Community Centers

The City manages and provides to the citizens of Albuquerque 24 community centers. Each center provides an assortment of programs and activities that meet community needs and promote community involvement in recreation, cultural activities, education, health and family life activities. Community Centers offer before and after school programs for school age children (from 6 through 12 years old) and youth, but programs and hours of operation of each center will vary. Community Centers offer computers for usage by the general public but users have to abide by the Community Centers Computer Lab Policy . Please contact a specific Community Center for program and registration information.

Community Centers are available for rental to the general public for special events. All events have a rental fee, deposits, insurance requirements, and City permits/licenses for different types of usage. Renters and event attendees are required to comply with City rules and regulations. For more information on renting a facility, call 767-5834 from 8 am-5 pm, Monday through Friday, or fax 767-5863.

As always, we encourage you to provide us feedback, not only on the services we provide, but this website as well. Our goal is to make this site a place you visit frequently to get information.
