Quality of Life The City of Centerville is dedicated to creating an exceptional quality of life for all residents and visitors. Center Park at Centerville and Town Center at Centerville One of the ways Centerville remains dedicated to citizens is through Center Park at Centerville and Town Center at Centerville. Center Park is a community gathering place for residents and visitors alike. Planning for these amenities began in May 2016 by creating a Town Center Master Plan to be implemented over 10 years. The Master Plan is the result of months of public input and community dedication to creating a robust park in the heart of Centerville. The park is currently functioning as a passive park, and there are plans to continue construction and new developments for entertainment and recreational opportunities.

There are over 45 stores located within the mall, and its anchor stores include JCPenney and Belk, and formerly had a Sears that closed in April 2018. The mall is connected to the Galleria Mall Stadium Cinemas which is the primary movie theater in the area that shows new and current releases, and recently underwent a renovation. The mall opened in 1994.

There are nine Christian churches in Centerville. The Islamic Center of Middle Georgia also residents in Centerville.
