Top 5 Community Centers in United States

10 Grand Army Plz, Brooklyn, NY 11238, United States

“The appearance of the library containing books is shaped like a huge book. Would you believe me if I came just to see the front door? You must take my word for it. Because of course there are things to see around the library as well. There is a park where you can relax. On the first floor of the library, there is a cafe where you can buy tea and snacks, and the restrooms are clean. This place especially has a lot of records and video-related materials. There are many special programs for children, so take note! Another advantage is that the materials are well divided into separate rooms and sections. Above all, the security guard at the desk was very friendly and nice.”

“A wonderful place to escape and literally "stop and smell the roses". It is so peaceful and a great chance to explore. I had no idea that roses had sweet, fruity, smells! Very relaxing place to be. I deducted a start because not all of the roses have name plates so I wouldn't be able to know what which are, and the pond in the middle was a bit disheveled and not enough water for the fish. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and made sweet memories.”

210 E 400 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, United States

“I have been coming here for years. Such a great public library that is well organized and super accessible. The construction itself is awesome and I believe has won awards. It has evolved and changed slightly over the years but it continues to serve the community in a great way. I highly recommend.”

“In my experience they make getting help if you're homeless just about impossible! You call, you get an answering machine and it tells you that you need to get an appointment, to get an appointment you have to call between these TWO specific hours on this SPECIFIC day. Then you're told that there ARE NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE AGAIN, at this time!! Really?! When you're homeless, if it's specifically Monday, and you're calling on a Tuesday, 6 days away, before it's Monday again and you can call AGAIN to get told AGAIN that there are NO APPOINTMENTS, seems an eternity!!! I would NEVER HAVE THOUGHT that I would become homeless, but sometimes life throws you a curveball, I now have a brand new understanding of what the homeless people go through and my heart GOES OUT TO THEM! God bless them!! There really is JUST NO HELP FOR THE HOMELESS. So be understanding to them!! When you're out there in the same clothes you have been in for weeks and months, having ONLY WHAT YOU CAN CARRY AROUND WITH YOU, You become so hopeless and frustrated and you go to the internet looking for every organization that you possibly can that gives you SO MUCH MISINFORMATION, and you need to go HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE TO HAVE "INTAKES", and you don't have a car either, and you can't even scrape together enough coins to take a bus or light rail so you miss the INTAKE appointment...So you START OVER and call, tell them you're situation, how DESPITE AND FRIGHTENED AND HUNGRY AND TIRED AND DISAPPOINTED YOU ARE...So here you are again, making ANOTHER appointment hoping that on that day you'll have enough change to take a bus. Yada Yada, YADA!!!! Be KIND TO THE HOMELESS PEOPLE YOU SEE ON THE STREET!!! Say "HI, HOW YOU DOIN?! ACKNOWLEDGE THEM!!! SMILE FOR THEM!!! THEY ARE JUST LIKE THE REST OF US, EXCEPT LIFE THREW THIS HORRIFIC, FRIGHTENING, HOPELESS, CURVEBALL AT THEM!!! THEY'RE DOING THE BEST THAT THEY CAN!! Nobody, NOBODY WANTS TO BE LIVING IN THE STREETS, PARKS, UNDERPASSES, SHOPPING CENTERS ETC!! They are doing the best that they can but it really IS a hopeless situation!!@”

99 Trinity St, Hartford, CT 06123, United States

“One of the oldest public municipal parks in the US, it's located in the heart of the city. There's limited roadside parking, and we had to cross the street to get to it. The water in the moat is full of algae, and the fountains are doing a good job of keeping it as clean as possible. There are benches for people to sit and take on the view. There were sparrows taking mud baths, which was very cute to watch as there's water right next to them. But there's a purpose to it. There were a few shady characters and a couple of guys who were riding their scooters inside the park very loudly. Was not sure how it was permitted in the park. Never seen a motorized vehicle in any park before.”

100 Jefferson County Pkwy Suite 2560, Golden, CO 80401, United States

“I want to applaud the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder's office for making getting a marraige license so easy. My fiance and I couldn't get an appointment in Denver, so we checked out Jeff Co. There were tons of appointments available. The county government building was beautiful and had ample parking. We were in and out within 20 minutes, license in hand. This is how government is supposed to work!”

“Went there to play a table tennis tournament and I have to say I was very very impressed. The community center is very clean, big, very nice facility and the tournament organizer Hiep was extremely friendly and helpful. I would give this a 6/5 stars if I could and will definitely be back here more in the future.”

“Need I say more than the PIC OF A ZAMBONI!? ;) Huge complex. Wonderful staff. Many classes, including outdoor adventures (seasonally)! LOVE THE HUGE POOL! And an AMAZING indoor kids' pool!”

5215 Oakton St, Skokie, IL 60077, United States

“I just came across the library and took both my kids aged 4 and 9 to the library. It has so many things to do, for all age group. The best staff who are always there to help, very clean space, good place to meet new people. If you want to leave the busy life and want a calm and peaceful place, then this is the spot. Do make a library card for easy access to borrow the wide collection they have…”

“The Valley Community Center is a really nice facility for a craft show. My sisters and I were very impressed with the venue as a craft show venue.”

“Pretty cool to visit NASA HQ even though I was there on business. Always nice to see some of the really cool technology the Agency uses. The gift shop had some really great deals, surprisingly! I wish I could've seen more. But business called, lol!”

1000 Avocado Ave, Newport Beach, CA 92660, United States

“I love everything about this facility. Extensive collections of books, audiobooks, research materials, audio labs, podcast labs, computers to borrow, study rooms, plenty of free garage parking, free Wi-Fi with fast internet, spacious, nice panoramic views for your creativity, children sections, very clean space, and academically stimulating atmosphere! Getting your library card is so quick and easy, the staff is helpful and hospitable. Perfect place to get things done and be in the zone of knowledge and productivity. Thank you for welcoming me into such an incredible visit, I will absolutely be coming back here soon.”

200 W Green St, Champaign, IL 61820, United States

“I have never lived in a town with such a dynamic library! There are writers programs, and programs to help people who want to start businesses, and they are building expanded facilities in the basement for doing sound recordings...oh, yeah, and they have books. I've seen libraries that want to do away with books. Which seems dumb to me. They have a great collection of videos, too. My favorite part, though, is walking into the building. The lobby is an art gallery with a new installation of art every season. It never fails to make me smile when I walk in!”

7900 Edgewater Dr, Oakland, CA 94621, United States

“I came here as a volunteer and sign up was seamless. I went to their site online and chose the time that fits my schedule. I volunteered for the morning session but you can do both to include the afternoon. You must make a reservation to volunteer ahead of time as they do not accept drop ins. There are several ways you can volunteer, I chose the produce sorting. If it's your first time here, you will need to arrive 15 minutes early and spend about 10-15 minutes for their new volunteer orientation. There is a 15 minutes break between 8:30am - 12pm morning shift. The last 30 minutes of your shift will consist of cleanup for the next volunteers. You will be assigned a lead volunteer to get you familiarize with your task and I must say, they were amazing. I would also like to say that the whole staff here were fantastic and extremely very helpful. I would highly recommend them if you're looking to give back to the community. Cheers!”

“What a fun pool! I've lived in pdx my whole life and never visited. Very limited capacity, HOWEVER! If you only want to swim for an hour or so, you can come halfway through open swim and there is no wait. Lifeguards were great! Front desk staff great! Snacks and towels and goggles available for purchase. Fun day!”

1400 Oakman Blvd, Detroit, MI 48238, United States

“I'm not really sure what the picture is showing but I never been to focus hope that look like that but they do have good stuff food boxes also they give you juice and lots of cheese but other than that each Focus hope has something different so it's up to you whether you want to go to the west side or the east side”

This will be the only place I go now with any future needs and will always ask for her! She is the best!!! Thank you so much Camille!! Love- Robert & Erika Brice ❤️”

“My 16 year old asked me to go online a month ago to get us signed up for a Saturday. Super proud of this kid. He's got such a huge heart.”

600 Soledad St, San Antonio, TX 78205, United States

“We had a great time here. This is a very large and beautiful library with what seems like millions of books. I used to bring my kids here when it was brand new in the late 90s and early 2000s. It brings back many good memories . It still looks good. There were plenty of staff eager to help. They also had a Texas genealogy room that piqued my interest. I will definitely return to look up my roots and ancestors.”
