Recreation

El Centro Del Pueblo Recreational Services is an after-school program with limited services. The program is a City of Los Angeles funded program for at-risk youth in the communities of Echo Park, Temple-Beaudry, Silver Lake, Elysian Valley, Hollywood and the Central City areas.  We service youth and their families from the ages of 4 to adults.

Operating our S. Mark Taper Youth and Family Recreation Center has given us years of experience in organizing parent/child activities. Our facility includes a volley ball court, full basketball court, handball courts, computer lab, library, game room, weight room, dance and exercise room, a boxing center and a kitchen.

Our Recreational Services provides youth and their families with various activities, to help steer them in a more positive direction. Our program represents a comprehensive effort to strengthen neighborhoods, youth, and families by providing activities that effectively protect communities.  The following are services that are provided to our youth and their families:
