Emancipation Park Recreation Center

Emancipated from Slavery. Nice place, this place reminds me of New African Shrine in Lagos Nigeria, but this is just the advanced version. Free Gym, fast membership registration, great staffs, I like the fact that the little kids go there to network and play basketball together. This place makes me feel like Africa in the western world, clean and secure. This place makes me feel at home (Nigeria ).

Pleasantly surprised to learn this was so close to my house. Only one visit so far but staff was friendly and helpful; gym was quiet; other patrons were respectful. (The gym is admittedly a little dusty but I've paid good money for much grosser gyms!)

i use the gym here often. sufficient equipment to get a workout in and everything works. when i started coming here, the smith machine was down but after reporting it, it was fixed within a few months. i appreciate the cleaning solution to wipe things down. it is very dusty on most surfaces in there (and they close for 1hr cleaning so idk what cleaning is actually done) but you're not there long and again, the equipment at least works.

I signed up to use the facility. I've visited this place twice a week apart. The gym staff was rude both times. It cost nothing to be friendly & welcoming. I will not return. Teach the staff how to communicate properly.

I've always driven by and admired this park and facility, but this is the first time I actually went in and checked it out. It's great! Nice gym, a room for meetings and workshops, and a big basketball court and event space.
