Located at the corner of Willow Pass Road and Parkside Drive, the Concord Civic Center is an attractive hub of this vibrant city's activities. Surrounded by lush lawns and the city's trademark flowers, the buildings create a sort of plaza, with the council chambers at the center. Many of the city's 480 employees work at the Civic Center, with the exception of the police, parks & recreation, human resources and some public works employees. The city's permit office is also located here.
