Very well-run community center. Everyone here is very helpful. Be sure to join the Seabreeze Square Dance Club. They dance Tuesdays at 7 PM and are very welcoming to new dancers. So good for staying active and healthy. BTW, the correct name is Frances Padgett Senior Center. read more

Arlington Senior Citizens Center - Happy dancers - Jacksonville, Florida

I retired recently. I immediately joined Frances Padgett Senior Center. I knew and was friends with Frances when she was alive. I've been to several lunches, costume party, and use the computer(they have 5 available to use). Everyone is so pleasant, kind and helpful. Courtney B. Is the Manager and two other ladies that work in the office. They also have a pool table in one room, & then the computer room and then the kitchen and dining hall. They pass out a new calendar of activities and the meals. Very organized here. I have made many new friends here. They also have a bus for people who need a ride each day. I think this is wonderful! They have field trips, daily activities, such as Tai Chi, nutrition classes, crochet classes, Spanish classes, Zumba and so much more. Pros: the only thing that costs any money is 50 cents per card for bingo. Plenty of parking. Cons: I am not sure how I become an actual "member". read more

My first time here and it was AMAZEBALLS!!!! OMG Friday night Line Dance hosted by Jazzco was phenomenal. They started with popular dance so everyone can get warmed up and acquainted and then the fun began. Easy steps, GREATE instructors. And it's free...you can bring your own food if you like, but small snacks and water are free. read more

It is an amazing place to learn line dancing. The crowd is so helpful, fun, and energetic. Stopped in for a moment and stayed for a couple of hours. They have bottled water to help you stay hydrated. It is amazing how much you perspire while dancing. Had a winderdul time celebrating with friends. I will return soon. read more
