Community Centers
The City of Chattanooga’s community centers reflect the needs of the communities in which they are located, with dedicated advisory councils to help inform both the services and programs provided by staff and volunteers. As part of the plan to shift resources back into neighborhoods and communities, programs such as those previously offered through the Office of Family Empowerment on West 12th Street, as well as workforce development and assistance opportunities, will be available in more accessible locations within Community Centers. These centers will become front doors to city-offered services as we work to build a government that provides a network of programs, places, and relationships embedded in neighborhoods across Chattanooga.
The City of Chattanooga is proud to offer 18 community centers, offering a variety of education, activities, rental space, and more. Each center is listed below with a list of amenities, pictures, and a schedule of ongoing activities for youth and adults.
All Centers open Monday-Friday 11:30am-8pm and Saturday 10:30-6pm. Brainerd and South Chattanooga are open Monday-Friday 9am-8pm and Saturday 10:30-6pm. (Times may vary in the summer and during school breaks).
Wyatt YFD Center Open Monday-Thursday 9am-8pm, Friday 9am-6:30pm and Saturdays 9am-5:30pm.
