We’re new to Texas 🤗as we moved a few months ago here for better lifestyle and opportunities to grow and luckily we discovered this place in our neighborhood that feels like home here, even better actually and we love everything about this rec center! The staff is very welcoming and Coach David is extremely professional and helpful with my son who has stepped out on faith and joined the basketball team and is doing very well in spite of his disabilities because of the inclusive environment! Shoutout to Coach Mendez too because he puts in work with all the kids and cares too and shoutout to my son’s teammates too because the are all amazing too and understanding and helpful as well! We are very grateful for this place and all to come in the community. The have so many activities for the kids and they also have a fitness center and an after school program which I see May kids attending all the time. Also, staff is very attentive and helpful! May God continue to bless us all 🫶🏾✨✨ I will post...

I know recreation centers where the staff becomes like family and welcomes all from the area. Tiffany was really nice never a bad encounter, but we no longer see her. Maybe she doesn't work weekends. The male sports coach unfortunately was transferred and he was the best thing about location. Not sure which district manager is over PITW presently. Crystal use to be over one area, but I believe she moved up in position. No more sports for us. It's not...
