This state-of-the-art facility represents the transformation of a dilapidated, 120-year-old building into a beacon of hope and opportunity for Germantown’s youth. The 27,000-square-foot facility features a full gym, Center, Kids Café, Literacy Center, STEM Lab, Art Studio, Tech Center, Social Recreation Room, and outdoor recreation space boasting regulation-sized playing fields, two playgrounds, a splash park, and a reflection garden.
