New Community Health and Wellness Center

Moving Bloomington Forward logo

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.
