Pasadena Community Centre is a safe and welcoming space where people of all backgrounds can connect and feel at home.
Our community lounge is open during the day and in the evenings and on weekends because connection does not keep office hours. We’re here because our community asked for us in 2021. Our purpose is simple. Help neighbours become familiar faces and familiar faces become friends.
We are located at 47 Adelaide Terrace, Pasadena, and welcome all residents, especially those from Bedford Park, Panorama, Pasadena, St Marys, Eden Hills, Lynton, Clapham, Bellevue Heights, Daw Park and Melrose Park.

Works Update
The next stage of improvements at the Pasadena Community Centre is now under way, with landscaping of the drainage reserve, an outdoor play area, kitchen garden and propagation area being delivered as part of the project.
The existing car park will also be upgraded, with stormwater improvements included in the later stage of works.
The Community Centre will remain open throughout construction, although access to the drainage reserve and car park will be restricted at different times. The car park will be closed during construction, with completion expected in March 2027.
Access to the Community Centre will be via the breezeway from Adelaide Terrace.
Shared Plates, Shared Stories
Pasadena Community Centre has received funding from Anglicare to deliver Shared Plates, Shared Stories, a 12-month project celebrating the recipes and stories that shape our community.
If you live in Pasadena, St Marys or nearby, we invite you to share a favourite recipe and the story behind it. It might reflect your culture, family traditions or a special moment in your life. Our goal is to collect 100 local recipes.
We will also host community events and activities where you can connect, share and celebrate together.
To get involved, download and complete the form and email it to pasadena@mitchamcouncil.sa.gov.au, or visit the Centre and speak with our staff.

Pasadena Community Centre Upgrade
The newly redeveloped Pasadena Community Centre has celebrated its first birthday at 47 Adelaide Terrace, Pasadena, following a major upgrade to improve access, usability and community connection.
Driven by strong community advocacy, the project was initiated after local residents alerted Council to the sale of the former Sea Scout Hall and its potential as a neighbourhood centre. Council committed $3.123 million to the project, supported by $600,000 from the Government of South Australia on behalf of the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, $300,000 through a Federal Government election pledge and a $167,000 Changing Places grant.
Designed by Troppo Architects and delivered by Cook Building, the redevelopment retains the character features of the original 1960s building while introducing a range of modern, energy-efficient upgrades. The roof has been raised to improve natural light and ventilation, and the building has been better integrated with the surrounding outdoor areas through the addition of new verandahs. Recycled materials have been used throughout, including the original jarrah flooring and the installation of solar panels. The kitchen has been upgraded to service both the main hall and a future outdoor community cafe. Other improvements include additional toilets, a kitchenette, an extended activity room, a Toy Library, keyless entry, and enhanced accessibility features.
The Centre now operates six days a week, including evening programs on four weekdays and Saturdays. Sunday hours commenced in October 2025.

An interview with Vilma Wood
During the 1970s, as a mother of four, Vilma felt a pressing need for a community centre in the area. Responding to this need Vilma raised money by selling soft drinks, running car washes, accepting donations, and collecting cans at events. Staying true to her commitment to community service, Vilma preserved the funds collected during those years and, later, joyfully contributed them to the Council upon the purchase of the Pasadena Community Centre. Known for her skills as a seamstress, Vilma asked for the raised funds to be used to purchase a sewing machine. The sewing machine acquired has become an integral part of the centre, used regularly on Thursdays and Friday evenings. Vilma's dedication extended further as she joined the Pasadena Community Centre Advisory Group, attending initial meetings until her health declined. Her joy upon the centre’s acquisition was evident, though tinged with the regret that it hadn't happened sooner for her to fully enjoy its benefits.
