We were so impressed they have a indoor hockey rink for everyone but what impressed us was this young man around 15years old waiting for his friends to play hockey !he said it's so nice we come here to stay out of trouble!

Everyone was having a great time and getting along !!!This is how it should be We have met a lot of different people with the same mindset as us !!The only bad part is it closes the pools August 15 !!!can't wait for next summer God Bless Debbie Lopian

I wanted to write along review, but I'm an emotional rec right now…read more This Center is mostly used by older folks and is hidden away in the back of Cheektowaga Town Park. It's a pretty modern facility but it has nothing on the nearby YMCA where I go. I think quite a few Cheektowaga residents don't even know it exists. And one of the guys who comes here had the cheek-to-walk-out on me while I was talking to him.

Kunz Stadium has become an improved facility in the last few years. Having spent my undergrad and…read moregrad years at UB, both as a member of the marching band and then as the Graduate Assistant, I can attest that this field was once a pain in the butt to use. More recently, the university invested money to install permanent stadium lighting here which has been a huge improvement from the mid-2000's when we had to bring in our own flood lights to use the facility at night. Though this field is a great facility for the marching band, it's also been great for club sport practices and individuals looking to use the track (or bleacher stairs) for a workout. The stadium lights are turned off at 10 or 10:30pm nightly and you really don't want to be there when the switch is flipped. It is pitch dark there which lends itself to both being scary and unsafe. If you're looking for a safe track to run, this is a great facility. I believe reserving the field itself is for UB affiliates only but walking or running the track is possible at really any time. Note also that there are 2 super nasty port-a-potties on premises if you do need to use a toilet while here.

But it also holds various outside sporting events, bringing people to Downtown Buffalo, which is great. The locker rooms are large and easy to use. As a spectator the facility is very user friendly. Parking can be found in various lots in the area.

If you're looking for the filthiest locker room ever, look no further. The BFAC by far has the most…read moreunclean locker room ever. Inside lockers are always dirty, shower area is full of bugs, hair, grime, and toilet-paper wads smooshed to the ceiling and don't get me started on how much hair is left all over the sinks. Seeing as though I am a male, I can only speak on behalf of the men's locker room. Aside from the physical state of the locker room, you most likely will have to deal with Buffalo school kids who use the pools. Most of the time they are in the locker room when I am not, but when we are both in together, chaos. Onto the weight and cardio rooms themselves. They're just okay. On the smaller side, but I understand they're working with limited space. One of the rougher things in when there's more than 6 people in the weight room, it feels cramped and you often find yourself on a machine/area waiting for someone to finish in a machine/area you want to use. On to the track. When I hear the word "track" I think of an outdoor track around a soccer/football field. Seeing as though the track is indoors, my mind was left to wonder on what it could be like. I was thinking maybe around the basketball court or something. Turns out it's on a top floor and looks down onto the court. Not terrible, just not what I expected. Lastly, but perhaps the most frustrating issue I have with this gym- the attendants and security are never on time to open the building/weight & cardio rooms. It puts a real damper on things when you only have a small window to workout in. All in all, the gym is I guess *fine* and serves its purpose as best as it can. Out of a perfect 10, I'd give this gym a solid 4.

But actually, I'm going to give this place a very solid 5/5 rating, because it's a paradise of soccer! There are about 20 fields, it seems! Some super large ones, some medium ones, and some tiny ones! And I like the grass here too. I like knowing I'm right in the middle of an Island surrounded by rushing rivers and close to the lovely Niagara Falls. I like a lot of the teams that play here, and a lot of the girls that play on the mixed teams with me here (sorry, lol, but I do). Grand Island girls, Amherst girls, awesome. Most of the soccer fields scored a 3 for the bad ones and a 4 for the good ones, but for being such an awesome amalgamation of different types of soccer fields and having so many awesome teams here, I'm going to generously give Veteran's Park a 5 star rating. It deserves it. So there.

He's learned a bunch of new skills and tricks, and had a blast at the second week long session of their summer camp this year. Being in Delaware Park on Ring Road is really nice, with the only downside of course being that parking can be tricky sometimes, so you definitely need to be strategic for weekend games. Having DSC as a safe outdoor activity for him to get out and play during COVID has been a life saver.

It's a super cool location for the DSC, right next door to the best and most rowdy Soccer Pub in the region - Mes Que. Nowhere else in Buffalo or Rochester has the same level of soccer interest and masses of soccer fans coming in and out of this block every Saturday and Sunday for the matches shown there. So DSC is getting quite a lot of interest, and it's helping them move some of their cool but slightly overpriced soccer items for sale. I fully support them, though, and any other grass roots soccer organizations in this country.

It serves children in the area of Buffalo, and many of them are very clearly talented. Apparently, this group has been around since 1959 and the league offers a whole range of programs for children of different ages and skill levels. They have Tee Ball, baseball, softball, camps, participate in tournaments and also organize events. And the league has also enjoyed competitive success over the years, winning New York State Little League championships, including state titles in the past. Also, the park for their game play has several fields and a concession stand with pretty good burgers, hot dogs and nachos. They also have soda and water on site and are pup friendly. Family fun all around -- and a bit of competition.
