OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (September 9, 2019) – The Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department has announced a temporary closure of the Oak Ridge Senior Center beginning Monday, September 16, that will allow staff to relocate to the new senior center facility.

Construction of the new center finished on schedule and staff can now occupy the space to complete final preparations. The new Oak Ridge Senior Center is located at 1405 Oak Ridge Turnpike, next door to the center’s current temporary location inside the Civic Center’s Recreation Building.
