Welcome to the Community Center
Celebrating 55 Years of Community. Rebuilding for the Future.
Since 1970, the Flamingo Heights Community Center has been the heart of our High Desert neighborhood. For decades, we’ve come together here—to share meals, host events, lend a hand during emergencies, and celebrate the things that make life in Flamingo Heights so unique.
Now, we’re back and better than ever. After a quiet spell, we’re rolling up our sleeves, dusting off the furniture, and reimagining what this space can become. Whether you’ve lived here for generations, just unpacked your boxes, call the area home, or simply feel a connection to this community—FHCC belongs to you.
