Erik Reed· 6 months agoThis facility is mismanaged. This is the only city run facility that can't keep to their posted schedule. It is such a slap in the face to all the people who drive there to play Pickleball that are stuck out in the parking lot wondering why they can't post something about a schedule change. The facility itself is great beyond that.
tamalyn scott· 4 years agoI was a signing author at the Authors for Authors Book Fair at the Eau Gallie Civic Center. Parking was plentiful and the center was huge! Art vendors lined the street. It was fantastic!
Tamika Evans· 5 months agoI was there for a wedding the rooms are very spacious.
Pearl Sandifer· a year agoIt was fun to see the many seashells and what they could become at the exhibit in the Eau Gallie Civic Center. I was mostly impressed that the center stayed open for kids to play basketball on a Sunday.
Ward Dougherty· 4 years agoGreat Place to have an event This is a Civic Center located between Pineapple and highland Avenue just to the north of Eau Gallie Blvd. It is across from the public library. It has its own parking lot that fits about 50+ vehicles and there is some street parking along Highland avenue and in the local area. We recently participated in an evening event there and I was very impressed. They have a very large hall that can be split into two halls with a movable wall and separate entrances for both. The even that we attended used one hall for a party and the other for child care. Both groups could not hear the other which was impressive given the movable wall. The one side has a small kitchen and large windows that look out across the parking lot to the river. The location was very clean and easily fit about 300 people, caterers, a DJ, a bar, and a dancing area in the center. The staff was very helpful and attentive to the needs of the setup crew. The bathrooms were in the main part of the building and were clean. If you are having a party, I would recommend looking at this location for holding it due to my experience.
