    I've officially become one of "those moms." Ya know... The ones that cover their unshowered hair…read morewith baseballs caps hopping from tot playtime to tot playtime? Not carrying a purse, but a giant backpack stuffed full of snacks and extra clothes? It's me. I'm that mom. All of the Seattle area tot playtimes have different times and days set for them, so it's a toss up which one my son and I will be able to make, if we choose that for our activity of the day. I normally go to the Rainier Beach Community Center, but tot playtime wasn't open that day. Hence our visit to the Rainier Community Center! Their tot playtime is Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 am - 1 pm. Basically, they convert one of their large gyms to a padded play land suitable for kids 5 and under. And, it's completely free! I like going to these play times because it exposes my 8 month old son to other kids and people. He's in his "stranger danger" phase, which is great but I also don't want him to be shy 100% of the time. He's also in the mix of learning how to crawl, and the play times offer huge, padded open spaces that make a great way for him to practice. They've got bleachers for the parents/caregivers to sit on which is nice. They've also got an attendant or two roaming the room at a time to watch for any kids who try and escape or to make sure nobody leaves anything behind on their way out. My only gripe with this location was that a TON of the toys they had out didn't have batteries (I get it, they're expensive) which means they've got about 50% of the normal appeal they would for any child. I also noticed quite a few of the toys my son tried to go for had food (at least that's what I hope it was) crusted in the handles/crevices like they hadn't been cleaned in a while. For what it is, this is a great activity and center to take your little ones to if you're on the hunt for simple, free fun!

    This review is for the facility, for holding a non-profit event…read more A commnuity brings people together; and places like this are great. For what reason? They hold events that are basically community building... in this case, they held an event for Zeno, called Mathfest. I was in two parts of the facility. 1. The main gym, which was also where all the activites were held, is a great large facility, with lots of lights and space to do just about everything. I think for general use, I love the ease to get tables and chairs, I think it's truly a great place for basically any community focused event. 2. The kitchen, where I become impromptu kitchen boss... is excellent for making pretty much anything you can think of, they have a respectible workspace, and I think if you have a lot of food to be made, this works. okay, shorty review, but I don't normally do these types of review, but I think that there are great things that these places do, and knowing that if I ever had a child, maybe there are places for them to just have fun, makes the world just a little better.

You may run into someone you know from community and there's a nostalgia factor. This centralized gathering hub brings me back to camps and baggy pants and looney tunes shirts, breakdancing, Massive Monkey and free food. Every time I walk by the big hall by the entrance I am engulfed with memories of parties and food. I can smell the lumpia and pancit, barbacoa, Ezell's, Costco pizza, and home made ribs bought from Viet Wa and smoked. The ever lasting smell of Red Apple sides and Delite bakery empanadas and pastries further add to the memories. I remember randomly being invited to a Nigerian celebration and ate fufu balls, fish, and stews. Delicious! I appreciate the multigenerational care at Jefferson. It's a center where no one goes hungry, community looks after one another, and preschoolers to the ARC programs are supported. Yesler is a close second in Seattle for CC and Chinatown is third. Each has a special place in my heart and I appreciate everyone at Parks.

I primarily use for Toy Gym which is full of different types of vehicles (and once, a soccer ball.) It can be very popular - lots of kids on windy/rainy days. It's nice that the outside park is right there so you can switch gears depending on the weather. Sometimes the kids are rambunctious, that's no fault of Tot Gym but just an FYI.

I also just had my third survey on my leg and sometimes need assistance with walking. I see a therapist two times a week for that. My dog is a puppy 4 months old. I've taken her to Queen Anne Community Center, Jeferson Community Center and she's been here several times and Trina threatened to have me escorted by the police. Mind you my dog is well behaved She yelled at me in front of my 12 year old and 5 Other kids who are 12 and younger She's the only person that has a problem with animals, mind you we are in Seattle (dog lover City) I've taken my dog with me to all my doctor appts and everywhere and no one has a problem other than her

The center is situated at the edge of the New Holly neighborhood, which primarily consists of housing, but also includes a branch of Seattle Public Library, satellite campus of South Seattle Community College, and other community buildings. The newly renovated and facility re-opened in 2007, more than doubling the size of the old center. The building features lots of windows in the lobby area and multipurpose room. Included in the expansion are new staff offices, interior and exterior public restrooms, activity rooms, and a large dividable multipurpose room with a small adjoining commercial kitchen. The center is surrounded by a landscaped lawn with lots of trees and flowers, a public art installation outside the front entrance, two basketball courts sponsored by the Sonics/Storm Team Foundation, a wading pool, children's play area, a covered picnic area and BBQ grill. The expanded center accommodates activities such as teen programs, classes, after-school programs, community meetings, weddings and seniors programs, a drop-in fitness room, basketball/sports gym, after-school child care, summer day camps and free WiFi access. Also they have outdoor fitness equipment.

This is located 1 block west of Queen Anne Ave N on top of the hill and the building south of McClure Middle (Jr. High when I went) School and is easily mistaken as part of the school. I learned soccer at the play field, Little League Baseball, and basketball in the gym. I learned to swim next door at the QA Aquatic Center. There is an outdoor playground, 3 baseball diamonds, and playfields (soccer usually). Locals call the playfield "Big Howe" although there is a sign on QACC that says "West Queen Anne Field House." Anybody who lives on QA that hasn't used QACC didn't grow up here. Lots of activities for all ages from toddlers to seniors. They have art classes, exercise, dance, martial arts, serve meals, etc... My kid attends the Fresh Air Preschool here and the Director has a Montessori certificate. 1 teacher per eight students and it's very affordable. They have MWF or TuTh. If they had a hotel here the Village People would've made a song: "It's fun to play at the QACC!"

They also have a room full of toys, huge play kitchen, puzzles, tumble mats and more. Fresh Air Preschool is the best - you can choose 2 days/week, 3 days/week, or 5 days/week. Very affordable and the teacher is Montessori certified. Both of my kids attended and loved it there - she does a fantastic job with social, emotional, and cognitive learning. School age care is also fantastic. They always seem to pack in so many activities for the kids and make it all look so effortless. We were usually pulling our son away when it was time to go. The adult pottery class is a must try - huge room to work in, lots of wheels, tools, etc. Best part is you can use the room ANY TIME the community center is open while taking classes. The weight room is also open any time and offers drop in or a low monthly fee. This place is a must if you live near!
