Recreation

Opportunities to engage in recreation and social activities regardless of your age or ability.

Senior Centers offer independent seniors opportunities to participate in a wide range of activities including exercise, creative activities, field trips, music, education and information, computer classes, English as a second language, cultural activities, inter-generational activities, celebrations and fun!  Center participants also enjoy nutritious meals and spend time making friends and socializing.
