As Bloomington's senior community faces the closure of Creekside Community Center, slated for mid-2025, Logan Lodge steps up to be the new, albeit temporary, venue for the majority of displaced programs. According to an official announcement, 95% of senior programs currently held at Creekside will transition to Logan Lodge at 9930 Logan Ave. S. starting June 16.
The move comes ahead of the construction of the new Community Health and Wellness Center, which is set to replace the community center. City officials have outlined plans to seamlessly transition various activities, aiming to minimize disruption for regular attendees. Card groups, needleworking, and crafting programs will be hosted at Logan Lodge, even as fitness-centric gatherings plan to quietly slip into the schedule at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, located at 1800 W. Old Shakopee Road.
For seniors wondering how to keep up with these changes and their favorite activities, Bloomington officials have provided a solution. The City of Bloomington’s website encourages residents to "sign up for the 50+ program mailer," facilitating continued engagement and updates on the evolving landscape of their social and recreational offerings.
The move has been orchestrated to ensure that the social fabric of the senior community remains intact, even as the bricks and mortar of their familiar haunts give way to progress. Details regarding the transitions are available for those interested on the City of Bloomington's dedicated webpage.
