Woodland Hills Recreation Center

“This space looks amazing! The equipment looks new and the landscaping is pretty. The playground is a bit small, but fun for little kids. There's plenty of trees and shade in the afternoon. We only used the playground, but the actual rec center building looked new too.”

“Went here to cast my ballot met a lady at window very helpful. seems the ideal place for creational playtime. I would take my little people seems like they were having a fantastic time. Would definitely recommend this place for the young at heart.”

“Nice area where to walk, run, work out, play football, basketball, baseball. Playground for kids. The pool is still closed because of Covid for the moment. Nice view.”

“This is our family’s third year playing at this rec, and up until now our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. However, today we were approached by the director in such a rude manner that I felt compelled to share this feedback. While waiting for my other child’s practice, we decided to go inside the gym with my toddler while my oldest son and his friend were shooting the ball. The gym was mostly empty, but the director approached them harshly, saying they couldn’t be there, likely assuming they were unattended, even though I was just a few feet away. When I asked who she was, she emphasized her position as director but never adjusted her tone. After I questioned her further, she shifted the issue from them being unattended to saying she didn’t want them to damage the rims by hanging on them since they were lowered for the younger age groups’ practice. I completely understand that concern and had no reason to argue with her. What troubled me was the way she initially approached my boys, assuming they were alone, and then doubling down with the same tone and attitude even after I identified myself. We complied right away and were never combative. Both my son and his friend, who were together at the time, are honor roll students and very respectful kids. The interaction was unnecessarily hostile and left a poor impression after years of positive experiences here. Fortunately, I was there to speak up for my boys, but I wonder how she would treat other kids from the local neighborhoods who may be seeking refuge from street life or other harsh environments. Kindness goes a long way, and her approach missed an opportunity to build trust and community.”
