For National Senior Citizen’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible older adults who bring so much energy, wisdom, friendship and joy to our community.

Our Senior Center members gathered for a special farewell party to celebrate the memories made at their longtime home on Rocky Fork Boulevard. From sharing stories and enjoying cake to laughing with friends, it was the perfect way to celebrate a building filled with so many wonderful memories.

As we turn the page and look ahead to a new chapter at the Gahanna Civic Center, we’re grateful for the people who make our Senior Center community so special. Here’s to the memories behind us and all the fun still to come! 🥳❤️

Due to this morning's significant flooding in Gahanna on top of the already saturated ground and creek, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this weekend’s Muddy Miler. Floodwater, debris and extremely muddy conditions — yes, even for the Muddy Miler — have made the course unsafe for participants and staff.

Participants will receive a full refund or household credit for all ticket purchases. For additional questions, please call 614-342-4440.

We appreciate your understanding!
