From the reviews
My family loves it! We've enjoyed the center during school swimming trips and now personally for swimming lessons. Everyone at the Life Community Center is attentive, helpful and friendly!
Taking an art class for adults. Nice to have an instructor who guides you through art techniques and tools that you want to learn about.
Great stained glass class. Deborah was outstanding and helped us all master the process. The time flew by and we had a great time.
Birthday parties at Lakeland Center: Carbondale Park District
Lakeland Center: Carbondale Park District hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
