“I don't know if it's new management or owners but the trash is absolutely horrible. The dumpster are over flowing and it's drawing rats the size of house cats we deserve better in our neighborhood get the trash and people blocking the alley so people can park. It's just common courtesy from me and people in the neighborhood”

“Fun spot for adults and children not as big as Erie lane but Erie lane is closed so this is the next best thing. There is no bar but you are allowed to bring your own food and drinks. Attended a party here a few days ago and had a fun time. Great for parties and large groups”

I found out that there were maybe 4 workers left. When I walked in, nothing was oiled, setup, no team ”
