Phillips Park Community Recreation Center

My name is Hitt, I'm from Pittsburgh PA. I do many things but one of the things I like to do is experience everything I humanly can from foods to places plus people and things. Rather than write a long review and clutter the reviews with anymore long reviews (no knock, you guys are great) I'm just gonna get right to the point...This place? I'm primarily focused on the Disc Golf Course behind it.This course is 9 holes.The course is made by the school kids.Looks easy but deceiving.Good luck!

This park has potential, I'll give it that much. We went solely for the disc golf course, but our impression of the park as a whole (at least what we saw of it) was just so-so. The biggest thing I noticed was that it was dirty.. FILTHY, even. Trash just everywhere. Everything from cans, bottles, trash bags, silverware, styrofoam containers, etc etc. And not just collected or gathered in an area or two.. all over the place. Some of the people there seemed more like they were loitering than enjoying what the park was intended for, and while they weren't a bother to us, we definitely were aware of their presence. The disc golf course was decent. It's a small 9 hole course that's positioned on a hill side and basically runs in a loop just in the one particular area of the park. It could be a fairly nice course if the park was in better shape (to be fair, it's not awful. Just dirtier than other parks in the Pittsburgh area). The course is pretty easy, but with plenty of trees to pose as obstacles and make it interesting. There is a line of houses along the parks edge, so if you're not careful it would be easy to lose a disc in someone's yard. For the most part, it was an OK round.. we only played once (with 9 hole courses you can play through twice to make it 18) and probably won't go out of our way to return, but it was alright.

The park would be a great park if it was maintained & was monitored. I like right down the street and do not feel safe taking my daughter to this park. There is always trash everywhere, benches are broken, the playset is broken in so many places and the graffiti is horrendous! The water fountain has been broken for months, doesn't drain and is growing algae. The basketball court & football field are not kept up. The bleachers to the football field are falling apart, the score board is from 1973 and it's usually over grown. The fence is broken in so many areas, both at the basketball court & football field. The park is not at all monitored! People will be at the park at 10-11pm, not playing but doing other inappropriate things. While kids are running around, there will be adults and teens smoking both cogitated and other things. Multiple times there have been fights at this park with the cops called. This is just a horrible place to take your children, our tax dollar should go to good use to maintain and monitor this park, but it does not!

We love going to Kindersports at this rec center on Mondays @ 10am. Joe and Patti have such a nice program. Good work out in gym time, snack and story time, then clever easy fun crafts. Always enjoyable!
