Senior Recreation Center

The Senior Recreation Center provides a safe, welcoming, and energizing environment where our community’s adults 55 and over can enhance their quality of life by engaging in a healthy and active lifestyle. Urbandale is committed to its senior citizens and our Senior Recreation Center is a great example of how our community makes good on that commitment! 

The programs and services offered by the Urbandale Senior Recreation Center that help keep life interesting, enriching, and fun are certainly no secret. With over 40,000 in attendance each year, these seniors certainly challenge the idea that growing old means slowing down!

As of Tuesday, August 24, 2021, masks are to be worn inside the Senior Recreation Center at all times. Please check this website for any further updates. We are working to provide a wide variety of programs that we can offer in compliance with current health guidelines. In addition, several of our current offerings on Zoom will continue.

Please check out our current newsletter for information on our upcoming programs and services. We look forward to having you join us when you are comfortable!
