Are you looking for a place to entertain the kids AND you in East Manatee County? If you are, then you should check out the John H. Marble Recreation Complex (3675 53rd Ave. E., Bradenton FL).

I drive past this place almost every day, and I never realized how much they have to offer, including:

• Pool w/ lifeguards (open in summer)
• 2 tennis courts
• Activity center
• Baseball/ softball field
• Bocce ball
• Fitness center
• Gymnasium
• Playground
• Covered picnic area with grills
• Restrooms
