That didn't last very long since I really don't have any skills according to Michael B. ...so I started playing basketball with some random people. Everyone seemed so friendly. It was as if everyone knew each other for a long time, yet we had just met that very day. Such a local/neighborhood feel to it. They have about two or three basketball hoops and the ground is very smooth for skateboarding. Not only smooth, but very large so it's perfect for beginners. They also have a very large grassy area where dogs are running around, people are flying their mobile airplanes and kids just enjoying it all. You can also enjoy the clean equipment.

For a small recreation center with a big baseball field, this place is pretty neat. I have not…read moregone in and seen the actual recreation center itself, but I always see flyers promoting activities and sports teams using the field day and night. I give the place kudos for having lights up for night play and there is a small seating area if you're looking to sit for a while. I usually jog by on my cardio days and it's always a nice sight when passing by. The area is a bit cramped so parking can be a hassle but for a recreation center, given the location, it's nice to see this place up and running. Plus it is kept well maintained. Overall, if you're looking for a place to get active with a small group or are in a VAVI/sports league, this would be a good venue to host some games.

I am writing about this recreation center specifically as the trailhead to the north end of the…read moreTecolote Canyon hiking trail. The route begins by the tennis courts and immediately descends a couple of hundred feet into a narrow canyon. From there, the journey is flat and winds southward parallel to a dried up creek bed. There is plenty of shade as you are strolling beneath foliage most of the time. After a little over 1.5 miles one way, the path intersects with Balboa Ave. You can walk roadside for several hundred yards next to the speeding traffic before traversing a crosswalk to continue towards Linda Vista and the south end of the trek. That portion contains a series of very steep hills which I have tackled before with the aid of my trekking poles. On this occasion, I turned around and completed the 3.5 mile circuit by mostly retracing the way I had taken. A healthy number of mountain bikers were on the trail at the same time I was. The width was sufficient to allow them to pass me without difficulty. I know that during the summer, many more insects are active in this area so wear repellent if you come at a warmer time of the year.

I look forward to bringing all of my children here for extracurricular activities.

We definitely will be back for the park.

Great little recreation center with a playground, outdoor and indoor basketball courts, tennis…read morecourts outdoors with 3 hard courts, and a baseball field. The facilities are pretty well maintained and I've come to play sports on all of the different available fields here. The outdoor Basketball Are probably the least well maintained because the concrete has many cracks and the hoops are bent out of shape. The indoor court is smaller than a Full court but is in very good shape. The 3 tennis courts outside are very well maintained and have seating area on the sidelines sidelines with shade. The baseball field field goes in-and-out of good maintenance depending on how the grass is kept up. Most of the time it is pretty good and there are Vavi leagues that are hosted here frequently.

Rating this almost purely from a tennis court perspective. As an avid tennis player, it has been…read morefrustrating how incredibly difficult it is to find public tennis courts since I've moved here. I am glad that at least the courts here are free for the public to use (ahem Balboa Tennis Club ahem), and that is the only reason why this is not a one star review. However the courts themselves are terrible. The top gritty layer of the baseline area is eroded away from years of use, leaving behind a slippery surface that is dangerous to play on. Half the tennis court nets are broken at the top tape part, often allowing the ball to pass through even though it should have gone into the net. Finally, the hours that the courts are unlocked for the public are terrible as well, during business hours on weekdays and closed on the weekends. How am I supposed to play when the only time they are open is when I am at work? Also the park can get pretty sketchy at night time, so I would only come here in the daytime.

This review is just for the baseball/softball/kickball field…read more I have only been here on Thursday evenings for kickball through Vavi, the social co-ed sports portal. Being an outfielder in kickball, I notice that the lighting definitely doesn't go much further than the infield. However, if I'm good enough, staring straight at the lights and infield is all I need, as the ball shouldn't pass me. The only restroom access we have is that port-o-potty just past 3rd base into left field. Hope you have strong legs to hover over that mess. Parking: There seems to be vacant spots on the street. If not, then it's worth looped around the block or nearby for them.

All though the outside may look old as stated below, it's what's on the inside that matters. Volleyball hours were changed and communicated to community months ago through internet and posted signs. Open play hours are always subject to change as stated on the posted calendar. During basketball season, coaches have priority to indoor courts. I'm grateful they offer open play volleyball and coach respectfully ends practice with youth at the times he is scheduled to. I would at least communicate concerns with staff and give them opportunity to explain reasonings. They definitely also are the type of people that would make an effort to try and work something out with patrons. GO MONSTARZ

Today I went there for the annual Broadway Heights community organization breakfast. Comfortable with good food (mid-April each year). The Recreation Center has BIG front desk, weight room, exercise room, restrooms/locker rooms, Gym, Teen Center, meeting rooms too. All well kept. Great view of mountains outside of back of gym during your break. Nice modern design and architecture. Across the street is Mountain View Park with a small rec. center building. The park is pleasant on the north side, but a little rough on in the center. There is a baseball diamond with bleachers on the southwest corner. With rough grassy area on the southeast corner. The tennis courts have no nets that I saw and in very rough shape?? The basketball courts are in the center of the park and looked playable. There are a few picnic tables and some shade trees. A Brand New children's Playground is being constructed to be open in a couple of months directly across from the community center, but there is no street parking on Boundary Street, which is a one-way going north. You MUST use 40th Street via T st. to get to Mountain View Community Center. There is another park, Southcrest Community Park, that is just a few blocks south on 41st St. which is what Boundary St. turns into going south of Mountain View Community Center. Main entrance off South 40th Street.

Plenty to do & lots of time to be spent. Wish there was some more shade offered!
