Our History & Legacy
MISSION
“Our mission is to be a community-based, member-supported, and family-focused center for improving lives through intellectual, social, cultural and athletic endeavors.”
The Rockville Center was founded through the hard work, generosity, and dedication of our community. Built by former members through fundraising efforts, the Center stands today as a testament to the commitment of local families and volunteers who envisioned a place for year-round recreation and connection.
A significant milestone in our history was the matching donation from philanthropists J. Harwood and Louise Cochrane, which made it possible to establish our pool and center building. To honor their generosity, our gym is named the Cochrane Pavilion—a space that continues to serve as a hub for fitness and community events.
Today, The Rockville Center remains a volunteer-led nonprofit organization, dedicated to enriching lives through intellectual, social, cultural, and athletic endeavors.
