THANK YOU SO MUCH Linden Community Center for the quick turnaround for space for Sonshine Christian Academys Father / Daughter & Mother / Son Dance! The space was beautiful and clean, and the workers helped get the room designed the way that we needed.

Honestly, I really cant believe how nice this place is. I remember how it used to be. This place is immaculate. It has everything you need in the community there. It even has a doctors office inside of it. Its a really, really nice place outdoors and indoors. It has a pond with fish. It has water park. It has a place to cook out. Barbecue shade trees, playgrounds, tennis cords, soccer hockey everything you need its a great piece for that community

CLEAN THE DAMN POND!CUT THE DAMN GRASS REGULARLY!This park has the potential to be a place to seek serenity in the neighborhood that surrounds it, however the upkeep from the city is not as frequent as another park in other areas of the city that host more Caucasian people. #BLACKLIVESMATTER

Beautifully redone park and center. Didnt go inside but the courts, fields, and green spaces outside were lovely. Nice looking playgrounds, a splash pad (I think), walking paths, a Pavillion, and a small pond you can fish in as well.

As a childhood and mid life northender of the Linden area. Its so nice there now! Im so glad that they gave back to the community like they did with the new center. Im just hoping as a community WE can and will keep it up for the children and families to continue to come back and enjoy it! 😉

Review №24

The community center is set in a large park. The playground is new and filled with brightly colored strangely shaped obstacles and jungle gyms. The turf is that squishy astro turf stuff. Surrounding it are lush trees and picnic tables, a couple tennis courts, basketball courts, and beaches that are nice and wide and comfortable. The only bad things were, they dont have any outdoor bathrooms, only whats inside the community center, and it was closed for the weekend when I was there. Also people were determined to just drive across the grass to drop things off near the two picnic shelters. Also the shelters are do not take reservations, just first come first serve which seemed to almost cause a fight that day bc one group had been waiting and the other drove up with a bunch of fancy party stuff and acted like they were entitled to the spot but in the end they sorted it out. All in all considering the location it was pretty clean and fun.

Review №25

This center has been remodeled and is a site to see! Beautiful place. The staff are pretty dope too. You can tell they actually care about the kids. The gym, the dance studio, the basketball court, & outdoor splash pad are probably my top faves. Oh...and cant forget the amazing commercial kitchen. 🙌

Love what they done to it I been there plenty of times .But this day was police day was very nice got nice stuff for my grandkids. I got see inside the police helicopter the kids got to sit inside they gave gun locks out also plenty of police came out shut out to them so many others came out also to support shut out kids have fun and free food and drinks for them was nice also

Review №30

I was not in the center but took the kids over to play at the playground. They loved it! The outside is beautiful. I took the kids back and I have to down grade this park. I am shocked that in 6 days this park went from beautiful outside to trashy! So much litter and all tables were filthy and sticky. Did go inside this time and inside looked really nice with several good programs for ppl. This is the reason that the park got a 3 instead of a 2. It is a real shame that ppl cannot walk 10 feet to throw away their trash. I am a bit apprehensive to take the kids back.
