Senior Programs
Evergreen and Morgan Park senior centers serve as a gathering space to socialize and participate in fun activities such as exercise programs, bingo and card games. Each Senior Center has its own monthly programming schedule with Activity Clubs. Activity Clubs are community run groups based on interests of individual members. Historically, groups have consisted of card clubs, coffee and chat, knitting clubs, and more!
Each Activity Club has a volunteer liaison. This person is responsible for communicating scheduling needs with the Recreation Specialist and maintains a list of member contact information. If you would like to learn more about becoming an Activity Club, or request space for your Activity Club to meet, please view the form here.
Duluth Parks and Recreation also offers programs with our staff specially catered to older adults. Offerings include day trips, special events, holiday parties, hikes, educational programs, and more! To view current programs, please visit our online registration system here.
