Community Center Visioning

Your Community Center.  Your Voice.
We need YOUR help to shape the future of our community centers!  We are beginning a community center reinvestment program where we will focus investments into our community centers after assessing them and engaging the community to hear what they want. The first three centers that we are focusing on are Ed Davis, Patterson Park, and Reservoir Park.  Stay tuned for additional information as we start to move forward with our reinvestment program!
