What To Know About The Roebbelen Center

The Roebbelen Center in Roseville, California, is a state-of-the-art facility in a delightful community that enjoys a slower pace than its larger neighbor, Sacramento. 

The building opened in February 2020, right before COVID-19 changed the trajectory of the year. By the one-year anniversary, the Roebbelen Center was part of the Roseville community’s efforts to get local residents vaccinated, after which, the spacious $34 million venue was able to be used for events that could be run safely with social distancing. 

The Roebbelen Center features 160,000 square feet of total space, which cleverly and conveniently includes 35-foot ceilings, a 10,000-square-foot lobby, 24 volleyball courts or 12 basketball courts, eight meeting rooms and an atrium. 

However, it’s just a small part of @the Grounds, a 60-acre campus that is home to almost a dozen unique venues – indoor, outdoor, even a speedway. There’s the Roebbelen Center, Jones Hall, Johnson Hall, Attaway Pavilion, The Garden Room, The All American Speedway, Open Lawn, The Barns and an RV park. 

Depending on the event, one, multiple or all of the facilities are available to help make the day(s) unforgettable. 

It’s all close to hotels, restaurants and shopping available in the warm city of Roseville.
