This place is the best because it has so much fun stuff
— Griffin (Age 5)

The Pine Community Center was created to give youth a safe, fun, and educational place to spend time. With a large variety of books on the shelves, craft supplies, air hockey, pool, ping pong, and more youth can socialize, play and learn whenever our doors are open. 

To this day we provide summer camp and youth activities and enrichment for all ages year round.
