ACTIVE SENIORS
AQUATICS
The Gahanna Senior Center (480 Rocky Fork Blvd.) offers programs for adults, ages 55+. Although the Center is currently closed due to the pandemic, there are still many opportunities to stay engaged. Take part in events like the Spring Fling (May 12) and enjoy a catered lunch, live music, and games. Try your luck during the Senior Center’s Parking Lot Bingo events, or hone your golf skills as part of the Senior Golf League. Monthly “Lunch and Learn” programs (currently offered virtually), are a great way to discover what’s happening in the community. A NEW Walking Club offers members the opportunity to get outside each week, with excursions to different parks.
