Bartels Park
Residents and their families are invited to enjoy visits, picnics and activities together in the Bartels Park, located on the Bartels grounds. Developed through generous gifts and donations, the park features a wheelchair-accessible walking trail, gazebo, and gliding swing, along with ample seating areas.
The park is beautifully landscaped with a butterfly garden, shade trees and numerous plantings of perennials, annuals and shrubbery. Residents are encouraged to participate in outdoor activities in the park, including hands-on gardening sessions led by our horticulture therapist.
Droste Ice Cream Den
Residents can enjoy free ice cream everyday in the Droste Ice Cream Den. Although open for self-service throughout the day, volunteers are on hand daily from 2 to 4 p.m. to serve residents the treat of the day. Guests can also enjoy ice cream in the den and take their treats to the adjacent outdoor patio. Freewill donations are accepted.

Wellness Center
The Resident Wellness Center is set up with stations of Keiser strength training equipment designed for use by people of all abilities. The easy-to-use machines can be set as low as zero resistance, and a simple push of a button increases or decreases resistance.
All members of the Bartels Community can join strength training exercise sessions offered in the Wellness Center at Woodland Terrace. A member of our rehab/wellness team develops individualized strength training regimens for each participant and guides them during group sessions. The focus is on improving posture, balance and strength to help prevent falls and increase independence.
