All ages can find a wide selection of recreation programs here where cultural diversity is celebrated. The Centre opened in 1981 and was renovated in 2005 which added a childcare centre, activity room and youth lounge to allow for increased programming. The Centre, along with Champlain Heights Community School serve as the epicenter of the City-planned housing development which was designed to include a diversity of housing types such as social housing, apartments, single family dwellings and condominiums.

Featured here are the popular fitness centre, squash and racquetball courts, and licensed childcare. Numerous specialty programs and clubs include Southeast Vancouver Arts, & Cultural Society, Evergreen Tai Chi Club and Champlain Karate Club. Community groups such as Guiding and Scouting Troops, Chinese School, Fraser Health Cardiac Rehabilitation program, South Community Health Office and the Developmental Disabilities Association also utilize the Centre and Community School.

Not far from the community centre, Everett Crowley Park, a nearly 40 hectare reserve offers numerous trails with fantastic views of the Fraser River and Richmond farmlands. Champlain Heights Community Association is the chief steward of this unique refuge which once served as a City landfill. The thriving vegetation and wildlife at Everett Crowley Park are a testament to nature's ability to heal and this community's dedication to facilitating that ongoing process
