Obnoxiously detailed review because finding parks for kids is so hard.Cute closed-in playground with 6 swings, two jungle gyms and benches for parents. Park faces quiet residential block.Theres also a large foot ball field, tennis courts and pool.

Great place for the youth. The people who work here are dedicated and doing the best with what theyre given. Wouldve been five stars if the outdoor court wasnt on a slope. One basket has been used more than the other for years lol

Because its for the Community which consists of our children and it should be a clean and a safe environment. The building really needs to be updated and who can help with this.

Christy Park is a pretty nice community center. The adults and children make it lively and fun, and they have lots of activities for all ages.

My 11 year old grandson was there this evening playing ball. He ran inside with the other kids because they said there was shooting outside. Whoever the adult woman was made him go back out and knock when he was trying to tell her what was going on! He is a kid, who was scared to death! He will not be going back there and I will be writing to the mayors office. To add insult to injury, his phone was stolen. Another reason he ran in her office. He was scared and wanted to call his mother. I am so upset that he felt he had nowhere to turn because the adults on site was not very helpful.
