Richmond Recreation Center

Well-maintained recreation center with frequent events, basketball court open to the public, and ping-pong on Fridays. This place was very clean when I visited, and had plenty of people, but wasn't crowded. The hallway has flyers and some art, and a calendar with the month's events. There are water fountains and restrooms. Outside, there are some concrete benches with words inscribed in them. Masks and vaccination cards are no longer required.

Center leaves me with mixed feelings. I went to play at the "Drop-in" pickle ball court and the director was very nice, as I had never played pickle ball before and he directed me to the beginners' court. The players were nice, but a few minutes into the game a coordinator came by and told me that I couldn't play there, and that I had to go learn the game somewhere else before playing at the center. I was shocked and bewildered as this is a "Drop-in" activity and not a reserved or private court activity. Anyway, I'm not likely to return where I was so unwelcomed.

Great facilities, the locals at the gym are all super cool. Great pickup basketball there are always pickup games going on. The schedule is great and only has two off days. If you are looking for a good gym to play basketball indoors this is the place.

Lovely gym still on the newish side. There are cooking classes that are in great demand. Never was able to get in one though. The Chinese elder community love to play ping pong there, or hang out and watch others play. They look pretty good, too. There are dancing classes, kung fu, basketball. I am sure there are way more things I don't even know about. Nice little parking lot, with beautiful landscaping and an art installation just outside the front doors.

First time playing pickleball w a friend. Nice indoor area; people are friendly. only issue, need to get use to all the different lines on court as same area used for basketball, volleyball and badminton
