Did you know?

Renovations at the Peterborough Community Center are set to begin this month with the replacement of the large garage door in the gym. The recreation office does not know when the contractors will show up for this project and future parts of the renovation so we are planning programs full speed ahead!


In the event that we must cancel reservations or programs in the community center, refunds will be issued for all programs except Adult Pickleball.


If you have any questions about the renovations or refunds/payment for programs and reservations, please do not hesitate to reach out to the office at 603-924-8080.
