City of Asheville issued the following announcement on Sept. 13.
After nearly 50 years of being known as Senior Opportunity Center, the community center on 36 Grove St. in downtown Asheville has a new name.
During its September 13 meeting, Asheville City Council approved Asheville Parks & Recreation’s (APR) request to rename the building to Grove Street Community Center. While the community center retains a focus on older adults, the new name is reflective of its expanded programming for all ages. As the only public community center in the central business district, the location is the most accessible for nearby neighborhoods including Downtown, South French Broad, South Slope, and WECAN.
Over the next several weeks, APR staff will replace exterior and interior signs, update the center’s digital footprint, and host events to reintroduce the building to the broader community. Current programs and activities can be found on ashevillenc.gov/parks.
