Fruita Senior Center

About Fruita Senior Center

In 1998 the senior community took the first steps toward constructing a senior center to host senior lunches, activities and events. Over the years, they have raised nearly $90,000 through aluminum can collection and recycling. During that time their vision expanded to a full service Fruita Community Center (which includes the senior center). City Council embraced the senior’s vision and twice worked on feasibility studies. City Council initiated a feasibility study in 2003, ultimately passing a resolution in January 2004 strongly supporting the concept of a recreation center in the future. Now complete, the Parks and Recreation staff fully understand that the Fruita Community Center is more than just bricks and mortar, drywall, and windows. It is a place for us to gather, interact, and to be an active and healthy community. Most importantly, it is a place for us to be Fruita. The Senior Center is located on the southwest corner of the Fruita Community Center, 325 N. Coulson Street and is free for use for all seniors 55 years and up. The Senior Center is a wonderful place to gather and socialize with friends, play cards, play pool, watch a movie or to just relax and read a book.
