I called a day ahead of time and reserved a softball batting lane for one hour. Upon arrival I…read morechecked in at the front desk. Because this was my first time here, I asked the young lady where the batting cages are. She led me to the corner and I realized the cage was not set up (netting was not extended and machines were lined against the wall). While she was helpful in pulling the netting out for us, she quickly told me she doesn't know how to set up the pitching machines. (I don't either). Seeing that she wasn't going to even bother trying to figure it out for me, I started crawling around on the floor trying to figure it out. I found that it was not plugged in. I asked where the outlets are and she shrugged saying "probably behind those wrestling mats". These were HUGE wrestling mats stacked well over my head. We stared at each other for a bit: Me in disbelief that this employee couldn't help me in setting up my reserved lane and she just didn't see the issue. Finally, I took the initiative to take an extension cord from a neighboring baseball lane and pulled it over to my lane to hook it up. Lastly, I had to pull the pitching machine by myself, from the wall, to the lane (they are VERY heavy). This process of setting up my own lane took approximately 15-20 minutes. I also asked for a tee and she told me they're all broken. The kicker: 10 minutes before my reservation time would end, the same employee came over to let me know that the next reservation was here and that we needed to wrap it up. I laughed and said: "we barely had the opportunity to start since I had to set up my own lane and now you're kicking us out early??" At the end of the day I did the right thing and didn't argue with a 16 year old. But I thought management should know 1. Reservations for lanes should be set up and ready to go for the customer when they arrive at their start time. 2. Having customers move those machines is a liability waiting to happen. 3. Employees should know how to use/set up the equipment. 4. Reservation times should be honored/refunded especially if 20 minutes of the customer's time was spent doing the employee's job.

Mary Waters Park ⁣ ⁣…read moreI'm not gonna lie. I've had a sweet spot for this park for a long time. It just has everything. ⁣ ⁣ Tons of shade on the play equipment, swings, a basketball court, splash pad, and a big open area to walk around, play and even just to sit on the benches and enjoy the sounds and sights of our beautiful earth. ⁣ ⁣ It's a great spot for kids (or adults, we won't judge ) to run and even kick a ball around! It would make a fantastic spot to picnic too! ⁣ ⁣ This would make for a fun couple hours out of the house next time you're in the Belknap Lookout neighborhood!
