Where you can achieve anything
Conveniently located close to City Hall at 1602 Kramer Way, the George Mullen Activity Center (commonly referred to as GMAC) opened in 1998. A 12,500 sq. ft. community center, it is named after former Commissioner, George D. Mullen. The facility offers a gymnasium with multi-purpose flooring & stage, meeting rooms and a kitchen. Out front, patrons can find a playground. Just behind the facility is the Larry Thoennissen Athletic Fields.
Please note that the George Mullen Activity Center follows special hours for summer/winter camp while school is out. The fitness center and other amenities will be closed to the public while camp is in session. For more information, please call us at 941-429-PARK (7275).
