Come join the Kingstowne Center for Active Adults for a Day of FUN! As the first wave of baby boomers moves toward retirement, evidence shows that they are more health conscious than their parents. Boomers, ages 50 and above, are searching for different kinds of activities and leisure programs to keep active.

The vision for the new center is to create lifetime leisure opportunities for active adults. As older adults move forward to the third chapter of their lives, the Kingstowne Center will provide leisure opportunities to enhance and promote active and healthy lifestyles. Programs and activities will be tailored to meet the needs of the participants, and reflect current issues that the Boomers are facing.
