a year agoThe Palumbo Rec Center is a hub of the Bella Vista neighborhood. The big field and playgrounds are used daily for school outings, soccer, and for early morning walks with your leashed dog. There are free outdoor basketball courts. Indoor courts for community & league sports. Love that there are separate, spongy surface playgrounds for younger and older kids. The turtle sculpture is a favorite for photos and hangouts. On an average day, you'll see the preschoolers in mornings, afterschool activities, and families relaxing in early evenings and weekends. The Center's meeting rooms are used by community organizations. They also hold public zoning and neighborhood education events regularly.

7 years agoBroad range of skill levels at the basketball court and a generally friendly, accepting group. Play can reach very high levels. Baseball diamond usually used by organized men's teams. Drink vending machine inside, playground for kids, lights in evenings, and soccer fields. Great park.

6 years agoThis is a great place, especially for kids They have great indoor facilities. But my grandson is a toddler. The playground is perfect for him Supported baby swings, sliding board perfect for a toddler. Safe rubberized ground to run on. Just a great place.

6 years agoVery nice, well kept field. Lots of activities, and they stay open tonight. The only complaint would be that sometimes the basketball games result in a lot of loud profanity, but that's the competitive nature of it and besides the facility offers indoor basketball which is cool. Also the community center, for example it is a PLACE WHERE PEOPLE VOTE on elections, this is a crucial block to this part of Bella Vista.
