A fifteen year old boy in a young adult novel is thinking about finding someone to have sex with for the first time.
Han går aldrig på gården eller ungdomsdisko i stan. Han vill inte utsätta sig. Är det dumt? Tänk om det faktiskt finns någon som skulle vilja knulla? Det spelar ingen roll vem det är nästan, det vore bara bra att få det överstökat.

Selected
youth recreation centre
Short for 'ungdomsgården', public places where teenagers can hang out after school and on weekends, and, for example, play table tennis, pool, buy snacks and socialize in other ways.
Usually with a few young adults employed as positive role models and as resources for teens with problems.
There may be more appropriate terms than my suggestion.

youth hall
It's a hard one to find a fitting term for. EKM's explanation is on the target for sure... just thinking that maybe "youth hall" would be a better fit, since "center" might be more sounding like a hospital or a clinic type location in English.
