After extensive renovations, Carver Park Community Center re opened on June 2, 2008 as a state-of-the-art recreational community center under PAL Management.  Mrs. Marthenia Jones transferred from the Grant Street Community Center to assume the Directorship of Melbourne PAL at Carver Park.  Melbourne PAL at Carver Park is open to the members of the local community and the public at large during most hours.

Melbourne PAL at Carver Park is home to the Assurance Academy, a small, non-profit private school for elementary aged students at a nominal cost for those who qualify.
