There were teens outside dropping several f bombs and all sorts of other colourful words. One word in particular starting with a C in reference to a person who RUNS teen night! Try to explain to a kid why that word is beyond inappropriate for anyone to use!!! As well as smoking right outside the doors.

Somthing has to be done as this is not the first time we have experience somthing like this. It's not fair for small kids to be exposed to such language and environment when coming to participate in an activity! Disgraceful really!

I had kids fighting in the building and there was no staff supervision at the tables where it was happening, after swimming on Friday nights my children were harassed on as we left and even worse I could let my daughter go to the bathroom and she was aproched and harassed by teens while the staff were no where to be found. It is not a safe place to be Friday night!

I have also noticed a deterioration of the behavior of the kids out front and their attitudes. Too bad that the kids who are the problem can't be ticketed and tracked then given specific curfews after repeated offenses and the kids who are not the problem, left to enjoy the facility that they are using respectfully and appropriately.

My poor friend has talked to the same group of kids and the front staff does a great job at doing what they can. But they are NOT aloud to ask them to leave if they are not 'doing' anything bad. Of course they are not going to do it when they are looking, of course they are going to be nice when they go to talk to them and of course they are going to say sorry and be good for 5 minutes but as soon as they leave, the bad language, fights, smoking pot, drug deals, harassing starts again. I cant believe that management would let or want these types of kids to hang out there and not the sporty, nice kids that want to use their facility. Hopefully something changes before someone has enough of those kids and lack of parenting.
