 Fashioned as “the largest family room in the neighborhood,”
Casey’s Place
is 20,000 square feet of open space of endless possibilities
for KIDS!
Our facility, which once housed a large building materials
store, is now home to batting cages, video arcade games,
dozens of picnic tables and a lounge area with a big-screen
TV. There is a pool table, air hockey and Foosball.
Basketball courts are in a former loading area and a
wiffleball stadium fills the space where plants were
once sold. A “Wall
of Fame”
spans fifty feet featuring photos helping to build self-esteem
and recognize our youth. The furnishings are mainly
donated and banners from the local
soccer and baseball leagues
decorate the walls.
On any given day, you might find a group of senior
adults enjoying conversation or dozens of elementary
students working with volunteer tutors in our Educational
and Recreational Mentoring Program. From a
small Girl Scout Daisy
Troop to a softball
league of 300 players, the flexibility to suit
the needs of any particular group and offers a variety
of activities that bring community members together
makes Casey’s Place
a focal point within our neighborhood.
 More than just a physical location, Casey’s
Place is part of a concept that members of
individual communities can pool their resources to
fund such a facility in their own backyard. Our business
model relies upon revenues generated through community
consumption, sponsorship, and donations from the community
both private and corporate.
