Walter Reed Community Center is my favorite community center because it has an open atmosphere, has indoor and outdoor facilities, has open and closed meeting areas, has rooms for experiments, has a prominent and central reception and service desk, and has only slightly more vehicle parking than it needs. It should have been multiple stories tall.
