Since 2023, the Town of Dover has been renovating the Dover Community Center to create an inclusive, multi-generational space for a variety of community activities. This project, overseen by the Community Center Building Committee, included the demolition of additions made in 1971 and 1931, as well as the construction of a new pavilion. The result is a fully accessible and completely renovated 20,000-square-foot complex.
The newly renovated complex features a community room, gym, small kitchen, and self-service café. The updates include designated areas for programs and events, as well as office space for the Council on Aging and Parks and Recreation staff. Additionally, a new climate control system has been installed to meet modern green energy standards, and enhanced landscaping around the building aims to create a more welcoming atmosphere.
“The entire town is excited to see the culmination of this project,” said Dover Town Administrator Michael Blanchard. “Dover Days is the perfect time to unveil the new and improved Caryl Community Center. This community hub will serve to further strengthen the social fabric of this incredible town. Please join us to celebrate this vital addition to Dover’s town center.”
