Senior programming is free of charge and is available only for residents aged 62 and older. Participants go on various field trips once a month, and they may also attend a lecture / activity class that correlates to the field trip. Programs include trips to museums, parks, festivals, fishing, and more!

Program Portions
The field trip portion and the class portion take place on different days of the month. You may attend just one or both portions. Both portions are limited to 50 participants.

Mobility
All trips require walking. This is an opportunity to become more physical while socializing with other Parkland residents in a healthy and fun environment.
