Belmont Community Center Celebrates 85th Anniversary Serving Lincoln

Lincoln’s Belmont Community Center will celebrate their 85th anniversary of serving north Lincoln on August 20th.

“We’re thrilled to host our neighbors and the broader Lincoln community to celebrate this important milestone in the Belmont community,” noted BCC Executive Director Emily Koopmann.

The BCC has been a community grounded and student centered organization for 85 years. It opened in 1937 in the former Congregational Church on Butler Avenue. The current space was built in 1955 as a result of community efforts to fund and build a facility to promote individual growth in the presence of community. The community center includes a baseball field, gymnasium, meeting space, and preschool classroom.

As part of the larger Belmont Campus, including Belmont Elementary & CLC, the Belmont Rec Center, and Educare, the BCC offers various programming for youth ages 3-13 years old. Programs include before and after school care, early childhood education, and the use of their facility by other organizations such as AA and the YWCA.

The August 20th celebration invites community members from across Lincoln to celebrate at the Belmont Community Center located at 3335 N 12th St. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The anniversary celebration is completely free to the public and will include live music, face painting, yard games and inflatables, food trucks, prizes and more.
