Mercer Island Boys & Girls Club
4.5Mercer Island, WA
Ages 5–18About this program
Island branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County, based at The PEAK on the Mercer Island High School campus. Its 17,000 sq ft field house hosts the club's own youth athletics - Rec Basketball and the PEAK League for grades 3-8, Basketball Academy, volleyball clinics, and flag and tackle football - alongside after-school and camp programming for K-12 kids.
Reviewers describe a big, clean, updated facility with four full-size basketball courts running at once and bleacher seating, and call it a great venue for camps and after-school activities. Staff and caregivers are described as experienced and engaging, and parking is usually sufficient.
Google reviews describe the PEAK field house as a venue - court quality, parking, general drop-in and event use - more than the club's specific youth sports programs, so they are limited evidence about coaching. The consistent facility complaint is that the gym has no air conditioning and gets hot enough to tire kids out quickly; a couple of reviewers also noted litter on the outside grounds.
