DK1981· a year agoThere was a photography show going on when we visited. We talked to several of the photographers. Some of their work was for sale. We learned how to take a very cool pop art looking picture. Beautiful recreation center. They offer classes throughout the week. There is also a large athletic pool for water aerobics, water volleyball etc.
