Coronado Celebrates New Spreckels Center and Bowling Green

CORONADO, CA – City officials and community members celebrated Carlsbad’s new John D. Spreckels Center and Bowling Green with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Dec. 8.

Owned and operated by the city, Spreckels Center replaced the senior citizen center that stood at 1019 Seventh St. for decades. The new 9,010-square-foot building features a multipurpose room, activity room, service kitchen, office space, lounge, lawn bowling club room and restroom. Beginning in February, it will offer a variety of programs and services including health, fitness and wellness programs, volunteer and civic engagement opportunities, educational and arts programs, and intergenerational programs.

Ground was broken on the facility in January, and construction continued through the summer and fall, with a significant portion of the funding for the project coming from the Frances Harpst Trust.
