Community Central Hall

I remember coming to the café in this place yonks ago with my Granny when she used to stay up this neck of the woods. SO it was kinda funny coming back in again a good 10 – 15 years after that first visit to see aplace that had changed little in the time that has past.
The café in the place is upstairs and is essentially a wee cafeteria type place thats open to the public. It’s cheap, cheerfull, clean and offer basic café grub. Toasties? Aye, Filled rolls, hot and cold? Aye. And a whole whack of other things.
Fancy it ain’t. There it is

Maryhill Road’s Community Central Hall has been communally used by the community for decades.
It’s utilised by a number of groups, varying from community development agencies to dance troupes when they need to use the space to perform their showcases. There’re also childcare facilities, a café and a helpdesk if you have any enquiries.
There are various classes available to attend during days and evenings. Over the years I’ve tried a few here, from Miss Henderson’s school of dance as a child to a really cool aerobics class (think I lasted a month, feel the burn!) You can also rent out the space for birthdays — my friend had various family parties in here, which were a blast since the staff are nice and we had free reign of the massive dance space. I remember doing the Slosh with my friend’s mum that night!
It’s a great central meeting ground for the folks of Maryhill and George’s Cross. The staff won an award last year for fantastic service to the community, scooping it above most other centres like this in Glasgow. The staff opened this centre as a place of refuge when we experienced a local tragedy a few years back. Their award is a testament to their hard work, and further reason why the Community Central Hall has remained pivotal to the people of Maryhill all this time.
