The Greenbelt Community Center is owned and operated by the City of
Greenbelt Department of Recreation. The building was built in 1937
and was the original Greenbelt Elementary School. The school also served
as the “center” for the community, a place where community
members would gather for dances, use the library or attend Church functions
and meetings. When a new elementary school was built in 1991, the Greenbelt
Recreation Department wishing to preserve this building, acquired grants
and other funds from numerous sources to help refurbish this National
Historic Site to its present status as the Greenbelt Community Center.
Today the Center continues to serve as an integral and active element
of the Greenbelt Community. The Greenbelt Community Center is open
seven days a week, three hundred sixty five days a year from Monday-Saturday
from 9:00am to 10:00pm and on Sundays from 9:00am-7:00pm, except major
holiday's when operating hours are shortened.
