Big League Dreams in League City, I believe.

Grew up there.

It is still open, with a high chance of violent crime nearby.

It is mindboggling to me that this place is still open. I remember going as a kid shortly after they first opened. I would've never guessed that they would outlast the Target and Toys R Us less than a block away.

If Speedy's Fast Track on Hempstead Hwy had these, it would be the perfect retro hangout place.

The mastermind of the killings was a high school classmate of one of my roommates at A&M.

He was voted "Most Likely to Spend Time in Prison" his senior year.

I don't think those pitching machines there have worked in a long time.

Not coin operated but any D-Bat location you can buy cage sessions off the machines there.

That's what I'm talking about! Closest thing to the old castle golf and games complex from the early 80s (and I vaguely remember another one maybe in the Sharpstown area, maybe close to HBU)

Same...it's a nostalgic time warp. Very few of those remaining. Used to have little league post season celebrations and bday parties there in the 80's and 90's. Happy that place is still in existence and seemingly doing well.

Those water slides did not feel very safe
We used to jump out of them in the old "mine shaft" parts..they had walkways up there...then scare other kids as they slid past.

My older sister's boyfriend was a lifeguard that worked there, one time after we did this he saw us slide down and asked me if we were up there....No Gregg, we were not. LOL Good times!

Haha I totally forgot about this. Amazing times. We lived pretty far away, but a few times our mother dropped us off so she could run errands at Willowbrook. I remember being jealous of kids that lived near there.
