Silver Mesa Recreation Center do not have a working staff. Most of the time you see all their staff standing around the front desk talking. Then if they are not hanging out gossiping about people where customers can see them, you see them in groups of two or more talking and standing around the center. Most disturbing is their new rule that the Silver Mesa Recreational Centers Basketball Team cannot have anything more than water during practice and games, and the childrens drinks must be put in an assigned area at all times. The parents and families of the players are not allowed to have any sort of drinks what so ever. I dont understand the logic of this new rule except the health consequences that could result from those who have medical conditions and most importantly dehydration due to the extreme heat during the summer time. As a parent of two children who play basketball for the this recreational center I have witnessed the staff harass, single out certain teams, threaten parents, speak very disrespectful to adults, yell, and incite an argument because of their new rule about drinks in the gym. I have never experienced such attack at this gym (until now), Tarkanian Gym, high school gyms, convention center Jam On It basketball tournament, YMCA gyms, just to name a few gyms that I have been to taking part in the sport of children playing basketball. Teams, parents, family, and friends were always allowed to at least have a bottle of water and bottle Gatorade to drink. What is the real concern? I can understand that maybe water or drinks could get spilled on the floor and that is why there is staff to help with situations like that. Sometimes people get sick and vomit, or hurt and bleed, or have accidents. Is the real problem that the staff do not want to do their job, but instead just get paid for showing up to work. Tax payers pay for the center and families pay additional fees for participation in specific activities. Maybe cutting staff or shutting down the center would help these employees to appreciate having a job that serves the community. The community which allows them to have a job and make money that many unemployed do not have. Or maybe the city would re-evaluate this non-sense if and when a lawsuit is made because someone gets sick or dies because they were prevented from having a drink while cheering on their grandchild or child in a game of basketball. Do your job and serve the community! The community pays for the center, staff, and activities, so dont make it unwelcoming that no one wants to be apart of this particular recreation center. Remember, people can always take their kids somewhere where they will feel part of a family and not an enemy that is always on attacked.

I came here to silver mesa for summer camp when i was 10 or 11 and I HATED this place I begged my mom to let me stay home, I even tried convincing her that I would do chorus. My friends didnt like it either. Anyway the staff were mean, the only rhig they like were to boss us around and the parents. Tightest wrist bands that I had marks for 3 weeks. Some older kids were bullys and mean. The staff made us run laps around the gym for a kid coughing while they were explaining something or a kid talking back or some other accusion of someone rolling their eyes. When it was lunch time they gave us the discison to either bring are food, vending machined, or three squares (search it up) it was lettuce with ranch, the lettuce was soggy, ranch was okay, cookies were good, sandwhiches were horrible. They only good part was they had crafting, pool tables, a pool near by (you had to pay for it to enter). We played minigames like 4 corners, ispy, army navy and alot more, I hoped they changed since then other wise my advice is to not come here.

The Silver Mesa Recreation Center is a great place to go and beat the Las Vegas heat. It has a very large pool with a great slide!! Me and my son got on the slide at least 12 times. It was a blast! I did have a couple of down sides. One was the fact that there were quite a bit of loose tiles at the bottom of the pool. I dove in and back up to the surface. I didnt want any of the kiddos hurting there feet. The other down side was that the pool only goes to 4 ft all away around. Other than that I give this place a thumbs up and we will be going back. Oh one more thing, the price is great too! 3 bucks for adults and 2 bucks for kids and you can bring your own snacks. Now that you got the scoop go get your splash on!

Not a good experience. On Saturday, May 30, 2015 I called just to ask one question no one was picking up my call so I drove to the center and while I was parking and after the phone ringing for 45 minutes they answered. The second issue was due to a misunderstanding with my registration and I believe they should have a list of proper procedure to follow when a new person is trying to use their facility. This place is awful it needs to run better, they are losing too many people to other community centers. The best experience I had when I move to Vegas two years ago was with Mirabelli Community Center.

This park is very close within walking distance from my house. It has a giant public pool. the park itself is huge!! you can picnic or take a nice walk. its (usually clean). People can bring their dogs which is nice. But SOME PEOPLE dont clean up after their dog. i have a dog and ALWAYS clean up after it. Hey, dog people who dont pick up....Get with the program! Dont make us all look bad. Kids like to play on the grass. This is a nice park. 5 stars

I was bullied here once as a kid, but after I came across the ancient medallion, I became impressively strong, strong enough to never be bullied again, needless to say,I still go to this park and await the day I can share this with my kids

I am there at least twice a week. They have so many activities for the children. Basketball ,crafts ,karate. I think it is great what they have to offer for the children. It helps to keep them off the streets and out of trouble.
