transmitter building This newly restored facility is over 3,100 square feet and accommodates gymnastics classes, open playtime and other recreational programs.

This facility is a historic World War II building whose purpose during WW II was to facilitate the transmission of messages from the Pacific Fleet. The restoration process has been sensitive to the important design elements and materials from the era into the building’s rebirth.
