Since 1999, the Beverly Community Center has provided a caring and safe environment for the youth in the Texarkana area. Now under the direction of the Texarkana Texas Parks and Recreation Department, the opportunities for success continue to grow.

Enrollment is required to join our program, but at no cost to you. At times there may be a charge for extracurricular activities.
