About the centre
Kinson Community Centre is in Pelhams Park, which also has bowls and tennis courts.
Pelhams House is a grade II listed building. It was built in the late 1700s, making it one of the oldest buildings in Bournemouth.
The building was extended in the 1950s and again in 2004 to increase facilities for the community. The newest part was opened by HRH Princess Anne.
