The Central Ringwood Community Centre is located among the trees in the beautiful Bedford Park, within easy walking distance of public transport.
We are a not-for-profit organisation, providing a diverse range of programs and services, including adult education courses, recreational programs, health and wellbeing programs, support groups, and venue hire. We provide these services with a particular focus on meeting the needs of people who are disadvantaged, marginalised or ‘at risk’ within our community. We have designed all our activities to be as low cost as possible, and we offer a warm, welcoming and informal environment.
We are committed to helping our community more forward to a greener and more sustainable future, and we are proud to have developed the Bedford Park Community Garden, a place of community, environment and education. Everyone is welcome to come along to participate, forage, learn and share.
