Eureka Springs formally opened its first community center with a ribbon cutting ceremony June 9. The nonprofit center, which occupies a fomer high school, is an affordable recreational, educational and events hub for Eureka Springs children, families and seniors. Constructed along Kingshighway, the new center is also a gateway site for tourists visiting the downtown historic district.
