About Lincoln Heights Youth Arts Center

The Lincoln Heights Youth Arts Center (LHYAC) is part of the Lincoln Heights Youth Center complex, which is a renovated 2-story church building constructed in 1930 with subsequent additions built in the 1970s. The complex houses four components: an outdoor roller hockey rink, a boxing gymnasium, a youth center, and a junior arts center; and is jointly operated by the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) and DCA. The complex has approximately 9,000 square feet of space (including the outdoor hockey rink), with the Youth Arts Center occupying approximately one-third of the building. Funding for the renovation of the complex was provided through Proposition K funds.
