Community Center

The Coach John Gagliardi Sports Complex & Trinidad Community Center

The complex includes the Trinidad Community Center, the Family Aquatic Center, the Trinidad Skate Park and Southside Baseball Park. The complex was dedicated on June 28, 2007, in honor of Trinidad native John Gagliardi, the most successful college football coach in history with a career record of 489-138-11. He began his coaching career at the age of 16 when his football coach at Trinidad Catholic High School was drafted in World War II. He continued to coach at Catholic high schools and colleges until his retirement in 2012 and was inducted into the Colorado Football Hall of Fame in 2006.

The Community Center has an indoor basketball court, ping pong tables, a foosball table, a weight room, an aerobics room, and a meeting room.
