Thank you to Hassan Tanana at the front desk who went above and beyond to help my grandfather today who was signing up as a new member. Hassan went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of and able to enjoy the great facility.

Thank you to Hassan Tanana at the front desk who went above and beyond to help my grandfather today who was signing up as a new member. Hassan went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of and able to enjoy the great facility.
My first visit to this wonderful facility to hear a truly world class brass band. The sound is wonderful, the seating is comfortable, the sight lines are terrific, and navigating around the facility is very smooth and easy.
This place is terrible very racist and they do not like Black people every time I am there they give me weird looks and I was kicked out me and my kids for having some fun in the pool. This is ridiculous. I will never be coming back here again the most racist place I’ve ever been to end Dearborn.
Very disappointed with the leadership and professionalism at the Dearborn Civic Center. When I attempted to address a concern through the proper chain of command, I found a troubling lack of accountability, integrity, and respect. A community facility funded by taxpayers deserves leadership that upholds fairness,…

This place is terrible very racist and they do not like Black people every time I am there they give me weird looks and I was kicked out me and my kids for having some fun in the pool. This is ridiculous. I will never be coming back here again the most racist place I’ve ever been to end Dearborn.
A beautiful, well-kept and well-run facility.
It was clean slide and did to help us if we got drowned
Very disappointed with the leadership and professionalism at the Dearborn Civic Center. When I attempted to address a concern through the proper chain of command, I found a troubling lack of accountability, integrity, and respect. A community facility funded by taxpayers deserves leadership that upholds fairness, transparency, and strong ethical standards. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I hope meaningful changes are made because our community deserves much better.
