Manassas Park Community Center

1. PREDATORY CONTRACT THEY MAKE HARD TO GET OUT OF 2. PLACE IS CRAWLING IN ROACHES I signed up for the community center so my son could have swim lessons and swim for PE as we home school. Shortly after we signed up and (THIS IS WHERE WE DISCOVERED THEIR ROACH INFESTATION)3 lessons into a 6 lesson swim class that we paid for upfront my partner was hurt in a horrible crash. He spent over a month in the hospital surviving 2 surgeries and then needed 100% hands on care at home. I wasn't able to take my son to his swim lessons and frankly forgot about the community center til 3 mo ths after the accident. Due to the need my partner had we had to move out of state. I called to cancel and was told with out full payment upfront of what i was behind they would continue to charge me til the end of the contract. So the more you cant pay the more you will owe. This is supposed to be a place that supports a community. They have no idea what the word means. Im in a much better position now and I'll pay a lawyer $1400 to file bankruptcy before these predatory vultures get another penny out of me.

I called today around 1pm to check if anyone had gotten my email about renting the pavilion at Signal Hill park. The woman I spoke to on the phone stated that I couldn’t book over the phone, I would have to go to the community center. She confirmed that the date I wanted was available (November 30th). I arrive at the community center and I’m told by someone else they don’t book after October 15th or November 15th, she couldn’t remember. I am extremely disappointed that none of this information is on the website and I had to jump through hoops to be told they don’t even rent out areas on the date I need.

A comprehensive community center for Manassas residents at all ages, including recreational facilities; gym, pool, after school classes. It’s planned to arrange tour trips and special program for senior citizens. You can enjoy from services provided by friendly and responsive staff.

Great place, been coming here for years to use the gym for my workouts and what not. The only issue that is extremely nerve wrecking, is the cost. The membership is $35 a month and they boast that you have access the pool and the gymnasium but the pool and the gymnasium are booked everyday by kids sports, etc. which is cool, but it is always at the times when you would normally want to go get a workout in or play ball after work. They explained that the courts and pool is booked each day for 4 - 8 which is the time when most people would be out of work and have a chance to go. Does not seem beneficial to get a membership if you cannot use the facilities whenever it is convenient for you. Sucks because I really enjoyed coming here and the secludedness of the workout room allows me to really focus on my gym therapy. Does not seem like its really made for single people without kids. If you do not have a membership, you have to pay $5 a day to use the facility which if you go to the gym 5 days a week for 4 weeks, adds up to $100 a month… not great.

1 Star Review. Pickle ball is a fun sport. So much so that I wanted to include my family in the sport over our Thanksgiving break. I had called Manassas Park Community Center since we were visiting the area and had asked if it would be a problem bringing 7-10 people with me who didn’t know the game- Dawn said no problem! They even have the wooden paddles, balls, nets. I thought wow- what a jackpot. We went and what a disaster. The person in charge is BONNIE- and she is very passive aggressive. BONNIE even tried to sabotage us using the facility paddles, almost getting in the middle physically so that they would not give us paddies. We had to go to the front desk for their assistance with this- as Bonnie didn’t want us to use them. Even though they had around 30 paddles. BONNIE did not welcome us and got hung up on us setting up a net for three people instead of four. No one needed the court or our space- BONNIE was just being a nasty old lady. BONNIE was very cruel to my family and had such bad energy. Even the regular people that go and play pickle ball said how “Everyone has their own Bonnie story”. Bonnie should be ashamed of herself- this is a game that people come to have fun- not to be tortured every step of the way. We were new to this gym and very excited to come to- we didn’t know all the ins and outs- but after meeting this horrible leader - we def won’t be back. We asked for our money back and Dawn wouldn’t refund us.
