South Austin Senior Activity Center

We absolutely love hosting our events at the Austin Senior Activity Center! The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful, and they always go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. The facility is clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with a warm, inviting atmosphere. We’re so grateful to have such a wonderful place to bring people together and look forward to many more events here in the future!

It was a very nice experience. Staff were very informative and accepting.

I was riding a metro access bus and dropping off someone here and took these pictures of the outside. There is plenty disabled parking places.

Parking at this center was easy, and Janis at reception and Steve from Meals on Wheels were so pleasant and helpful in getting me oriented and registered. This center is getting so popular they ran out of lunches today for the first time since re-opening in May, 2022, so it's best to come early to their11:30 lunches.They will be closed for Memorial Day, but have a lot of other activities here besides offering lunch, including table games, and line dancing lessons. Donations are much appreciated, especially from those who attend the weekday lunches!

Tried the Stretch and Strength class today. Wonderful workout!! Patti is a great instructor!! Staff is friendly. Very nice center. Going to try the Zumba class on Monday.

Really enjoy the dance parties on Wednesday evening 7:30 pm. Great live bands and very nice people. Update: The Wednesday night dance parties start now at 7:00 pm.

A wonderful program wonderfully executed by just about every employee got tarnished by the conduct of most apparently the chief administrator on site, i.e. Manchaca: 01. A request from me to be a presenter was met with disdain from that administrator 02. The explanation on how to prepare that request was unclear -to say the least 03. Considerable time passed without hearing about the request 04. When there finally was a notice about the request, it was to deny the request by the administrator under the apparent pretest that I needed to be an "expert" (i.e. have some kind of certification on the area in the area in question, i.e. meditation 05. My suggestion to examine the fact that I was a psychologist and an educator with advanced degrees in both, including a U.S. doctorate in Education 06. As an addition to the need to better the administration of the program in the building, denial of empty spaces that are capable of accommodating ping-pong at adequate times available at the time is impossible to understand on the part of the building administration and program Thanks to the lower administration of the building program, much improvement has been seen in it, although some improvements suggested have not seen the light yet. Part of the improvements is, indeed, that the administrator is rather absent. Thank you for that! PS> It would probably be a good idea to collect suggestions and comments from the users themselves, such as the chess group. Again, thanks! END.==
