Don Newton - Taylor Ranch Community Center — Local services in Albuquerque

On the morning of 04/15/2022 we were playing basketball on 1/2 of the gym. Approximately 8:30 Pickle ball players started setting up their court on the 1/2 we were playing on creating a dangerous situation for myself and all the basketball players on the court. When I approached the Activities Coordinator (David Vargas) along with the Community Center Supervisor or Cluster Manager (she did not want to give her name, and I will explain why) and asked if they could please tell the Pickle Ball players not to create a situation where there is a danger to myself and the other players. I was told by Nicole Mentz or Cassandra Vigil (again, she did not want to give her name but said her name was on the flyer for the CC), extremely flatly I might add, to "Come on Tuesday or Thursday", and cut me off. I, again pleaded for them to ask to not be put in a situation where we could be hurt, a situation that is completely avoidable. I was then lied to by David Vargas and the woman (either Cassandra or Nicole) and told the place was rented by the Pickle Ball players. I then checked and it is not rented, simply available to them from 9-11 (according to the Taylor Ranch flyer). Since our safety is obviously not paramount to the senior staff at the center I question the ability of the senior staff to make it a safe place to be.

They probably have 30-50 people here and they are letting 10 men use the whole court when there is 6 hoops. The staff does not care at all. He told me to have my 10 year old shoot on the side hoop while there is 10 6 foot + guys running full speed back and forth. I am so disgusted with this place. I thought it was a community center but apparently children are not part of the...

OMG I was so surprised at how wonderful this place is and what it has to offer. I have lived in the area for the last 20 years, and was looking for a comfortable and quiet place to workout. Not too long ago I decided to see what the place looked like, and was floored when I saw the fitness room, the pool tables, and the ping pong tables! It's all very clean, the staff is always pleasant and I have never found it too crowded whenever I have gone there. Other things they have are computer rooms, locker rooms, and conference rooms for rent. They also have a wonderful meal program...
