Had family in town for the holidays and we able to rent it out on short notice, owner was extremely nice and we ended up not staying the full time we had rented it for and the owner only charged us for the time we were there. Would recommend for anyone having a get together and wants to play some basketball

There's a lot of people that go here to watch basketball games or to walk around the top of the gym for exercise. It's very clean and secluded and out and away from the hustle and bustle of society.
