Welcome to Highland Park’s newest state-of-the-art community center! The new West Ridge Community Center addresses community needs and will serve our residents for decades to come. 

The new gymnastics center expands from 3,500 square feet at Centennial Ice Arena to 10,000 square feet at the new facility. The larger space supports our growing gymnastics program and includes an area for preschoolers with age-appropriate equipment, state-of-the-art equipment for women’s Olympic events, an enlarged pit area, an in-ground trampoline, and a 40-foot in-ground Tumbl Trak. The new dance studio is designed to meet the specialized needs of performers, with proper size, floor, lighting, sound, and ceiling height.

The new Center also features three flexible enrichment rooms that open to an outdoor space. The rooms are home to our ParkSchool, summer camps, art classes, and other multi-generational programs, and will be available for private rentals.

The new Community Rooms will be available for meetings and events. The room opens onto a large event lawn. Guests at events, parties, or meetings can enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces. The room features sliding glass doors and screens that let in fresh air and is an extraordinary gathering space for all ages.

Coming in 2027 is the new relocated Safety Village. Stay tuned!
