A group representing Park City senior citizens has outlined a vision for a new senior center in Old Town, mentioning amenities like exercise space and a dining room with a capacity of 100 people.Mayor Nann Worel and the Park City Council on Thursday are scheduled to receive an annual report from the Park City Senior Center and it is likely the possibility of a major upgrade to the City Hall-owned property will be addressed.Materials compiled by the Park City Senior Center outline a concept for a 15,000-square-foot facility. The group sees the project as a possibility in a second phase of municipal work in the Woodside Park area of Old Town, toward the 1300 block of the neighborhood.Some of the other desired amenities, as listed by the group, include a living room and gathering space, a multipurpose-conference room, a room for art, a technology center and a room for puzzles and games.“Connecting seniors to have socialization, a place to go see their friends. Have a nutritious meal,” said Francie McNally, a Prospector resident who is a member of the board of directors of Park City Senior Citizens Inc. and the co-chair of the organization’s committee assigned to the second phase of Woodside Park.She said the current Park City Senior Center seats a maximum of 60 people for dining. The group hopes a new building offers a capacity of at least 100 for dining.“We are full every meal,” she said.The broader second phase of Woodside Park also may include housing, but McNally said residences of some sort are not the primary focus of the group for the land.There has been discussion for years about developing a new Senior Center with limited progress. The mayor and City Council are not expected to make important decisions at the meeting on Thursday. The agenda item involving the Senior Center is described as an annual report. It was not clear early in the week whether the elected officials will delve into the topic of a development. Thirty minutes are set aside for the discussion.The materials compiled by the Park City Senior Center, meanwhile, outlined a desire to keep the facility open four days each week in 2025 and then increase the number to five days per week the next year. The organization wants to offer additional congregate meals, to three days each week in 2025 and then five days each week in 2026.McNally said the Park City Senior Center helps influence seniors to remain in Park City.“As people get old … they don’t want to leave where they have lived their whole lives,” she said.The materials show growth in the membership of the Park City Senior Center, with 605 people involved in 2024. The number is up sharply from the 518 in 2023. They also show growth in programs, from 30 in 2022 to 88 in 2024 as of September.The City Council discussion on Thursday is scheduled to start at 4:40 p.m. at the Marsac Building. More information is available on the City Hall website, parkcity.org. The direct link to the meeting materials is: parkcity.org/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/39652/15. The meeting will also be broadcast online on the municipal website.The post Park City senior citizens outline vision for new center appeared first on Park Record.
