Making Edina Parks Safer, One AED at a Time!

The Rotary Club of Edina is proud to support the installation of two new automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at Centennial Lakes Park and Courtney Fields!

These publicly accessible, life-saving devices are designed to help people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, providing critical assistance when every second counts.

With a previous Rotary-supported installation at Pamela Park in 2024, three Edina parks now have outdoor AED stations available to the community.

We're grateful for our partnership with the City of Edina, MN (Local Government) and the opportunity to make a lasting investment in the safety and well-being of our community.

Two automated external defibrillator SaveStations have been installed outdoors at Centennial Lakes Park and Courtney Fields thanks to a donation from the Rotary Club of Edina.

Edina Rotarians were hard at work volunteering at VEAP (Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People), helping support local families and individuals facing food insecurity.

VEAP plays a vital role in our community by providing access to nutritious food and essential resources for neighbors in need.

We're proud to support organizations like VEAP that make a meaningful difference right here in our community.
