Community Center

Welcome! The Truro Community Center is a 9,000 square foot facility which opened in 2009. The mission of the Truro Community Center is to provide facilities for Truro residents (year-round residents and non-resident taxpayers) to engage in recreational, social, educational, cultural, community service, civic, and governmental activities. The Center provides opportunities for persons of all ages to participate in a wide range of programs that educate and stimulate the public, enhance self-confidence, and promote mental and physical health.

The Community Center facilities, equipment and grounds (exclusive of the Puma Park Playground) are first and foremost for the use of residents of the Town of Truro through the regularly scheduled programs of the Council on Aging and the Recreation & Beach Department.
