Murphy Recreation Center

Best people working there are what keeps the place afloat….keeping our youth off the streets and in a safe place is what makes it great! Where else can you find RON HOOD daily!!!!

I use to take grandkids there, but broken glass on the ground for weeks between basketball court an playground not cleaned up, 2 minors drove thru 1 mini bike an moped, moped driver almost hit a little kid crashed moped an gasoline spilled out, so sad

They have many different clubs and sports for all ages. They also have Camp Program during the summer.

Great place for your children.. Friendly family atmosphere where children as well as adults can be nurtured and educated

Ever since they redid this place, it's beautiful! I live just two blocks away so I take my 3 year old son here just about every day, weather permitting. I love that the ground is made of soft foam instead of mulch. The playground is new and safe. There's a small one and a larger one. There's a good amount of sitting area. My only complaint is that they only have baby swings and not ones for older kids. I can't wait until summer to try out their pool.

We didn't access the facility, we went to their backgrounds park. And while I were there with my two grandchildren. There were a lot of decent and caring parents there. On the field with their little lead football teams. We set up a friendly environment for our children, individually. Kid's rule!

Good people.. The pool is one of the city's best. I've been bringing my kid's here swimming for years. Never had a bad experience

They recently re did this park and it is really nice. Raised the rent by $300 on the blocks around it so it did alot for the neighborhood. I do not understand why there is no locker room. Kids can not use the bathroom from the poll so you know where they are going to the bathroom. There is a great staff. One of the best life guards ever but the lack of locker room ruins it. Also the way the field is faced is so awkward and people let their dogs poop all over the field. There should be more fines maybe cameras to prevent that. Clean up the Whitman neighborhood!! For the kids!!

The place looks great. Once broke my arm there, the basket-ball Court needs some work. Concerned for my friends who play there. It's all concrete and they could break something there. Otherwise. Great place to hang out. Recommend!

Small play area slide, climbing net, bucket swings with soft rubber floor tho avoid hard falls, large field to run in and play ball, public pool, haven't been inside the rec center but saw people coming out with basketballs. The location is not the safest so I'd suggest going early. Close to shopping.
