Family Reviews

"This rec center is the reason we moved to Noe Valley. Soccer league, open gym, tennis — my kids live here after school. And it's basically free."

"Tuesday toddler open gym saved my sanity during the winter. A big indoor space for my 2-year-old to run around while I talked to other parents."

Local parent

"The after-school programs here are incredible for a city-run facility. My daughter does basketball and art, and we barely pay anything. Don't sleep on this place."
