Norris Community Center
The Norris Community Center, which opened in March 2004, has an auditorium with stage, two meeting rooms, dance studio, conference room, game room, art gallery, and an amphitheater. The center offers many cultural and recreation classes including, watercolor class, open painting class, adult dance, acting, and languages. During holidays there are a variety of camp programs and special performances for families. The center is home to Gulfshore Playhouse, which is a proud winner of the Star Choice Award for Live Theater and was also named "best of Gulfshore", and other local theater groups.
Parks & Recreation Online
The Parks & Recreation Online is a comprehensive informational site with facility information, program listings and online registration. You may view facility rental availability and information; however rentals must be completed in person at one of the City's Community Centers.
Ambassador Program
At the present we have Ambassadors serving the Naples Preserve, The Norris Center, River Park Community Center and the City Manager's office. They work as greeters, guides, ushers, tutors, event assistants, park rangers and reception. The work of the Ambassadors is worthwhile, fun and educational. Bring your interests and your experiences to the City of Naples Ambassador program. Ambassadors bring a broad range of skills to the program. However, orientation and training is provided as needed.
