social center

Neighborhood meeting spot

A social center is a place where people gather for community activities, recreation, and interaction.

It may be a dedicated building or facility offering programs, classes, and events for residents of a neighborhood or members of an organization.

Senior centers, community centers, and youth clubs all function as social centers.

The term can also describe a person who naturally attracts others and becomes the hub of social activity in a group.
