The City operates a Senior Center that we hope will serve as a hub of activity for residents 55 years or older. The Center�s staff works with seniors to organize many activities including woodworking, card games, trips, tours, health and wellness classes and computer classes. Our Parks & Recreation Department manages the Senior Center and is responsible for senior programming and activities.
The Senior Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.- 4 p.m. It is located at Eden Prairie Senior Center 8950 Eden Prairie Road. Its telephone number is 952-949-8475.
I am meeting tomorrow morning with the Senior Advisory Council. The City takes advice and counsel from the Advisory Council on the operations of the Center. I am going to talk with them tomorrow about what the City is doing for its senior citizen population. They are interested in the proposed parks and recreation improvements referendum; community growth; transportation; and all the other issues that citizens are interested in.
It’s been about a year since I last sat down with the seniors to talk about Eden Prairie. I am glad to have the chance to do it again tomorrow.
