El Centro Del Pueblo Recreational Services and Activities
El Centro Del Pueblo’s Recreational Program began operating in March 2003 with the completion of the outdoor Sports Field and playground. General recreational activities, such as, Basketball, Volleyball and Handball was provided on a weekday basis. El Centro Del Pueblo received funding from the City of Los Angeles Community Development Department in April 2003, to provide supervised and organized sports and recreational activities as well as general recreational activities. With the completion of El Centro’s S. Mark Taper Youth Center in August 2003, the recreational program further expanded to include indoor activities including Internet Room, Sports Library, Weightlifting, Dance Studio, Boxing and a Game Room with pool tables, foosball, air hockey and table tennis.
