New Haven Parks and Recreation offices were closed on Monday, December 12, 2016, so that the Park Department Offices could be moved from their current location of 1125 Hartzell Street, New Haven, to the New Haven Community Center, 7500 SR 930 E, Fort Wayne, IN. This move was the first phase in expanding new classes and facility offerings for the department. Staff offices and senior programming are expected to transition from their current location to the new location next week. Early spring, enrichment classes and youth activity classes will move to the new facility. At a future date, anticipated Spring 2017, the fitness facility will open and along with it expanded exercise classes and child-watch.
In 2015, the New Haven Parks and Recreation Department, along with the City of New Haven, purchased the 16,000 square foot facility with the anticipation of fulfilling a long-time dream of creating a Community Center for the area. Once a drive in Movie Theater and Marine Corps league and most recently, an vehicle auction, this facility will now have a permanent home as a recreation facility for the community run by the Parks and Recreation Department. Facility improvements will continue on the property as money becomes available.
