June 2025

Notes from Sue

As I'm sure you've heard, Josh Rockey is leaving the Senior Center to become Recreation Supervisor–Customer Experience at the Eden Prairie Community Center. We wish him all the best as we hire someone to fill his position.

News and Updates

It's a (New) Sign You can't miss our new electronic sign when you pull into the Senior Center! Senior Center Closed June 19 The Senior Center and other City facilities are closed Thursday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth Day.

Art in the Garden

Something exciting is blooming at the Senior Center—and it’s more than just flowers! This fall, we’ll be installing brand-new art in our beautiful back garden area, and we want YOU to help us build the excitement!

Garden Box of Whimsy Each month between now and Aug. 31, a new surprise item will be placed inside a clear cube in the center of the garden. Stroll through the garden, check out the box and keep track of the items inside. Then submit your complete list of garden box items by Sept. 12 to sbohnsack@edenprairie.org or drop it off at the Senior Center front desk. You may win a prize!
