Creekside Closure and Program Transition
As Creekside Community Center prepares for its closure on May 30, 2025 to make way for the new Community Health and Wellness Center (CHWC), the City is committed to providing a seamless transition for regularly scheduled programs. 95% of Creekside’s current programming will be housed on an interim basis at Bloomington Center for the Arts, 1800 W. Old Shakopee Road, or Logan Lodge, 9930 Logan Avenue South.
- Logan Lodge will open on June 16, 2025 and will feature four unique programming spaces. It will be home to card groups, craft groups, special events, education and information presentations, and the Bloomingtones and Crickets musical groups.
- Bloomington Center for the Arts will be home to Chair and Gentle Mat Yoga, Fun Functional Fitness, low-impact exercise classes, line dancing classes and the Boutique.
These programs will transition to the new CHWC when it opens in 2027. For more information, visit the Frequently Asked Questions on BloomingtonForward.org.
Two years of resident input helped the City develop the long-term Bloomington Forward investment plan to support three major community projects for better health, wellness, athletics and recreation. In November 2023, Bloomington voters approved a half-percent local sales tax to finance $155 million in bonds to pay for modernization of Bloomington Ice Garden, a new Community Health and Wellness Center to replace Creekside Community Center and the Bloomington Public Health building, and restoration and improvements in the Nine Mile Creek corridor and Central/Moir Park.
The new Community Health and Wellness Center may include gyms with bleachers, walking/jogging track, indoor playground, supervised child play area, exercise, fitness and senior program spaces, multi-purpose community rooms, pool with family locker rooms, and public health program, exam and counseling spaces.
