Activities Calendar

Programs & activities, sorted by age group and by interest.

Welcome to the Goodman Community Center, dedicated to serving our neighbors on Madison's near east side.

In September 2008 we opened our beautiful new doors with a new name, after more than 53 years as the Atwood Community Center. We're grateful for our incredible new facility at 149 Waubesa Street. Here you'll find many programs and resources, including a gym and fitness center, art rooms, a café, a food pantry that's more like a grocery store, and a wide variety of spaces to rent for your personal, community or business gatherings.

We're here to strengthen the lives of people in our community. Explore our website to discover the ways you're welcome here " participating in programs for children, teens, adults and seniors, or simply connecting with the many resources we offer. Visit our Resources pages for our hours of operation and News & Events pages for schedules of upcoming events. Looking for details about an upcoming event, class or activity? Check out our Activities Calendar, that's where we keep everything most current.
