The Community Center was purchased by the Forest Lakes Owners Association (FLOA) on December 12, 2014. Up until this time, FLOA did not have its own facilities. They rented space wherever they could to hold monthly meetings and community events. For over 20 years, FLOA members held many fundraising events to save money to someday purchase their own facility. Due to their efforts, they saved a lot of money and were able to pay cash for the property.
At time of purchase, existing buildings were a "fixer upper" house and a Quonset building. With many hours of hard work, the members came together for many Clean-Up Days to make the property usable.
Added since 2014 have been concrete handicap parking, sidewalks, events "park", fences to mark boundary and a storage garage. It will always be a work in progress.
At the time of purchase, the property was zoned as "commercial/residential". In 2017 FLOA applied for a Special Use Permit that was approved by Coconino County Planning and Zoning in April, 2018. They classified it as a Club.
