Cale Community Center
Overview & Guidelines
The Greenbriar Civic Association’s Cale Community Center at 4615 Stringfellow Road in Chantilly is available for rent by neighborhood residents and the broader community for meetings, events and activities. The center, built in the early 1970s, was originally named the Greenbriar Community Center. It was renamed the Cale Community Center in 2013 to honor Emerson and Barbara Cale in honor of their long-term service to the GCA and our community. The CCC is generally available for rent Friday through Sunday between 1:30 and 11 p.m.
There is limited availability during the week, but there may be additional times available during school vacations and the summer months.
