There's a little bit for everyone here. From young kids anytime between 8am and 10 pm playground activities, to tennis courts, baseball, football, soccer field with seasonal teams, to open Tennis Courts a Library, Boxing Club and a Golden Age Center. Very friendly kids and adults. There's also a Library and the, "Golden Age Center" across the street along with the playground parking lot

This gym is overall excellent with sports and signing your child up to play a sport . But in my opinion they should let the children a least shoot on the basketball goal during free time the staff have. Yea I know it rules and regulations but, the staff of the terrytown gym can a least change the rules in the gym and let the the children shoot on it during free time when its no activities going on.

There refs have bad calls and are always on one side.I would never recommend this park to anyone and I mean anyone. When people asked the refs about it, they just ignored and laughed. When the other team would fall on porpuse , the ref would blow the whistle and give them the ball. When the other team would do a handball they'd say " well I never seen it and start laughing at the kids . When one of the people got kicked in the face the ref said " you'll be alright but tive the ball to the other team . After the game the ref would look at the other team and start laughing. When people told him if he was a paid ref he'd call the police . Bad experience and don't waste you're money .
