City of Binghamton - Youth and Community Center Engagement

The City of Binghamton is in the planning stages for a new Youth and Community Center to be located at Columbus Park. Building on the outreach that was done in Fall/Winter of 2020 for Park Improvements, the City is looking for your feedback on what types of programs and activities you would like to see at this new Center. Initial thoughts on spaces to be included in the Youth and Community Center are a basketball court, commercial kitchen and community/activity/classrooms.

Your completion of this survey will help in designing the activities and amenities at the new facility. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. This survey is the first step in a series of engagement sessions looking for your input on this new facility.
