*The outdoor restrooms attached to the Swimming Pool are connected to the building's water system. Due to this fact, when the Swimming Pool is winterized and water shut off, the outdoor restrooms will also be shut off and unavailable for public use.

Big Venue: Summit Center

The Summit Center has many rental options all under one roof. We offer full and partial-day rentals. Our "Gathering Room" is a great space for your small group. Our well-equipped "Kitchen" is great for the caterer or meal preppers. Add the "Community Center" and you have everything you need for 180 guests. Our "Auditorium" makes a classical wedding venue, sporting events, or family fun rental. The Summit Center rentals are located at 304 South Summit and have ample parking for your event.
