Oak Park Community Center and Complex Celebrates 25 Years of Service to the Community

Saturday, October 8, 2005, Noon to 4 p.m., Oak Park Community Center at 3425 Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd.

Sacramento, California, September 20, 2005 – On October 8, 2005, the Oak Park Community Center and Complex will celebrate 25 years of valued service to the residents of Oak Park.  The Oak Park Community Center was established in 1980 to provide social, recreational, education and cultural programs for youth and teens of the community. 

In addition, the residents had health and social welfare needs.  From this the Oak Park Neighborhood Multi-Service Center was developed.  The Center is operated by the County of Sacramento’s Department of Health and Human Services, in collaboration with the Department of Assistance and Probation and La Familia Agency.  Rounding out the Complex is the City of Sacramento Fire Station #6, which is one of the busiest fire stations in the nation; and Father Keith B. Kenney Elementary School, which produces scholars in Oak Park.

“The Oak Park Community Center and Complex is a cherished place for the residents, children and teens to recreate, learn, be among friends and receive valuable services from the City and County of Sacramento,” said Councilmember Lauren Hammond.  “The wonderful staff provides an array of family services open and ready to serve the community’s needs.”

The celebration on October 8th begins with a parade at 11 a.m. (Alhambra and Broadway) and ends at the Oak Park Community Center and Complex, followed by a brief ceremony, food and celebration.  For further information, please contact Alan Tomiyama at (916) 808-8958.
