The Southcrest Civic Club built the original building at this site and then donated it to the City of San Diego. Local merchants, residents and labor unions donated materials and labor. The center was dedicated in 1950.
From Interstate 805, take the 43rd Street exit and turn right at the traffic signal. Proceed two blocks and turn left on Newton Avenue. The center is on the left.
The center is accessible by bus via SDMTS Routes 11 and 955.
