John M. Brown Community Center — Local services in Apex

Small, simple, clean tidy. This is absolutely the best community center on the planet, well until Northeners ruin it. But at the moment it's the best ever. Why the best you may ask? Strict but fair, which means everybody gets a turn and nobody get bullied. They do not allow street style basketball with all the bravado that goes along with it. No way no how never going to happen. It also costs money like $5 to play. Which equates to you respect what you have to pay for out of your own pocket money. They don't not allow any food or drink in the gym so the floors are clean. When your time is up, it's up and the next group comes right in. The staff is pretty strict so if you don't comply they will kick you out. (SJW are already Melting reading this) But it sets a culture of play hard, right up to the time to switch. Nobody gets mad it's now someone else turns, simply no hard feelings. Kids programs are amazing, but thanks to the Northern invasion wake county will be paying for them for the next 30 years, along with the other 3 bonds. Because nothing like spending $70 a year in taxes on kids sports when your in your 80's make you as happy. They have a great website and staff and hours and rooms...

They require you to sign up at least a week in advance for a class but have no problem cancelling that class only two days in advance. They also dont refund your money right away so if you need that refund to sign up for a new class at a different location for a job requirement on the date you specifically signed up for youre screwed. PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THEM TO PROVIDE THE CLASSES YOU NEED WHEN...

Without question or doubt our Apex Community facilities and staff are tops! I've had touch-points with them at various times over the past two years I have lived in Apex. Recently, after I left two pretty expensive chairs at a ball field, the staff went out of their way to search for the chairs and contact me re status. Hard to find that kind of service in a town's staff...
