Sunrise Recreation & Park District

Gina was in charge of making sure the bathrooms and also the covered picnic area was clean and fully stocked. She went above and beyond. The location was super clean. Thanks so much.

So happy to have this and everything it offers in the community! My older son did his preschool in rusch Park, done swimming lessons, and is now currently enrolled in the year round karate program!!! All have been fantastic!!

I have been taking my children and now my grandchildren to Rusch park for the last 40 years. classes are great, pool is fantastic, staff kind and caring. they have done an outstanding job.I saw that first post and I am thankful to know that such a filthy mouth creep will not be coming back to be around the children at this park.

Antelope Aquatic Center swim lessons were amazing. Affordable,Clean, safe, easy to find, and very friendly staff. Our son (3 years 6 months) was enrolled in a two week group class for 3-5 year olds. He had fun and learned enough to be cautious of but comfortable in water. There were about 5 -6 children and two wonderful instructors. Our daughter who is 5 years old and has Autism had a one on one class with a wonderful person and skilled instructor, Jarrett. Jarrett was patient and flexible helping our daughter learn and have fun in the water. Although our children at separate times had melt downs Jarrett handled them with care and kindness. I would recommend the center but especially Jarrett to anyone and especially to parents of kids with special needs. Because of him we felt safe, included and welcomed, despite our sometimes difficult and frustrating children. I can't say enough about how happy each of our kiddos was everyday on their way to swim and how fortunate I feel as a parent to have Jarrett as our instructor.

My daughter who is 3 years old was very scared to get in the pool, the swim instructors have been great. However I have to say that Jared has been AMAZING with my daughter and he was able to gain her trust, make her laugh and have fun all while getting more comfortable being in the water.

The Sunrise American River access points are fantastic. The trails are beautiful and well maintained. Theses spots are great for day lounging at the river. Be sure you visit the trails between Hazel & Zinfandel, those were my favorites. These trails are great for biking, horse back riding, Pokemon Go & Ingress.

I signed my son up for basketball clinics twice and both times we've had a great experience. The coaches really care about the kids and work hard to make sure they are having fun! I will continue to use Sunrise Rec. & Park District recreation activities and recommend them to anyone looking to sign their children up for sports or activities .

They have improved greatly over the last few years. It is now a much better run facility.

After reading an earlier (and so elegantly expressed!) post, I had to make sure another viewpoint was available. Sunrise Recreation and Park District, despite underfunding, drought restrictions, and a huge district to manage, has some of the most community-oriented and, yes, family-friendly programs in the area.Pet-A-Palooza, an annual event at Rusch Park, is one of my all-time favorite celebrations, and I'm not even a dog owner. The SRPD staff is accessible, professional, responsive, and creative. The District offers a number of classes and training programs as part of its mandate, and does them well.Please check out their parks. Look on their map, and find one close to you. These people, and this Distrct, take care of their parks -- and you.
