Dickinson Parks & Recreation

"We booked a month prior to our stay here at the RV site by Patterson Lake. We arrived on a Sunday with nothing left at the office as it was closed. We are experienced RV-ers, so we simply pulled into our site. Sites are “back in” and lovely with large privacy bushes in between. Each grant a “back yard” area. There is a loud train that rolls through 3-4 times in 24 hrs, but that didn’t bother us ( just behind the sites) The lake is beautiful, playground clean and nice bath house. Would stay again- here 3 nights. Only $15/night if over 60 and one time $15 park fee. $30 otherwise."

"To many swim team boys taking 1/2 hr showers , then there is no hot water! Lot's of careless wastefulness of my tax dollars! The steam room door frame hasn't been cleaned in years! One other thing mentioned it to wilson last year about the build up of rust scale on the large square beams that hold the building up, in the pool area over next to the windows. Just painting over it won't slow down the rust! Eventually it could lead to a big problem down the road. Sorry for the rant just some of the things I see when I go there."

"I like the endless activity choices and how clean the place is. I have only gone a couple of times and have had no problems other then the daycare. Not going to lie. I’m not a fan. I think the customer service is poor. They haven’t welcomed my son in like it’s a fun place to be and when I pick him up I get no words from the staff. I get stared at awkwardly. I have to ask to get his belongings back every time (which is fine. I’ve just been to other daycares that are far more on top of that.) and there was a time where I still didn’t get all of our stuff back (my fault. I should have realized.) There was one time in particular where the staff was going on and on to a customer in front of me about how cute their daughter was and it made me smile and feel like it’s a friendly and involved place until I picked up my son and got my usual treatment of feeling uncomfortable picking him up and wondering if they even knew he was there. I’m by no means a helicopter mom or one to complain, but I will voice my concern about his needs and care and I can’t honestly say what does or doesn’t happen while I’m gone. I can just base or judge my opinion off of what I see and feel on drop off and pick up. I don’t feel welcomed and I don’t feel like my son is welcomed. Other then that I feel it’s been a great place to get some activity in."

"This is the Dickinson Rec Center. Been going here for the past month. Great facility, many fitness machines and weights, a pool/sauna/hot tub section, basketball tennis, racquetball court etc... Go here at least once even if you're just visiting in Dickinson!"

"It's a great place for kids to play with other kids. The pools are amazing and fun! The workout equipment is awesome and clean nice and neat"
