East Grand Forks Parks & Recreation

Welcome to the Best Years

Once a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, the East Grand Forks Senior Center was transformed by dedicated volunteers in 1986—and that spirit of community still shines today. Here, you’re invited to spend your best years surrounded by friends, laughter, and people who truly care. Whether you come for a warm meal, a lively card game, or just a cup of coffee and conversation, you’ll find a welcoming place to belong.
