Lanark Recreation Center

Knowing director Jeremy Aldridge is there organizing and encouraging children, he and his staff willing to also save lives, and taking care of those from evacuated areas with a competent willing staff means so much. The kids are encouraged by so many involved staff & enthusiastic parents. Together it makes for a safe encouraging place to go for many reasons.

It’s a different park I could say very interesting lotta bugs and lizards

I played tennis at this place I always have a great time. Sometimes the lights don't come on and sometimes they do. And I think the lights go off at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m.

​It's in a bad neighborhood, trash everywhere, people from the apartments across the street take over all the parking, in the facilities and on the street. There seems to be no enforcement. If you find a spot to squeeze into, the neighbors get territorial. Avoid parking anywhere near the taco truck as they will spit on your car. As for the recreation activities, they are not accommodating for autistic children. I don't recommend the rec center at all. They seemed nice at first, but obviously favored their usual kids & disliked mine, so all issues we're blamed on the autistic kid and not the violent one they knew & liked. I'm not a fan of violence. The recreation staff got upset when I said a kid was violent for beating mine up. The summer swim staff was even more ignorant when it comes to autism. My son burned the soles of his feet walking around in circles looking for me because they wouldn't let me into the facility with him, despite me asking & explaining the accommodation. No one cared to notice or help him.

Little fair in the park in the weekends, great place with great tacos!

Could be a great park, it’s a little sketchy IMO after dark, but there’s too many activities and people, and not nearly enough parking to accommodate everyone. People double park (I don’t blame them) and it’s only a matter of time before some kid darts between a park car and into the street and gets hit. Great planning on the City’s behalf as usual. Cops handing out tickets and towing cars is fun too. I wouldn’t choose to go to this park unless I had to.

There's a great skatepark along side the play ground.
