Beat the Heat at Lubbock's Adult Activity Centers

Beat the heat this summer at Parks and Recreation’s adult activity centers! Older adults of all ages will enjoy fun and fellowship in air-conditioned comfort as they participate in our daily recreation activities and fitness programs, and then stay for a nutritious lunch. Each adult activity center offers many free or low-fee activities geared for Lubbock’s active adults ages 50 and above, including arts and crafts, sewing, games, yoga, seated yoga, cooking, computer classes, dance socials, and much more. Baby boomers and older adults that want to stay physically fit can use a variety of fitness equipment at no cost to the participants. The equipment varies by center and includes treadmills, elliptical machines, recumbent bikes, stationary bikes and weight machines. 

For older Lubbock citizens (ages 60 and above), we have two programs that are available weekdays throughout the year. If getting to the center is an issue, we are able to provide transportation to and from their homes to one of our centers. In addition, we serve a hot, nutritious lunch at Noon every Monday through Friday at our five sites. The suggested voluntary donations for these programs are $2 per round trip for transportation and $3 per meal for lunch, but no one is turned away for inability to pay. Those participants not yet aged 60 are able to purchase a lunch for $8.50. For more information on our older adult programs or to register for the transportation program, call the Lubbock Adult Activity Center at 767-2710.
