I really enjoy my time at Asphalt Green. It is nice to know that whenever I show up there will be people who know me—trainers, instructors, and other members.”

Like so many people, post pandemic I have been working a lot more from home. While this has many benefits, the downside is the lack of interaction with people on a regular basis. This is where The Asphalt Green Athletic Center has played a vital role in my life.”

Asphalt Green has been a wonderful recreation and health center for my family for over 20 years. At Asphalt Green, our daughter attended camp for 4 years, learned to swim, excelled as a gymnast, and now works out at the gym when home from college. Asphalt Green is a great community resource!”
