Creekside Community Center Closes After 50 Years
The Creekside Community Center closed its doors permanently after more than 50 years of serving seniors in the community, marking the end with a farewell celebration.
The center's recreation programs for seniors will relocate to Logan Lodge as an interim location for the next two years while a new community health and wellness center is under construction. Community members gathered for a final celebration that included rock painting, photo opportunities in front of the building, and creating a memory quilt planned for display in the future facility.
Participants have been leaving their mark on the building in recent weeks by writing memories and sharing drawings on the walls. The center offered various activities including card games, music programs on Thursday mornings, leather crafting, and a rock shop where members could work with stones.
The center's boutique will move to City Hall during the interim period and plans to participate in summer farmers markets. According to the discussion, the boutique provides both an outlet for crafters and serves as a social activity for participants.
Community members can stay updated on the new facility's construction progress at bloomingtonforward.org. The memory quilt created during the farewell celebration will be completed and displayed in the new community health and wellness center when it opens.
