Neighborhood Centers
For decades, Neighborhood centers have been hubs of community activity. While the people and programs may have changed over the years, the purpose remains the same–to cultivate neighborhoods which support the people who live there.
We continue to find new ways to connect with neighborhood residents this summer. Please contact your neighborhood center staff to learn what has changed, and what is the same, about the programs and services available in your neighborhood. Follow us on Instagram at LynchburgNeighborhood Centers

FACILITY RENEWAL PROJECTS
Parks and Recreation completed facility renewal projects at the Fairview Heights and Yoder Neighborhood Centers, bringing the popular neighborhood hubs into the twenty-first century. These much-needed upgrades improve the quality of public space for Fairview Heights and Tinbridge Hill residents. The newly fashioned centers feature durable finishes, natural materials, and flexible spaces to meet the needs of the community.
The projects were funded through federal Community Development Block Grants, with the support of neighborhood residents, the Community Development and Public Works departments, and City Council. The design for both projects was completed by Virginia A&E; it features flexible interior spaces as well as views of the adjoining parkland and neighborhood.
