The community center is a hub of activity, having hosted around 500 kids recently for a youth basketball camp, plus games for seniors. With more instructors being sought for classes, the center continues to engage with the community, providing precious opportunities and fostering connections amongst residents. Palm Beach Gardens even advises residents on interim program locations to ensure everyone remains engaged while improvements roll out.

This weekend is shaping up to be a delightful mix of fun, celebration, and community engagement.
