Philosophy

Indy Parks is committed to helping seniors improve and maintain healthy lifestyles. Our programs encourage recreation and leisure skill development, education and a positive social atmosphere, all of which come together to create a healthy mind and a healthy life.

The Senior Recreation Council (SRC)

The SRC meets on a quarterly basis to aid in the planning and implementation of recreation programs for seniors at Indy Parks. Do you have an idea for a program? We would love to here from you! Partnerships and volunteers play a vital role in many of our senior programs. For information, call 327-7418.
