About Arcata Community Center
The Arcata Community Center is described as a gem and a successful, useful place for the town. It is a spacious and modern facility with a thoughtful layout, featuring a Community Hall, ball fields, soccer fields, greens, and an excellent kids playground with a climbing wall. The grounds are kept clean. It offers good parking, including ADA parking, and access is easy by car, bicycle, or on foot. The venue supports large events, has a catering kitchen, nice restrooms, and serves as a sporting arena. Seniors get fed there. The center allows people living in vehicles, including van-lifers and those with small incomes, to park in its lots and provides a port-a-potty. Some reviews mention the presence of drug users, fighting, and yelling, calling it a sketchy place, particularly noting issues in the top parking lot. However, other reviews strongly dispute this, stating that such negative posts are lies and that the place is largely clean and safe, with a chill community where most people mind their own business. They claim only a small number of problematic individuals are present and that the center is a clean and safe place for everyone, including kids who are there all the time. Electric vehicle charging stations are also available.

Not up to the best big-city buffets but good. I think it's the only Chinese buffet in Humboldt. Always good selection and plenty of whatever you want. Excellent value
