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, transparency, and strong ethical standards. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I hope meaningful changes are made because our community deserves much better.
