If you're planning a workout or a swim at the Community Center, you might need to reroute your routine. Starting October 28, areas of the facility will be undergoing maintenance, forcing closures and redirections that'll affect gym-goers and pool enthusiasts alike.
Firstly, the fitness fanatics should note that Fitness Studios A, B, and C are scheduled for floor refinishing, potentially causing class cancellations or relocations. Studio A will be out of commission from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, Studio B from Nov. 13 to 15, and Studio C will see its renovations from Nov. 4 to 6. Be sure to check the online fitness and gym schedules as you plan your sessions, according to City of Eden Prairie, MN.
The Aquatics Hallway won’t be left untouched; part of it is getting a new non-slip coating from Oct. 28 to Nov. 2. Swimmers will need to use an alternate route to the Lap and Dive pools during this time, with signage to guide the way. This detour bypasses the Men's and Women's locker rooms, so pack accordingly.
In addition to the indoor hustle and bustle, Eden Prairie High School is giving the storm water system and pond between it's school and the Community Center a facelift. The back parking lot will be closed from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1. Parking will be tight, so arriving earlier might save you the stress of finding a spot. The center encourages visitors to park only in the designated areas and keep clear of construction zones.
Those driving to the Community Center can stay in the loop by texting "EP CC" to 468311 for text message updates on these and future changes. With a little flexibility, disruptions can be minimized, and your fitness or swimming routines can continue without too much fuss.
