The City of Keller opened a new Senior Activities Center in January 2022, serving residents 55 years of age and better. By tripling its operational square footage, the city has been able to add programming to reach more of the senior community through health and wellness classes, trips, special interest classes, special events, a popular meal program, social components, and more. Providing services to a growing population, the new facility is essential to ensuring individual, social, and economic value.
Amenities in the new 21,210-square-foot center include traditional senior program spaces such as arts and crafts, gaming/billiards, a classroom, lounge space, a small fitness room, and flexible multipurpose rooms with a kitchen and courtyard. The new center also offers a gymnasium striped for basketball, volleyball, chair volleyball, and three pickleball courts with multipurpose flooring to accommodate other activities and special events. Situated in Johnson Road Park, the facility shares its site with the Keller Public Library, a large playground, and a loop trail with proximity to senior living facilities.
Alongside the city's new amenities, its members rely on KSAC recreation programs and events to enhance their desire for self-education, community connection, and opportunities that allow for a sense of belonging. Most program offerings are free of charge or low cost, led by volunteers, or sponsored by outside organizations, and are held daily, weekly, or monthly.
