while in their care for classes. If anything the owner and staff have the patience of saints when dealing with occationally fussy children and more often than not difficult parents.

For the younger ages, parents are not allowed to be in the room to avoid distraction. Once in a while they will let the parents in to observe the last 15 minutes of class. The first time I was able to observe, my daughter was very distracted with all the parents watching. Makes sense why parents should not be present. The second time I was able to observe, my daughter was more used to the routine and did a whole lot better. For Mother's Day, they allowed the moms to take the class with the students. That was super cute Both owners have been super nice. You can tell they love what they do. I email Them when I have questions and they respond right away. I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else.
