About Us
The Noble Park Community Centre was established in 1956 to engage the local youth within Noble Park via numerous recreational activities such as gymnastics, indoor bowls, and basketball. The aim of the centre was to offer a productive outlet for recreation and provide young people with a sense of inclusion within their community. Since its inception the Centre has become a member of Neighbourhood House Victoria and taken on a model of socialinclusion and engagement.
Over the last 67 years the Centre has evolved to meet the changing needs of the local community, adding more recreational activities such as calisthenics, tai chi and yoga, and including programs such as English classes, and cultural groups for the growing multicultural communities.
Noble Park Community Centre is a not-for-profit organisation & regsitered charity based in Noble Park, approximately 26km south-east of Melbourne, committed to the principles of community development including inclusion, empowerment, responsiveness, equity, integrity, and sustainability. We are run by the community for the community. We celebrate diversity by providing an inclusive and welcoming environment where members and supporters can meet, socialise, and learn.
We offer a broad range of classes and programs to empower participants to explore new skills and gain confidence in all areas of life.
