The Fort Collins Senior Center was started as a part-time operation in the early
1970’s in a park facility. A full time program was established within a year at a
downtown location. In 1988, the Fort Collins city council appointed several citizen
committees – the Choices 95 process – to evaluate and recommend to the voters
capital projects that would take the City into the next decade. One of the projects
that was recommended by the Choices 95 committee was a new senior center. In
March 1988, voters approved a quarter-cent sales tax to pay for the $5.5 million
senior center and other capital improvements. The construction of the Fort Collins
Senior Center began in September, 1993 and was completed in the summer of
1995.
The vision of the program is to provide educational and recreational programs that
ensure meaningful use of leisure time; promote health and wellness, and encourage
active lifestyles; provide a supportive setting for socialization; provide information,
referral and support to all adults, especially those 50 years and older; and to
facilitate the efforts of senior service providers who share similar interests. It is a
community focal point where persons 50 and older come together for services and
activities which enhance their dignity, maintain their well-being, support their
independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community. The
mission of the Fort Collins Senior Center is to encourage adults to enrich their lives
through activity and knowledge.
Activities provided through the Senior Center include aquatics, arts, crafts, clubs and
organizations, community gardens, dance, drama and theatre, fitness, leisure
learning, music, outdoor recreation, sports and games, social activities, trips and
travel, volunteer opportunities, and wellness.
Since opening the doors in 1995, the Fort Collins Senior Center quickly fulfilled its
promise. The Center was recognized by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) in
2008 as unique and innovative and featured as a national standard. The FCSC is
one of only two NCOA/NISC (National Institute of Senior Centers) accredited senior
centers in Colorado and has received national accreditation twice. Additionally, the
FCSC has received national recognition for its excellence in service to its patrons.
The Senior Center serves the Fort Collins community in many ways. While the
primary focus for use and programming is to provide activities for people 50 and
older, a number of programs and activities are available for all adults. Family
oriented intergenerational events are featured throughout the year. The Center also
provides space for use for other City sponsored recreational programs. As space is
available the Center is used for a number of public and private purposes hosting a
variety of services, meetings and trainings, performances, social events, and many
other activities.
Who Uses the Senior Center?

limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) in addition to all
other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
