Exciting times are coming to Burlingame. The Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce it has been asked by the City Council to work on a Community Center Master Plan.
The current Recreation Center building was built in about 1948 as a dedication and memorial to those who gave their lives in WWII. Over the years it has been remodeled, expanded and repaired many times.

The goal is to develop a planning concept for a community center that will meet the needs of all members of all ages of the Burlingame community that will have a useful life well into the future.
The process will involve working with a professional consulting firm, community members and City staff. It will include several community and stakeholder meetings to identify facility and site needs and conclude with a final written report with a summary of the study findings, process and recommendations to the City Council.
