J W Cate Recreation Center

This is a hotspot rec center for all ages (especially teens) especially because of its location next to a school, church, mall and busy residential area.
ACTIVITES
There’s always activities going on (from Zumba, to martial arts, to dog obedience classes) and that’s not counting the outside areas of basketball, playground, tennis courts and more. The outside courts tend to attract lots of games so it’s possible to have every space occupied.
Despite being busy, during weekday evenings there are still many empty rooms inside for teachers to hold future classes.
SAFETY
It seems you can always see multiple areas of the center (inside and outside) no matter where you stand. The entire area is very open and there’s always people walking around– hence, I’ve always felt safe. In the reverse, at night, there aren’t enough lights (and still lots of people walking around) so THAT doesn’t seem as safe.
SERVICE
So far all teachers and staff I’ve met have been very eager to please, very friendly, very knowledgable and ready to ask YOU questions so they can serve you better. Luckily, I’ve also seen them get harsh at people getting too rowdy.
