Trash bins are set out by each court side so players can dispose used birdies, a really nice touch. The floor when I was there was swept two time, they really have being organized and clean down. Drop-ins are 7 dollars. The staff was super friendly as well, the people who opened this place play here on a regular basis and are very welcoming. The only thing that needs to be changed is the fact it's a little bit dim, needs brighter lighting on the courts. Come enjoy a super clean and fun new facility that I highly recommend if you're interested in playing Badminton.

I tried calling ahead just to see if a court reservation was needed. I called their listed number on the website, their was no answer and no machine on Saturday or Sunday but we drove over anyway. There was no one at the front desk except for a bunch of teenagers playing with their phones. One of them was nice enough to advise us that open play had been cancelled due to a tournament and directed us to an employee. First employee we spoke to was too busy "running the check in desk" to speak to us. Second employee could not really speak English but did her best to answer our questions which were 1) do you have a calendar we can see that shows when you have open times and when they are closed for tournament Short answer no 2) is there a better contact we could call to get a live person or message that tells us up to date information so we don't have to drive all the way to the facility to find out they are closed Short answer no Essentially there is no communication with patrons about their open status and they did not seem interested nor apologetic for that situation. 1 star is being generous

I can say that without…read morehaving the program chess4life offers, the clubs would not be the success that they are today. The video lessons are short and easily understood, while the practice exercises work great on a smart board or a projector. There are four levels of instruction: Pawn, Knight, Bishop and Rook. This allowed our kids to be separated into two separate groups and be challenged at the level that was most appropriate for them. The online portal also allows kids to play against the computer and one another online. Chess4Life not only offers a great program, they also give back to the community and care about the kids. Their presence is felt in many of the chess tournaments throughout the state and they run and volunteer at many of the chess events. I am glad to have selected Chess4Life and will recommend that both clubs continue to use them for future curriculum. Thank you!

The courts are pretty good but the timings not so good. They have good member programs but they…read morehave better program for kids than adults. Their classes take up over half the courts in the evening and even as member there are just so many times when you have to wait for more than 20 mins before you get a court and even if you get a court you can occupy it for just 20 mins. The major perk is that it is open 24x7 for members and if you have a group you can come outside of the rush hours. Their drop in rates have also increased and it is 15 bucks on Thursday and Friday which I find very expensive for a club this size Their coaches are pretty good and though their adult classes aren't that impressive due to the fact that you could be paired with a learner on a different scale than you, their one to one lessons are expensive but pretty good.

We went for summer camp and my kids LOVED it -- it's pretty casual and definitely not as organized as other camp sites where there is a check-in, check-out system. We didn't think our kids would have enough to do for a full day camp here but they didn't mind it at all. Appreciate no strict rules and made for an easy atmosphere to play. We did ask for their Tax ID for tax purposes and they kinda put up a front about providing it (all other summer camps have it printed on their receipts). My little loved it so much that we signed up for classes. Appreciate the fact that everything is included and that you don't have to go out and buy your own racquets, equipment, etc. Wished that the classes came with a voucher or two for free play or something though so that she can practice. The prices for reserving a court is pretty pricey!!

One of the best things about their pool is that it isn't overly chlorinated. They use a saltwater system. Some pools feel like they have so many chemicals, that you wouldn't want your kids to swim in them. The water is the perfect temperature. The teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced. Everyone is very friendly and the kids are always excited to come back every week. There is a waiting list to even get in here. If you're looking for somewhere to send your kids, this is definitely the place!

There is a class that comes in just after my son's Wednesday class that has more adults. Watching them during belt testing tells me that they also do a good job with Adult classes. Their schedule is heavily focused on the kids though. I'm impressed with the instructors and how they push the kids to get better but do so within limits of what is reasonable for each child. They taylor their approach to ensure every kid gets what they need and progresses even if that means holding them back from testing one month. The only criticism that I would have is that they have set up their program to progressively cost more and more. This is great business practice and it works wonderfully. I admire it but it is frustrating when every time you turn around you are likely getting gently reminded of another thing that would be great for your kid and it of course comes with additional cost. That said - you do get your monies worth here. Excellent personalized instruction even in larger classes and instructors who know your kid and care about them. I'm very happy that we found DMW and it has done a world of good for our son.

The workers doing their duty for this country were educated, prepared, friendly, and professional. I'd vote here everytime for till 3000 :) because of them. Cool story, my co-worker and pod mate recently became a citizen. I think she was intimidated by the registration process as online there were some hiccups for her. After going to vote for myself, I pinged her and let her know while standing in line, they have workers helping those who haven't registered yet. I told her how great everyone was, how fast the line moved, and how easy peezy it all was. I had been trying all week to get her to vote, and after my experience at Crossroads Community Center, she did it!

My companion and I had driven to 3 parks in the evening, a week or two ago, looking for a tennis court. The tennis courts were full at every one of the 3 parks that we drove to! It was about to get dark soon, so we thought that it might get dark if we tried to wait for a court at one of the parks. So, we drove here as our last try to find an open outdoor public tennis court that evening. Thankfully both tennis courts were open here when we arrived! As you can see on the ground around me, the tennis courts had quite a bit of tree debris on them (mostly twigs and pine cones). However, we were able to play tennis here for about an hour and the pine cones and twigs didn't really interfere with our play, so 5 stars from me! The second tennis court was occupied by 2 other tennis players shortly after our arrival. They were very considerate and threw the stray ball back to us when it landed in their area, and we did the same for them. The parking lot is smallish, but it was sufficient for our needs and it was only about half full. The winding path to get to the tennis courts was a lovely place for a short stroll, with tall trees surrounding the path. There is a kids play area near the tennis courts. Kids seemed happy about playing there on the evening of our visit. There is also a 4-hoop basketball court adjacent to the tennis courts. It was full for most of the time that we were playing tennis. I liked the high fences around this space, so we didn't have to worry about a basketball getting in the way of our tennis play. It's been years since I last played tennis. I played tennis a lot growing up, mostly with my Mom, who is extremely competitive. I'm not super competitive myself, I prefer to be collaborative in most cases, but I was delighted that my companion and I each won 5 of our 10 games, because I do like doing physical activities with people of similar skill levels. Super nice and peaceful area, and a great place to play tennis. We may return!
