The Golden Years Reception on October 13 gathered important feedback from older adults in our community, many of whom want to be engaged in the planning of Golden Community Center and The Front Porch activities. We are excited to begin our collaboration to plan these fun opportunities!

City staff will offer several focus group sessions on November 3, 2023, based on feedback received at the reception. These focus groups will be held in a smaller space, more conducive to conversation and listening so everyone can hear and be heard.

Advanced sign-up for these 45-minute sessions is required. To accommodate the room size and allow for better conversation, each group will be limited to 20 people. If a session reaches capacity, we will add additional sessions on the same topic.

Sign up for a focus group here!

Bring yourself, your ideas, and your enthusiasm to shape the future of Recreation Services for older adults in Golden!
