The J. Churchill Owen Boys & Girls Club serves the Westwood neighborhood in west Denver. Owen Boys & Girls Club was the first Denver-area Boys & Girls Club built specifically for that purpose. It bears the name of J. Churchill Owen, who was instrumental in establishing the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver in 1961. The Club is home to the large Andrés “Big Cat” Galarraga multi-purpose field (named after the former Colorado Rockies first baseman), used for sports programs for all metro area Boys & Girls Clubs. The Placido DeSantiago Teen Center, which includes a half court gymnasium, technology center, learning center and recreation area was built in 2009. The Teen Center serves an additional 300-500 young people per year, 70-80 additional kids per day, and will increase the total time spent at the Club by all members. The Teen Center also features the Best Buy Teen Tech Center and it is an official Member of The Clubhouse Network: A Global Community for Creativity & Achievement.
