About
At the west edge of Magnolia Village, Magnolia Community Center is located on the Magnolia Playfield and shares a block with the summer-only Mounger Pool. The playfield can accommodate football, soccer, softball and/or baseball, and also features two play areas and four tennis courts.
Built in 1952 and renovated in 2025, the multi-story center has classic charm and is connected to Catharine Blaine Elementary K-8 School. The community center and school was the first construction project that was jointly built by Seattle Parks and Recreation and Seattle Public Schools. The entrance has a lobby with a nice sitting area overlooking the gym, and is lit by natural light coming through the atrium ceiling. The main level has two multipurpose rooms designed for youth programming, and a pottery room.
Magnolia has a year-round preschool program and, during the school year, a school-age care program that fills to capacity. Teen programs and teen camps are also popular. Magnolia Community Center hosts four seasonal events: Spring Egg Hunt, Magnolia Summer Fest, Lil Spooky Halloween Carnival for Toddlers and the annual Gingerbread House Decorating Party. Senior programs are also well attended.
