Went to finally get a Skyview Pool pass for myself and family after living here for over 20 yrs. Better late than never LOL. The staff was awesome. Really nice establishment.

I came here to walk around with my brother and explore the area. The field was wet because it just rained a few hours before. I came on Christmas Day. Parking was easy. There is parking areas in a few places but the big parking area is easily noticed and has several ways in and through. The areas were clean for the most part. The area is big enough to run R/C stuff like cars, or drones. I enjoyed my visit here and will return some time. It's quiet and enjoyable and there are plenty of things to see and do in the area.

Wonderful time at Forbes today!! Zumba class was CRAZY FUN and our instructor was the BOMB! Her energy off the roof! The center is booked and BUSY! There was a tournament for wounded veterans wheelchair bound going going on at the same time of our class. The Veteran Community is near and dear to my heart so I was torn between working out my moves with Zumba an attended the event. I truly needed the workout but it was good to see the tournament turn out and Forbes Rec was a phenomenal venue. Folk at the center were nice and helpful. Very nice and clean facilities. Great location for the Zumba workout that left us breathless 🤣😮😏👏🙆‍♀️

We held our daughter's Sweet 16 in the multipurpose room at Forbes. It was a great space to host our party. We had a party with around 50 people. The room has a small kitchen which was perfect for us to prep the food we served and cleanup items at the end. A small ice machine was available to use and chose to use it for drinks for our guests. It had an oven to keep food warm. We had access to 1/2 of the refrigerator as well. When we arrived they had the room set up the way I requested and pulled a few extra tables in when requested.
The staff was very helpful and were very attentive to our requests. The staff even gave us carts to bring items back and forth from the cars. They also assisted bring things in. The bathrooms were clean and easy to access. We also had access to outside where the smaller kids could run around and play.
Overall we had a great experience at Forbes and we will definitely be using this facility for future events.
Thanks for making this event great!

Right next to this place is the Helen Howarth Park. This is hands down, the best 3 wall Handball/Wall ball courts in Florida. There is a small group that plays out there Sunday mornings around 9am. Some average players, a couple of A players too. Nice!

This facility is disappointingly chaotic. They don't seem to have a regular weekly schedule. My grandsons were unaccustomed to the center and did not know any of the kids there, unfortunately. On the plus side, staff had the kids outside for a good amount of time. At the other rec center we have been to, the kids never went out of the building any day we were there. Back to Forbes now. There are 3 rooms for indoor activities: one for watching videos, one that looks like a basketball court, and the main game room. My oldest grandson wanted to play some video games but that didn't work out for him. At the end of the day, the boys were unsure which facility they liked better. We will have to have a conversation about where they will be going on Monday.
