Shore Acres Recreation Center

I go here for dog training and it’s a nice place. You have to have a rec card ($ 15) and be a resident but it seems like it’s for a good cause in supporting the rec. I’m looking forward to trying out the pool sometime on a desperate summer day. My only wish is that they had basketball courts. Nice people and laid back atmosphere though so give it a visit.

There’s only one «big room» here and a handful of classrooms, so the number of classes taught isn’t that many, although there is a good variety.
STAFF/​TEACHERS
All are very friendly. The ones in charge are smiley while the teachers know their stuff. On the flip side, most of the building staff appears stuffed with high schoolers earning community hours– in other words, they look moody and are silent. But everyone else is great.
BUILDING
During my martial arts classes, the air conditioning in the «big room» is pretty noisy and can make listening to instructors difficult (especially since many classes are composed of elementary kids)… or deafeningly quiet when it decides to stop working. There isn’t a real «waiting area» for parents to work/​read while waiting for their kids.
Constant things to do include a basketball court, playground, mini waterpark (seasonal)
Despite these setbacks, there’s a charm about this rec center. Adults and kids have a good connection to each other here… and good teens gather here without causing trouble.
