More than two years of input from residents helped the City develop the long-term Bloomington Forward investment plan to support three major community projects for better health, wellness, athletics and recreation.

The City will invest $101.8 million to build a new community health and wellness center that will support a wide range of recreational and fitness activities and community programs to residents throughout our region. The facility will be funded through a local option sales tax approved by Bloomington voters in 2023. The City also received $1.8 million in state bonding money for predesign work.

The project will create:

  • A family-oriented facility that meets the broad-based wellness and health goals of clients and users from across the area.
  • A wide range of recreational opportunities for people of all ages.
  • A right-sized, multiuse, flexible space to meet the area’s leisure and fitness needs both now and into the future.
  • A modern, welcoming, more effective environment for individuals seeking health and fitness services.
  • Increased accessibility to services, particularly for those who have experienced health disparities including refugees, immigrants and individuals from the BIPOC community.

The new center will replace Creekside Community Center and the Public Health building. It will be located on the same site as Creekside Community Center, 9801 Penn Ave. S.

Visit BloomingtonForward.org for up to date information on the project.

  • As part of the project's schematic design phase, HGA Architects and City staff have created a concept design of the new Community Health and Wellness Center. Review the images and share your feed back on these proposed designs and leave comments or additional questions on each area.  

    As you review the concept plans, make note of the callout boxes showing how input from the community is shaping the community center.  Your input at this stage of engagement will help the team refine the concepts for the new center.
