Halloween fun is for EVERYONE!

Costumes are optional and must be appropriate.

Pizza and pop will be provided.

Barre fitness is a hybrid workout class - combining ballet-inspired moves with elements of pilates, dance, yoga and strength training.

Most classes incorporate a ballet barre and use classic dance moves such as pliés, alongside static stretches. Barre also focuses on high reps of small range movements.

New session starts Wed., Nov. 2.

Join us once a month for a special themed dance party that will let you "Dance the Night Away"! The music is sure to get you moving, involved and connected.

The Parks and Recreation Department is excited to introduce the newest member of our administrative team, Katie Neifer!

Katie had been working for the Parks and Recreation Department in a seasonal capacity at the Community Center prior to taking on her new role as a Program & Services Assistant at the Senior Center. At the Senior Center, she will be spending a lot of time at the registration counter helping patrons while also assisting with many of the outstanding programs and special events offered through the Senior Center and department as a whole.

Katie is currently pursuing a degree in Public Administration and Public Policy with a minor in Journalism from Oakland University and is expected to graduate in Spring 2023. In her spare time, Katie enjoys camping all over the great state of Michigan and her new found hobby is learning to skateboard.

If you see Katie at the Senior Center or at an event, don’t forget to say hello and welcome her to the team!
