A local online article highlights Carroll Beek and the Beek family, having inhabited Balboa Island since its inception as an island community and for whom this community center is named after. The article says of Carroll Beek:
Beek's wife, Carroll, who died in 1981, became active in nearly 20 community organizations and was best known as an ardent environmentalist and government watchdog. She may be best remembered, however, for founding the Balboa Island Yacht Club, a small-boat sailing club specifically for children, which continues to meet regularly in front of the Beek home on the island across the bay from the Balboa Pavilion.
