Patty Turner Center

The Patty Turner Center in Deerfield, Illinois, opened in 2003 and is the result of a community partnership involving the Deerfield Park District, the Village of Deerfield,and the family and friends of Fred L. Turner.

Our mission is to support the independence and well-being of adults 50 years and older; to encourage their participation in all aspects of community life; and to provide programs that serve their social, recreational, and intellectual needs and enhance their lives.
