Welcome!
Beginning in October 2025, the Fargo Park District partnered with Reach Partners Inc. to design and implement a comprehensive engagement process for North Fargo's older adults. The engagement activities were designed to help find out how adults age 55+ in North Fargo currently use programs and services, and what they want to remain active, connected, and supported moving forward. The engagement included:
- Community-wide surveys (digital and print)
- Open houses and facilitated roundtable discussions
- On-site comment boards
- Direct conversations with current participants
- Focus groups with staff serving older adults
- Targeted outreach through media, mailings, and community distribution
Approximately 305 individuals participated, representing current program users, former participants, and residents not currently engaged in Fargo Park District or Valley Senior Services programming. This approach ensured feedback reflects both depth and diversity of experience. The survey results are in, and you are invited to check them out!
