The John Landes Community Center in Oceanside’s Tri City neighborhood has been reactivated with renovations, new services and programs, the addition of a Library, and new skate area elements will be coming soon to the park.
After the expiration of a lease agreement with Mira Costa College in June, and with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, the John Landes Community Center facility received fresh paint throughout the building, new flooring in select rooms, a Library area, computers for community use, upgraded restroom fixtures, and new fencing and lighting. Additional facility improvements included a shade structure in the patio areas and an upgrade to the patio play area is to be completed by Spring 2023.
The first programming reactivated at the facility was Parks and Recreation’s “Sunsational Summer Camp” program. Additional activities added is an after school program, recreational programs such as dance and tumbling, and adult programs like Aikido and Aerobics. The Landes Community Center is located at 2855 Cedar Road and is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
