The Link Event & Recreation Center

I’ve only used the Link for after school care for a few years now and summer program for my youngest last year. The cost is inexpensive for me as a single mom and very helpful. My experiences haven’t always been 100% perfect but when I’ve brought up the issues I did have they were addressed properly. I do feel some of the younger counselors do need some more experience and growing in their career but everyone has nothing but love and care for my children! I love that they actually play with the kids and do crafts and such instead of just being “baby sitters”. The last two years Alexis has gone out of her way and recognized all the children in the after care link and gotten them gifts for Christmas, and seriously puts thought into each gift for my kids! As long as the link is available for after care at my kids school and affordable for me I will continue to use them.

I am fairly new to this district and I must say since my son has been attending The Link Aftercare program & I haven’t had any worries. The counselors interact with the kids by assisting them with homework and give the students activities to do until it’s time for pick up instead of just sitting around watching the children. I’ve became familiar with all counselors but there’s one in particular that stood out and her name is Alexis. Very nice and loving and not only just to my son. She even took the time out to gift all the kids Christmas gifts. My son will definitely be attending until he’s of age. Thank you for all you all do.

We been using The link after school program for several years now and we are so happy with the staff. They are so friendly and our kid love it. I want to thanks Alexis for being so caring about our little one. She is awesome!

My kids love the link. The staff is always so friendly and helpful and will do whatever it takes to work with you. Miss Alexis is amazing, I am so thankful for her and the energy she brings to the link. She is compassionate, understanding and she loves our kids. I am so thankful to have her in our corner. She truly is a blessing to our family.

Reviews of my 35th visit to a facility on 75 DFW / North Texas cities with 309 locations. This one is The Link Recreation Center in Richland Hills. DPA (Dallas Pickleball Associations) Rating: Overall, 8.7/10*. This place looks really nice and clean inside. Location on 6750 Baker Blvd, Richland Hills, TX 76118. The Link Recreation Center has 3 Indoor courts: floors rubberized material. (8.3/10 Court rating). All 3 courts were being used at my arrival time of 9:40 on Mon 08 26 2024. Court 1 is for Beginners & Intermediate. Court 3 is for Advance players. Court 2 rotates between B&I and A. Court 1 Level of Play 2.5 – 3.2. Court 3 level play was 3.5 – 4.0. Pickleball everyday (Mon-Sun) see flyer for dates and Times. One OP evening: Tuesday 6pm -7:55 pm. Lighting was very good. Placing paddles in stacks on bench court 3; court 1 uses stacking paddles on a table. Orange indoor Onix ball is the primary ball used. Ceilings were approximately 22 feet high. The rubberized flooring is some of the best as far as less stress on joints and legs. The ball bounces consistent. The problem with this facility there is air pockets which causes some issues in the flooring(luckily the problem areas are outside of the court. They will probably fix this floor sometime this year. This floor issue caused a lower court ranking. The flooring didn’t cause any issue when I played on Court 3 this morning. Pros: $5 DI and $15 month for PB only. Free for most senior insurance programs. See flyer for all programs covered. Not too crowded. Many Open Play times. Cons: Flooring needs work. *The DPA review was my own view, this was based on my visit at that particular time and day. The review might have been different on another day and/or time. Everyone has their own opinion.
