The Twin Lakes Sports Complex does not only host local recreational sports teams; it also offers memberships.

The membership comes with benefits like an indoor 1/5-mile rubberized track, five basketball courts, an indoor turf field, an expanded weight room, a cardio studio, two group exercise studios, free group exercise for members, and discounted personal training packages. The Bloomington Recreation Basketball League uses the 5 basketball courts that they have to run their Youth basketball league.

People like Tinley Jablonski have played, too.

Not only has benefits as an athletic complex but has a good basketball league where kids can get moving, make friendships, and have fun doing it. Personally, I think the complex is nice, fun, and a way to make friends. You should give it a try.
