Residents 18 and over will find a wealth of resources and fun at the City-run Margaret Todd Senior Center. The facility is home to a popular banquet hall, countless events, classes for adults and seniors. Nearly every event there -- from themed lunches to weekly game groups to the Tuesday/Thursday lunch program -- is held to encourage adults and seniors to connect with each other. Multiple rooms throughout the facility are available for rent, with classrooms generally available to rent Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm.  The maximum amount of time any space can be rented is 9 hours.

The Margaret Todd Senior Center is an ideal location for wedding receptions, dances, parties, meetings and seminars. The auditorium has a large wooden dance floor, stage, PA/sound system, and a commercial kitchen. If you’re looking for a smaller room, the Center has several meeting rooms that are ideal for classes, meetings, and seminars.  Rental fees vary depending upon room, and duration of the event.

Want to book this facility? We recommend submitting a rental inquiry first to receive availability details and suitability feedback within 4 business days before formally applying.

While the inquiry will NOT reserve the space, it allows us to provide helpful preliminary guidance to inform your decision on whether to proceed with a full permit application.
