LoVerde Recreation Center — Attraction in Niles Township

They then didn’t want anyone to go into the soccer field because they knew it would be a bad experience for them. If they have a soccer field open gym, I expect to be able to play soccer with my friends without having to have problems. Extremely dissapointing and a waste of my...

Just double make sure to check what session the staff is signing your child up for. It happened twice that they signed my child up for the wrong thing. Thank goodness I waited for the email receipt before I felt the facilty. Keep in mind that if there is no parking in the lot you can park...
