The Coconut Creek Community Center is one of the best parts of living in Coconut Creek. We even…read morehave two centers. This is the one in the south end of the city. The first community center in the city was the Rowe Community Center. it was much smaller and no longer met the needs of the growing city so this center was built in 2004. The building is two stories and is very beautiful and well maintained. The first floor of the center holds the reception desk, offices, meeting rooms, the senior center, bathrooms and a gymnasium. There is a large reception room with an attached kitchen. I rented it one year for my daughter's birthday party. It is also used for community meetings and voting. You can find all of the notices of upcoming events tacked to the bulletin board opposite the reception desk. The second floor contains more meeting rooms and a game room that can be used by the public. The community center hosts many events for the residents of the city for all ages. There are programs for kids, activities for seniors, sports teams, and classes. They hold a day camp every summer, after school programs, and provide child care to help parents when school is out. My daughter took dance classes, art classes, and attended many of the children's programs through the years. Later on she earned volunteer hours for high school by volunteering at the recreation programs. The recreation department does an incredible job of creating programs for the city. Everything they present is free or with a reasonable fee. People from outside the city can attend the programs put they have to pay extra to do so. Outside the community center is a large park that contains two playgrounds and a newly refurbished basketball court. On any given night you will see families and kids riding bikes, playing basketball, and enjoying the playgrounds. There is a lake that separates the community center from Windmill Park. Once Windmill Park is reopened it will be a nice walk between the community center and the park that is getting a major make over. Outside there is also a band shell that hosts free concerts usually once a month and movies outside. On the East side of the property there is picturesque bridge that leads from the community center to the brand new fire station. Through the years I have attended a lot of the community center programs. I have voted here and celebrated here. I have also made friends with the recreation staff who are some of the nicest people I know. The residents of Coconut Creek are fortunate to have such a great recreation staff and a beautiful building that houses all they have to offer.

The beautiful, state of the art, Johnny L. Tigner Community Center is a crown jewel for Deerfield Beach. It was named in honor of Johnny L. Tigner who was born in Georgia but grew up in Deerfield Beach. He was well regarded for spearheading many city initiatives including Big 3 Basketball, Family Kickball, Family Fun Day, and Women's Flag Football. He worked at many athletic events in positions as varied as selling concessions, officiating games, or operating the PA system in his distinctive voice. He especially had a heart for the youth in the community and strived to make Deerfield Beach a better place to live. Community Center amenities include a BSO sub station, ballroom, kitchen, and outdoor patio. Upstairs there is a multipurpose room, dance studio, and a production studio. The community center is available for private rentals with a discounted price for Deerfield Beach city residents. I attended an event in the ballroom that was created to benefit the Deerfield Beach Historical Society. Titled George Was Here, it was a photographic exhibit of pictures of former Beatle George Harrison and his then wife Pattie Boyd and the Beatles' assistant Mal Evans on a 10 day trip to Deerfield Beach in November of 1970. It took place after the break up of the Beatles. Harrison came to visit his aunt and uncle and he stayed at the Shore Road Inn, now known as Pier Walk. Just before the trip he put the finishing touches on his solo album, "All Things Must Pass." In 2024, 18 never-before-seen photographs of Harrison were found at a Deerfield Beach apartment building owned by his maternal uncle and aunt, Edmund and Mimi French. To protect his privacy, many locals kept the secret of Harrison's visit for over 50 years. Fun fact, Florida has another Beatles break up connection. John Lennon signed the legal papers dissolving the Beatles on December 29, 1974, while staying at the Polynesian Village Resort at Disney World in Orlando. The event was very interesting and it benefitted a great organization which strives to preserve the history of the city. I also enjoyed checking out this new community center. In addition to the photographs and historical information, there was light bites from the Deerfield Beach Historical Society, beer, wine, and soda for sale, event posters for sale, and a live band playing George Harrison's music. This was a reminder of just how much Deerfield Beach has to offer. George Was Here is for two nights only, concluding today.

The center's construction began in June 2018, and it was completed in 2020, earning LEED v4.1 Gold certification for Existing Buildings. I got a chance to check out the inside and was impressed of the building. This community center in Cresthaven is named after Charlotte Burrie, a former Commissioner and Vice Mayor. She was an advocate for building a community center in the Cresthaven neighborhood of Pompano Beach. She served as a city commissioner from 2007 until 2018. The community center has an lobby and reception area, administrative offices, small conference room, auditorium with stage and dressing rooms, warming kitchen and two multi-purpose activity rooms. Programs held here include line dancing, Silver Sneakers, yoga, bunco, karate, jazzercise, and Zumba classes. There is also a community board game night. There are flyers for all kinds of events posted in the community center and a listing of dates and times on the website. This community center serves as a hub for cultural, civic, and recreational activities in a building that was designed with a focus on accessibility and functionality. Community centers provide inclusive spaces for diverse groups to meet, learn, and grow which reduces the feeling of isolation while empowering community members with skills. Providing affordable recreational and wellness programs is a vital component of a communities well being and the Charlotte Burrie Community Center does an excellent job of meeting this need.

Their website updates on Tuesdays at 5pm for new appointments: https://www.boynton-beach.org/news/covid I made my appointment online and received a confirmation email with a link to cancel or reschedule if needed. They provided a link to a form I could fill out ahead of time and bring with me. I was actually able to make an appointment for my husband for the exact same time slot, which was incredible convenient. Instructions were very clear: arrive no earlier than 15 minutes. 2 Police officers blocked the entrance and took our names, and directed us to park in what seemed like the back of the building. It was not immediately clear where we were supposed to go after that, since we were in the back, but since the only oher people who had been admitted were also getting the vaccine, we just followed other people to find a socially distanced line snaking around the building next to a chain link fence. Another police officer checked for the appointment times, more people took our form and looked at our id and told us when our 2nd shot would be. We followed the line into the building where we got a small white vaccination card. Firefighters gave us the first Moderna shot. A swift process! We were then told to write our own names on the card and take a photo so we'd have a copy of it. We then sat in a boring, blank room with paced out metal folding chairs while we waited too see if we had any reactions. It was very quiet in there. This was bare bones service with little info about what to note about reactions afterwards (and no actual checking of this). All in all, I appreciate the massive staffing efforts here to vaccinate multiple people in 15 minute time slots. They have an efficient, well-run machine of a system going on here. We did not have to wait for anything and the instructions given ahead of time were very clear. Thanks, City of Boynton Beach and all the folks who staffed this Center!

A good community center offers varied opportunities for its residents of all ages. This community center is located in Pompano Beach and was named after Pompano Beach city pioneer, Elijah Pat Larkins. Mr. Larkins grew up during segregation and fought for civil rights. He became the first African-American Mayor of Pompano Beach where he served seven terms as mayor nineteen years as a City Commissioner. I stopped by the E Pat Larkins Community Center for a tag sale called Nana's Closet. I chance to peel inside and was impressed with how nice this community center is. It has a main auditorium with a stage and dressing rooms that can be rented for banquets. There is also a classroom. Upcoming events include a movie might, bingo, line dancing, game night, intergalactic bead show, and painting with a twist.

The grounds and inside of the building were pristine. Everything was so immaculate you'd think the building was brand new. The staff inside were very helpful. We also picked up some brochure on other upcoming Pompano Beach cultural and art events. Inside the community center, they have a large main auditorium used for meetings and banquets. They also offer various classes like yoga, et al, senior prom, bingo nights, and many other events.
