Normandie Recreation Center

Large recreation center with basketball courts, baseball field, playground, and exercise areas. Great variety but maintenance and cleanliness can be inconsistent.

“Normandie Recreation Center is a sizable park with several recreational areas: a baseball field, several basketball courts, a picnic and relax area, a nice playground and exercise area. However, last time I was there (Jan 2022), there are lots of tents on the peripheral of the field and in the parking lot. The park building is closed and homeless people were literally sleeping and living on its porch.”

“Had some fun with a few friends playing basketball, and also got harassed by a lady who may or may not have worked about a red ball. We didn’t even know it was hers and she also called us a few names and was pretty disrespectful, like chill out lady, we’re just teens. Nice park to hang around at, but still surprised by the lady’s unprofessionalism.”
