Great Venue and super customer service especially since it was a last minute move from HyVee Center because of roof leak. Keeping safety of our BKB players was #1 priority. Thank you for extending your day. Only suggestion is more designated parking.

Good venue for basketball and volleyball, limited seating and limited concessions. Having to pay to enter each day of a tournament is pricey, 3-day tournament for two adults at $10 each..

Facility is nice. Level of Coaching varies widely. Fees are high but thats not the argument. Entry fee to games have increased from 6 dollars to 10 dollars each. Thats crazy! Covid or not. How can people on fee scholarship afford the price of admittance? Answer: They can't.

This is a beautiful facility with talented coaching and friendly staff. Ankeny and surrounding areas are lucky to have such a neat place.
