Located on the bottom floor of the Lee District REC Center, the soft play room is a cheap and easy…read moreway for kids to blow off steam on a cold winter morning. Here are the deets: + Call ahead to make sure the playroom is open since it's often reserved for parties + $5 gets admissions or one child and a parent for thirty minutes + No kids over five + There is a limit of fifteen kids in the room at once All of this sounds fine and dandy in practice but I was charged $6 for my admission. There were seven kids playing in the room at one time and I thought that if got any more busy it would be a little bit too cramped. There was no one there to regulate the playroom or sanitize which left me wondering what type of bugs I would be taking home. On the other hand, the kiddos loved playing in the ball pit, hiding behind blocks and climbing ...pretty much everywhere but they also eat dirt so they don't have the most discerning tastes. Honestly, I'd rather take her to play at Chick-fil-a where my $6 could get me some waffle fries!

Good value for some family fun in Manassas Park!…read more Pros: This is a great place for the family to go for some inexpensive exercise. Manassas Park resident adults are only $4 and that gets you access to the fitness center, gym, and pool. We also took our infant son to an Easter Egg hunt here that was extremely well organized and enjoyed by us and our family! We recently took our soon in the water here for the first time and he loved it! The beach area provided enough room for us to enjoy the water in our own space away from the other kids who were splashing and playing. They also have an eight-lane 25yd area for swimming laps. Every time I've been to the center there has been plenty of space. Cons: The family changing rooms near the pool are oddly configured. It's great that the community center has them, but four smaller rooms would've been better than two large ones (just an observation, not an expectation to rebuild!). The changing stations in family rooms do not seem stable. They indicate that they're rated to 50lbs, but we didn't feel comfortable putting our son (who is only 20lbs) on at least one of them. Four out of five for a great value family experience!

1 Star Review. Pickleball is a fun sport. So much so that I wanted to include my family in the…read moresport over our Thanksgiving break. I had called Manassas Park Community Center since we were visiting the area and had asked if it would be a problem bringing 7-10 people with me who didn't know the game- Dawn said no problem! They even have the wooden paddles, balls, nets. I thought wow- what a jackpot. We went and what a disaster. The person in charge is BONNIE- and she is very passive aggressive. BONNIE even tried to sabotage us using the facility paddles, almost getting in the middle physically so that they would not give us paddies. We had to go to the front desk for their assistance with this- as Bonnie didn't want us to use them. Even though they had around 30 paddles. BONNIE did not welcome us and got hung up on us setting up a net for three people instead of four. No one needed the court or our space- BONNIE was just being a nasty old lady. BONNIE was very cruel to my family and had such bad energy. Even the regular people that go and play pickleball said how "Everyone has their own Bonnie story". Bonnie should be ashamed of herself- this is a game that people come to have fun- not to be tortured every step of the way. We were new to this gym and very excited to come to- we didn't know all the ins and outs- but after meeting this horrible leader - we def won't be back. We asked for our money back and Dawn wouldn't refund us.

I signed up for summer camp for the week of July 4th last summer and they cancelled due to lack of…read moreinterest. They told me when summer had almost begun . They offered to move me to another week (that cost more) if I paid the difference in price (they gave a $10 credit after I complained, that's right $10). I had to scramble to get coverage for the week they cancelled. I gave them three stars despite that horrible experience because my kid seemed to have a good time.

If your kid is playing in Vienna Little League, you probably are a frequent visitor of VBC, which…read moreoffers 6 different indoor stations for hitting practice. For parents, VBC has a convenient 2nd floor gallery that provides WiFi connectivity and bird's eye view of the practice sessions below. The practice area is much more spacious than Pitcher's Edge in Vienna. VBC also offers baseball clinics (group lessons), private lessons, and summer camp programs for kids. Be sure to ask for Logan (one of the co-managers of VBC) for more information. My two sons (10 yrs, 8 yrs), who love baseball, have enjoyed the summer camp program and taking lessons here.

We just had our third but LAST birthday party at this venue. In the past we have had a great…read moreexperience but yesterday I was extremely disappointed!! We arrived and the party room smelled AWFUL- like the party before us was a full on weed party. I was stunned and freaking out. All of my closest friends with their sweet kiddos were about to arrive and we would all be stuffed in this tiny room of stench. the party host noticed right away and offered to try air freshener and I said yes and asked for the manager. The manager came over. I asked her....how can a birthday party at a venue for little children be filled with...this? I was appalled at her response. First she said, maam, weed is legal in Virginia. Ok in that case why don't we go ahead and also allow parties to serve alcohol and smoke cigarettes. THIS IS A CHILDRENS PLAY AREA! Who cares if it's legal! How is that relevant to my concern!? Then she quickly backtracked saying of course they weren't smoking in here, they must have just smoked outside and it was just on their persons when they entered. Ummmm no. The entire room REEKS. She refused to do anything for us other than offer to mop (but we're all in socks...no thanks). Later they took $6 off my balance and gave me three day pass vouchers (I've always gotten these in the past after large parties). Did nothing to offer any kind of discount. I told them that I would sadly have to give a one star review and the response was just...shrug. Awful. Not returning and don't recommend this for birthdays anymore.

There is also a playground with basketball courts in the back. So it is very child friendly. The building itself is rather old so you will be able to tell from the interior and particularly the bathrooms. Wish they cleaned the bathrooms better.

The climbing was fun for everyone, from the kids to the adults who joined in. A big bonus was the coffee shop downstairs--it provided a comfortable space for refreshments (outside food and drink permitted) and gave parents a place to relax, chat, and mingle while the kids climbed. Highly recommend for birthday parties or group events!

Had a chance to visit Vertical in Tyson's and was lucky to have the gym to myself early in the…read moremorning. Was excited to give this place a try since I've only been to Sportrock and Movement. The Facility: Nice and spacious building. Has a nice variety of walls for you to choose from (Cave, overhang and moon board). They also have a small little fitness area with dumbbells, barbells and some cardio equipment as well. The mats are are well cushioned too, to catch your falls and there are plenty of cubbies to store your gear and be put out the way. The Routes/Grades: Their routes are on the v-scale and were somewhat accurate to the grades from what I've seen. I saw a mix of grades that I did and didn't agree with, and I can see this being a little hard for some beginner climbers. But, my biggest problem with this gym is that the holds here are all old and dirty. For the most part, the whole gym was kind of dirty and didn't looked well kept. For some of the routes I was on, the holds didn't make it enjoyable as dirty holds left me slipping off my feet. They were quite dusty and full of rubber shavings and the whole gym didn't look well kept at all. The Staff: Staff here are very friendly! They were helpful with any questions I had and were respectful. Overall, a 3/5. Was quite disappointed with my experience here at Vertical. For the amount it cost for a day pass, I would look elsewhere like Movement or Sportrock.

The thing that makes this place special is the staff. These people are as kind and helpful as the…read moreday is long! They even helped me find a lighter! Most health clubs/ community centers would not be cool enough to have that. They also are a great venue for hosting sports tournaments and other types of competitions.

It's not a huge center but it does offering some solid amenities that cater to various interests and ages. The main thing I go for is the basketball court. On a good note the staff was friendly and helpful.

Basketball court but also a large field that, when it isn't wet, can be a soccer /lacrosse/football/wiffleball field. Also has a mini nature walk trail that will allow you to stroll along the creek and put you out by Carleigh Parkway. Dog frisky paths and generally pretty quiet. Covid shutdown has pushed some teenagers to frequent the playground equipment as a hide out spot, but they're pretty quick to go when you show with little ones.

It's not going to win any awards. This is probably among the most forgettable parks in Burke. Just…read morefor the record I'm not insulting it, as this works for little ones. The main issue is Burke is known for its unbelievably huge and vibrant parks, that offer so many more recreational opportunities. This is a playground and a small basketball court. There is a bit of open space, and to its credit it's quiet. Little ones seven and under should like the playground and slides. There are some decent play areas on it, although it's not huge by any means. Playing basketball works. The court here is usually available to practice on. It could use a bit of renovation, but for the next year or so should be fine. I'll give this a recommendation, but don't expect high on the wow factor.
