Mission Statement
Seattle Parks and Recreation Lifelong Recreation offers a wide range of fitness and social programs for people 50 and better that change each season. Programs are offered at each of Seattle's 26 community centers and other facilities.
Description
Lifelong Recreation programs focus on physical activity, social engagement, education, arts, creativity, and healthy lifestyles. Recreational programs are designed to serve adults of all abilities - those who are physically active, those who are just becoming active, and programs for those who have age-related limitations. Lifelong Recreation programs are aimed at increasing individual health and wellness while fostering a stronger, healthier community. Many of our participants boast about completing a half marathon each year, making meaningful social connections, losing weight, increasing flexibility and balance, and travelling to regional destinations.
