The Lyon Park Community Center is a charming community house and reception hall located on a three acre privately-owned park in the heart of Arlington's historic Lyon Park neighborhood. The grounds include a children’s play area and mature tree canopy. The community house, built in 1925, was fully renovated in 2015 and is a wonderful modern venue with historic charm for your special event. With seating for up to 150 guests, room for a dance floor and DJ, a large state-of-the-art kitchen for food preparation plus a galley kitchen for hors d’oeuvres and/or drinks, this reception hall is an ideal venue for your next personal or business event.  The building is also fully accessible and has ADA compliant bathrooms.

The Community Center reception hall is a do-it-yourself venue. You set up and clean up. We supply the building, furniture (rectangular 72" x 30" tables), and cleaning products. We do not offer catering services but you are welcome to arrange catering yourself.

The Lyon Park Community Center and park are privately owned by the residents of the Lyon Park neighborhood. They are not Arlington County property. Rental income goes to the maintenance and upkeep of the beautiful, historic property.
