Mountain View Community Center (MVCC) Survey

Operation of the Mountain View Community Center (MVCC) will transition from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southcentral Alaska (BGCSAK) to the Anchorage Parks and Recreation Department on June 1, 2025. The goal of the transition is to maintain the facility’s services while adapting to the needs of the community.

The process will engage residents and stakeholders through public meetings and outreach, such as this survey.

The purpose of this survey is to get feedback on what you envision for the future of the Mountain View Community Center. The survey will take about 8 minutes to complete.
