Founders Center

The Founders Center is the park district's main facility; it houses the administration office, five meeting rooms/classrooms, a gymnasium, dance studio, kitchen and a large banquet room.  A majority of the park district recreation programs are held here including youth and adult arts and crafts classes, adult exercise programs, youth basketball and volleyball, cooking classes, teen dances and many special events.   

The Founders Center was originally built in 1925 as the Frankfort School building, additions were made including adding a gymnasium in 1938. In 1995 the park district purchased the building and with a few upgrades and a small addition the building became the Founders Center. 

For more information on the various programs held at the Founders Center be sure to visit the Programs section of the web site.
