Visit Citrus Springs: Community Events, Walking, Meetings & Large Hall Rentals

Citrus Springs Community Center is a Citrus County community and event facility at 1570 W Citrus Springs Boulevard, Citrus Springs, FL 34434. It is best known as a venue for community meetings, civic functions, club activities, book sales, educational events, concerts, receptions and other large gatherings.

This is not a typical public recreation center with a swimming pool, membership fitness center and daily sports schedule. Most visitors come for a specific event, community activity, indoor walking period, public meeting or facility rental.

What Kind of Community Center Is This?

Large Event Venue

The banquet space supports major community events, conferences, receptions, sales and other high-attendance gatherings.

Meeting Space

Smaller meeting space supports clubs, public meetings, classes and community organizations.

Civic Meeting Location

Citrus Springs advisory meetings and other government or public-information sessions have regularly used Building B.

Community Groups

Local sewing, quilting and other community organizations have used the center for recurring gatherings and charitable work.

Public Events

The facility has hosted concerts, expos, book sales, educational programs, charity functions and community outreach events.

Election Use

Citrus County Elections currently lists the Community Center as the polling location for Precinct 110, South Citrus Springs.

Banquet Hall & Meeting Room Capacity

A current local facility-rental directory verified in June 2026 lists two principal rentable options:

Space Published capacity Typical uses
Banquet Hall Up to approximately 500 Wedding receptions, large celebrations, conferences, sales, fundraisers and community events
Meeting Room Approximately 20–60 Club meetings, classes, workshops, small gatherings and organizational meetings
Capacity depends on the setup. A 500-person auditorium or standing layout does not mean 500 guests will fit with banquet tables, a stage, buffet lines, vendor booths or a dance floor. Request the approved capacity for your exact floor plan.

Building A, Building B & Covered Connection

Citrus Springs Community Center is a multi-building property. County records and public-meeting notices regularly identify Building B, while facility descriptions note a covered connection between the buildings.

That configuration is useful for events using more than one indoor area because visitors can move between sections with better protection from Florida rain.

Event guests: ask your organizer whether your activity is in Building A, Building B, the banquet hall or a smaller meeting space. Simply arriving at the property may not tell you which entrance to use.

Indoor Walking

Community information referencing Citrus County Parks & Recreation lists indoor walking in Building B from approximately 8:00 AM–4:30 PM Monday through Friday.

This can provide a useful climate-controlled walking option during hot, rainy or stormy Florida weather.

Call before a walking-only trip. Building B is also used for rentals, public meetings and large community events, so ordinary walking access can be displaced by another booking.

Community Groups & Recurring Activities

The center’s programming is less like a fixed recreation-class catalog and more like a shared venue for local organizations.

One well-established example is Rainbow Quilters, a community sewing and quilting group that has regularly met at the center and worked on charitable projects. Local reporting has listed Thursday gatherings and free mentoring for beginners.

Recurring does not mean guaranteed every week. Groups can be displaced when Citrus County needs the room for another event. Confirm directly with the group before attending for the first time.

For a Florida community center with a more traditional schedule of fitness, dance and social programs, compare our Largo Community Center guide.

Civic Meetings & Voting

  • Citrus County Elections lists the facility as the voting location for Precinct 110 — South Citrus Springs.
  • County and regional agencies have used the center for public hearings, community-input sessions and educational programs.
Election-day visitors: always verify your own assigned polling location with Citrus County Elections before voting. A facility can be a polling place without being the correct precinct for every Citrus Springs address.

Renting Citrus Springs Community Center

The center is promoted for uses including:

  • Wedding receptions
  • Birthday and family celebrations
  • Club and association meetings
  • Community activities
  • Educational events
  • Fundraisers
  • Vendor or book-sale style events
  • Conferences and public meetings
Current 2026 rental price: a sufficiently reliable current County fee table could not be verified during this review. Do not budget from an older Citrus County price sheet or an unrelated community center. Ask Parks & Recreation for the current banquet-hall and meeting-room quote.

A current rental directory tied to the County facility also states that general liability insurance coverage is required. Ask staff for the required coverage amount, certificate wording and whether Citrus County must be listed as an additional insured.

Before contacting the County, our community center rental planning guide can help you prepare questions about capacity, deposits, insurance, setup time, food, alcohol and cancellation terms.
