Reader Reviews
We would love to hear about your favorite (or not so favorite) St. Paul Recreation Centers. Where do you go for family-friendly fun?
Your article helped me a lot. Arlington rec center has open gym for kids after school Monday – Friday from 2:30-4:30. In the winter they can play on the basketball court. There is a fitness center for adults. It also has a nice playground for little kids.
Thank you for your review, Laura. We love to hear other parents’ experiences.
