From exercise classes and creative groups to games, technology help and social gatherings, there’s something for everyone.

The Centre is open from 9 am to 3 pm every weekday. We close for Public Holidays and for 4 weeks over Christmas.
Come along and give something a try. Our members are welcoming and you’ll quickly feel at home.
Wear comfortable clothing for exercise classes. Bring a mat for Yoga (if you have one but we do have spare yoga mats).
Is there Parking? Yes there is some parking on site and we make the most of the space available.
What about Public Transport? Nearest Bus stop is on Marcus Clark before Rimmer St. Nearest Light Rail stop is Eloura St.
I’m not retired/I’m only 60. Can I attend? For many reasons, this might be the right place for you. Most members are over 50 years.
The Centre is available for hire. Currently Monday to Thursday evenings are fully booked. The cost is $40 per hour. Use of the kitchen is an additional cost. Email to make an inquiry about availability.
