Senior Activity & Wellness Center

Temporarily Closed

Effective Tuesday, March 17, the Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center, operated by the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas, is suspending social programs, wellness classes, trips, activities, and congregate meals for two weeks at our Center in Walker Park. Our facility will be closed to the public, but we will continue to provide home-delivered meals and essential taxi Services to our clients. For clients who drive to the Center for our lunch, we will provide a curbside drive-thru pickup option for a hot lunch. Please call the Senior Center at 479-571-2920 for more information or to register for lunch pick-up.

Partnership


The City of Fayetteville began providing financial support for the Council on Aging, Incorporated in 1972 for recreation services to senior citizens at Hillcrest Towers and the Fayetteville Senior Center.

This was the beginning of a very successful agreement with the Council on Aging.

Location

The Senior Center is located at 945 South College, near the north end of Walker Park. 

Programs


The Council on Aging provides recreational programs, meeting the needs of our senior citizen residents at the Walker Park Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center and Hillcrest Towers.

It is the intent of the Council on Aging and the Parks and Recreation Department to work in cooperation to enhance the recreation facilities and programs in our City, while not duplicating services, in an effort to spend taxpayers’ money as effectively as possible.

If the Council on Aging were not serving the senior citizen population, the City would need to assume responsibility. Within the agreement, the building is used as an emergency shelter for the City of Fayetteville.
