Located east of Dodge Park Road on Utica Road, our Senior Center was built for anyone 50 years of age and older to enjoy. Don’t let the name fool you, we aren’t just for Sterling Heights residents and by no means is it a place to sit and let life pass you by! The Senior Center is a comfortable, welcoming place to learn something new, get your heart pumping, play a game, catch up with old friends and/or meet new friends.

In our Senior Active Life Center, patrons can find fitness and sports programming that cover a wide range of activity and skill levels. The indoor walking track and cardio room are perfect ways to stay moving no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.

The Senior Center is a hub for activities and resources to help patrons age well. It’s a place for programs and events specially designed for people ages 50 and older. Many of our programs and services are free. Other classes and activities have low-cost fees, affordable to most. Our 50+ programming isn’t just located in the Senior Center, so please check out the Fifty Plus Post to learn more. It is published bi-monthly and can be viewed online by clicking Fifty Plus Post in the column on the left. A hard copy can also be picked up at the Senior Center or can be mailed directly to you for a nominal fee. Every effort is made by the staff to offer programs and activities suitable to all. If you don’t see what interests you, let the staff at the Center know. Your input is always appreciated and welcome; we are always looking for ways to enhance and expand programming.
