Murrieta Youth Center Grand Opening Events Planned

The public is invited to help the City of Murrieta and its Community Services Department celebrate the recent completion of the new Murrieta Youth Center.

Grand opening festivities will kick off with a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 16 at the 6,000-square-foot facility located off California Oaks Road, behind Rite Aid and California Oaks Sports Park.

Until 2 p.m., Youth Center staff will be on hand offering discounted memberships, tours of the facility and information on activities.

“The Murrieta Youth Center’s goal is to serve as a positive alternative space for youth of Murrieta to socialize, educate, and develop as productive members of the community. This goal is met through peer to peer mentoring, responsible empowerment, educational programming, and through strong positive supervision,” according a city news release.

Additional grand opening festivities—for youth only—will carry on into the Thanksgiving holiday week with challenges, activities and prizes for youth in grades sixth through ninth. The Murrieta Youth Center will be giving away great prizes for those in attendance with a grand prize drawing for an iPad.
