Palmer Park Community Center - Hyattsville, Maryland

We used to come to this rec center all the time on rainy days so that my boys and their dad can play basketball alongside other friends and family. This last time we went we were greeted by a young lady at the front desk with an unpleasant attitude. While in the gym my kids along with others were playing off on the side with a smaller hoop belonging to the rec when a staff member was sent in there to literally just remove the hoop from the kids without saying anything. At this point we went to go speak to management to see what was going on and were told after paying and entering the gym our kids could not do anything but sit quietly on the side lines of the games. Because we had already paid we took the kids back in the gym for a little bit longer so their dad could finish his game. At about 6:45 another young lady came in the gym without saying anything and started to drop the divider down in between the gym. She then proceeded to yell "y'all gotta GO! " and turned the lights off on the players while they were actively in a game . Overall WILL NOT BE BACK. And if y'all are going to work for the COMMUNITY maybe have a better attitude.

beautiful renovation and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The playground still has loitering/litter and the main playset has been broken with pieces boarded up for over a year now. Tired of driving to Allen Pond park, for the adequate maintenance.
Edit: all needed repairs are done now 🎉

We toured the fitness center here to start a healthier lifestyle. The front desk was very helpful with showing us the facility. The fitness center was very nice. They have a basketball court and there was a baby shower going on up stairs, so there is an event room for rent. I didn't give it 5 stars because there is no pool. Other than that parking is around the back or across the street. And the price for a membership is reasonable.

Came here for the indoor basketball court. The day pass is very reasonable at $6 and the front desk staff is very friendly and kind! The courts are in great condition, not dusty, and tons of grip. Overall I rate the courts a 5. I took one star off because while the courts might be open till a certain time, they start to shut them down ~20 minutes early.

On one hand I understand if you don't people might sit around until way after closing, but I'm the other hand I would rather see the staff get paid for their extra minutes pay after closing rather than rushing out at closing time.

We come here for Spanish class for toddlers. The class and instructor are great. We haven't explored much of the building. Seems like a typical "school" building. It apparently gets pretty cold inside in the winter per other people's comments to me. A plus side is the playground they have at the building.
