Ford Community & Performing Arts Center

They held the space for Eid prayer this year, it was an amazing experience. Thank you for collaborating with all the local mosques 🕌 to be able to perform our religious obligation in one of the most celebrated Islamic holidays especially during the time our brothers and sisters are suffering in Palestine.

My graduation was here! A guiding staff at designated check points from the front door throughout the auditorium. They were accommodating and pleasant. The entire facility is very pretty. It's decorated with art work of local kids and other specific exhibits. My only complaint was that the auditorium itself was extremely warm. They could've turned the A/C on to lower the temperature since it was packed with graduates and their families. That many bodies can generate a lot of heat!

I got a membership, went one time and I'll never go back. Ever. First they say if you have a child of the opposite gender you must use the family locker room. Ok that's fine. I go to check it out, not only does it have a huge window on the door for everyone to see everyone changing in there.... it was FULL and I mean FULL of men and their SONS. Not one little girl in there or woman or anything. Why can't they use the men's locker room then? I have a 5 year old son and a 13 year old daughter.... I certainly WAS NOT taking her in there to change with all those men [I mean there was 20, I'm not exaggerating, men and adolescent boys] and I wasn't either. But I'm not allowed to take my 5 year old in the women's but you want us to change in the family room full of men? I told the front desk and they said when I come I can tell them and they'll make all the men leave and I'm like who wants to go through that. NOT TO MENTION a guy comes out the pool struggling to blink telling us we shouldn't swim because someone puked and pooped in the pools and it was over dosed with chlorine because of that. We left within like five minutes of being there and I'm going to there to cancel today or tomorrow. I will never be back. Not that it matters to them, and I don't expect you too. I just was tricked by the good reviews and pictures and was irresponsible in the sense that I should've toured the place first. And I am not a Karen at all. So for me to write this, the situation had to be outrageous. Just some insight.

A nice space. Recently they organized the lighting of the tree for the first time since the pandemic. They also had a wonderful display of Christmas trees, toys, and decorations. There was a funny skit with the Grinch on rooftop as the mayor lit up the tree. They had fire outdoors. It was a warm and relaxing event with colorful decoration. Very good use of space.

A awesome location and super nice play!!!
