Yosemite Recreation Center

Visited since its close to my son’s preschool. Cool park with playground (where we mainly hangout), Rec Center (never been inside), basketball courts (has nets, thanks!), and pool (only during summer… not the best, but ok).
Playground equipment looks pretty recent, and there were a good amount of kids playing there. Only side note is that the playground is not gated all the way around so keep your eye on your kid (which you should do anyway).

They have lots of kid sports and programs… Nice and quiet park. friendly staff… But they really don’t help you w financial services for summer camp…

Great location and convenient. I love their recreational activities. My son started playing basketball here and it has challenged him alot more. Now he is in the frosh soft team in high school.
They also have many other activities for the kids (soccer, baseball, summer camp, etc). Not to mention that they have an indoor basketball gym and an outdoor basketball gym. Also, an outdoor playground for the kiddies, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a recreational hall where kids stay at during the after school program. You can also rent the hall for special events like birthdays. Just see the director for more info. I rented it to celebrate our son and daughter’s birthday. I just remember that I was surprised how affordable the rent was.
Overall, great location to hang out with the kids on a nice sunny afternoon. So let’s come out and play!

There’s something primal about a ball bouncing. It doesn’t matter what kind, so as long as it is fulfilling its purpose, to move. The rhythm of it’s sound, coursing through you like the beat of a drum. It is now.
At ten am on a weekday adults line up waiting for the full size indoor basketball court to open. The gates give way and an oasis draws them to the hardwood floors shimmering with opportunity to be kids again. To live in the moment, a sense of presence, to play. No charge for this freedom. Glass backboards support any anxious attempts or over thought shots.
Outside you will find 2 large blacktop basketball courts, an area for racquet or handball, a playground, a baseball field, and even a swimming pool when the warm weather gets warmer.
Around 2 when school gets out a flock of Eagle Rockers come swarm the scene. This is their turf, their second home. Out of tiny speakers their voice is loud. High Schoolers play Drake’s newest album like it’s their anthem. Don’t let their joyous screams deter you. You’re never too old to enjoy the now.

I’ve enjoyed running here but will not be back until the summer when evening light returns. The setup of the park is rec center, basketball courts, tennis courts and the playground at one end, fields in the middle, an aquatic center, and at the other end an area with amphitheater-​style steps built into a hill (which have broken glass everywhere). This end of the park is unfortunately fairly secluded. When I was running the other evening all of a sudden a larger group of guys come out of the woods and start descending frantically down the amphitheater steps. I ran as fast as I could and didn’t turn around until I was a safe distance away. They were all on their knees with hands up and 2 – 3 officers patting them down and cuffing them.
My point is although fairly lit, don’t run at this park by yourself.

Great Location, good management of the Facility, and Great for the Kids… What more can you ask for?
This park is hidden in Eagle Rock, next to the High school… Just driving by it, you can miss it and pass the parking lot. I’ve been going here for years, utilizing the BBALL indoor gym and Outside gym.
The outdoor playground is also one of my favorites for the kids… playground Enjoyment. They even have a Hall you can rent for Birthday parties etc…

I NEED NOT SAY MORE…

If your going to try the steps at mini-​coliseum watch out for broken glass, even in the grass.

Pro’s:
— Rent out the gym for practice, for old times’ sake, or just to control who gets to play on the weekend mornings.
— Plenty of parking on the street and in their lot.
— Two lit tennis courts.
— Indoor & outdoor basketball courts.
— Handball court.
— Newly remodeled playground area.
— Other hall that you can rent for debut practice.
— Field/​track you can bring your dogs to run around on.
— They offer all types of activities for kids, teens and adults, a really great city recreation center.
Con’s:
— Sometimes strange people walk through your games and will need to be escorted out.
— Sometimes the people you play against don’t really have great sportsmanship, so choose your battles wisely.
— Sometimes the lights go out in the middle of your game, but knock on the window and they’ll turn those back on.
— The bathrooms could use a LOT of work.
