I was getting a few chairs ready for a line dancing class that happens every Wednesday evening when…read morean older, female staff member walked into the room interrogating me. I had taken class there many times and had seen the staff member act suspiciously similar to other patrons, but I wasn't prepared for this interaction that left me never wanting to set foot in that establishment ever again. After her unnecessary interrogation, which I tried to politely respond to, she left for a few minutes, then walked back into class on two separate occasions to complain about me to the instructors while I was in the same room. I was a paid customer and the instructors are longtime renters of the community center. As if that wasn't bad enough, the staff member waited until I was near the entrance, bumped into me, then directed her attention to the thermostats. There were a lot of patrons in the room, so it was quite hot. The thermostats were set to 71, but she felt the need to turn them both to 72. After raising the temperature in the room, she finally walked back behind the bar. As a paid customer who was simply volunteering his time to help set up the room for dance class, the treatment I received from this staff member was deeply unfortunate. I will never do business there again.

it's great that the Seymour center was donated by this family. The center houses many activities…read morethat don't exist . This is a senior center for 55 and older, it is paid by tax payers funds through Orange County NC. Don't be surprise when you arrive , it's run more like a senior daycare. 90% of the population is Asian. if you plan to use any of the equipment good luck, it is over taken. I suggested a number system. At three it is over run by children on equipment, when I addressed this, which are mostly staff related? Don't you have to be 55.? No this a community Center. so bring your children at three go down the stairs and use the equipment. open to all. Good Luck

Most comprehensive program development way beyond any other area senior center. Ethnic eclecticity…read moreis profound, with large ethnic communities interacting with each other during major cultural celebrations. Program array is extensive beyond expectation, clearly listed for the day (some 25 or more on a daily updated page on the wall as you entered. Friendly accomodating support staff througout. Daily subsidized inexpensive lunches ($1.00 donation for locals). Out of county membership allowed. Program Booklet unparalelled. Preregister where required, some walk in. Physical building is large with handicap access throughout. Many helpful services in addition to activity programs, like taxes, voting etc. Take a program booklet and be astounded and feel welcomed. I lived locally and moved away yet maintaned an active membership.

We're lucky to have friends that are members that occasionally bring us as their guests!…read more The pool is great and we love the shallow end for the younger kids. The Grill also has a good selection of items for meals or just a quick snack. We have also been to the clubhouse area and playground for some parties and events.

In Chapel Hill, "The Farm" refers to the private club of the UNC Faculty-Staff Recreation…read moreAssociation. It's kind of like a country club, but without a golf course. There are tennis courts, pickleball courts, swimming and diving pools, outdoor rock climbing walls, a gym, an outdoor basketball court, disc golf, beach volleyball, a clubhouse, playground, three shelters (pavilions) with wooden tables and benches, and more. Actually, it's more like a private park than a private country club. In terms of how nice The Farm is, I'd say it's on a public park level. When I saw The Farm is private, I was thinking it would be nicer and perhaps higher-end. Instead, it felt more like a small city park that happens to be private. My wife has been here multiple times for various UNC events. I attended one of the events with her. It took place at The Farm's clubhouse, the adjacent pavilion, and the playground. It was a family-friendly event. Parents brought their children who played on the playground. Food and drink were set up inside the clubhouse's kitchen. The clubhouse and overall grounds and facilities that I saw were modest. The shelter had string lighting lining the ceiling. The tables had a lot of what looked like dried-up paint/finger paint on them, presumably from kids' activities. It makes sense since the playground was right next to us. Also nearby was a bunch of bamboo which made for a good backdrop for group photos. During our Saturday afternoon visit, I saw people playing beach volleyball and the pool(s) looked busy. The Farm is located east of UNC campus, not far from the Chapel Hill-Durham border. It's off 54, accessible via Barbee Chapel Rd, just past UNC Finley Golf Course. It's due south from the Rizzo Center (south side of 54).

The Anne Gordon Center for Active Adults is located next to Millbrook Exchange Park. There is a…read morelarge parking lot and it is one of the locations for Raleigh Parks and Recreation. It has activities for those 50 and up. They offer classes on many topics from computers to fitness. Then offer arts and crafts, card games and book clubs. They also offer trips which is what I did and took a bus trip from the center. Some that went on the bus trip with me are going on the Alaska trip and others are doing indoor skydiving. I just signed up for a decluttering class. They have a book club that reads a story set in a NC place then they plan a trip to that town and the author usually comes or discusses the book too. Other times they read a book that was turned into a movie and watch the movie to discuss how it was similar and different from the book. This center provides a lot of activities for those looking for activities.
