This is a great place to go for exercise and arts and crafts (two of the things I love). The staff is friendly so are the patrons. It's a great place to go for community. If you want to get out of the house and be around others Wilson Senior Center is the place to be. read more

Anne Gordon Center for Active Adults

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.

They offer all kinds of classes, including art, fitness and cooking, and they offer social programs, too. I took a cooking class there last week, and their kitchen is well-appointed and modern. Their fitness room has treadmills, ellipticals and more, and is free to Apex residents. Class prices for Apex residents are always very good. A few classes, including my cooking class, are free! Most classes are during the day, but they're starting to offer a few in the evenings, and the fitness room, which is open until 8:30 p.m. on weekdays, will be open on Saturdays, starting in September.

New to retirement I've talked to family friends in FL and CA asking about their local Senior Center. No One has what Cary has to offer. Several classes are free. My favorite is the line dancing classes. They hold several for beginners all the way to a group who will compete in the National Senior Games. My class consists of 65 women, different ages/ethnicity but all kicking it dancing to country-western to hip hop. I was stunned by how friendly and encouraging everyone was toward me. Did I mention it's free? So this is for those folks who maybe in their 50's + new to the area to come to the center and check it out. They also have volunteers to help with Medicare enrollment, etc. Beautiful setting in Bond Park off High House. We are very fortunate to have so much to offer our "seniors" here in Cary and the surrounding area. Program catalogs are published by Cary Parks and Rec. Stay Active and Have Fun!

There is a lot in front of the building but we didn't want to pay to park. Had we read the entire sign, we would have noticed that parking for the center during the day was free. See my pic. Our event was in the downstairs space. There were tables set up and it was a good space for the event. Restrooms were close by. The ladies room had a terrible smell. I went in quickly to wash my hands only. The space in general looked nice. But I can't comment on anything they have to offer for Durham seniors.

The life guards were very attentive. This is the perfect summer time activity or even date. We brought a cooler with sandwiches and Gatorade, you'll def want to utilize that perk of bringing your own cooler. I really like that you also can buy admission without waterpark access , different strokes for different folks! Everyone's covered and considered in their ticketing

Gives them an opportunity to earn some money during the season. We got the aquabana as they call it, for half a day (4 hours) and it was worth it ! We didn't swim but the kids did and they had a blast! You're able to bring a cooler with food and drinks ( juice, tea, soda, water. No alcohol) they have a food truck on site, as well as a "dirty soda" stand. Flavored sodas with cream (very popular in Utah but slowly making their way to the east coast) as well as a first aid bungalow. Everyone gets a life vest but kids under 18 MUST wear theirs at all times! I like that rule! Keeps the kids safe. Of course the teens working there are certified lifeguards just in case! They also offer scuba classes/lessons at the quarry. Would I come back? YES! Maybe one day I would try the courses and swim or paddle board but the go around it was nice relaxing and letting the kids live carefree in the lake!

You can also rent it out for birthday parties. This is an affordable option for families who cannot afford the large theme parks. I paid $4 per child for admission. The staff was professional and worked hard to keep track of abiding by capacity rules by using a system similar to restaurant reservations where you receive a text message when it's your swim time. There was a Hour and 15 min wait for the Memorial Day holiday. We remained in the waiting area which has a television for kids to enjoy a movie while waiting. My daughter loved the large yellow slide and whirl pool. We intend to visit again. Loved how professional the front desk staff and life guards were. A must do when in Raleigh.

I mean everyone of the staff I met that work here, was always nice and friendly. I never had a problem coming here. They would also help you too if you needed it. I hope the next gym I join is just as nice as this one. Most of the time, as soon as you walk in, you give them your card, they check you in, and ask you if you need a locker and/or towel. Then, I usually go to the treadmill. Their treadmills are so advanced that you can watch TV on them while exercising. Next, I usually take a shower. Then, I hook up to their WiFi and check my email using my Laptop. It's a pretty cool place. I always liked coming here.

The sand is coarse because of scattered pebbles and bits of wood, so bring floppers for comfort. The water is clean and safe. Two large buildings are available for changing and showering.

Entrance fees: $10 per vehicle, $5 for seniors.

Perfect for families and small children. You can access the beach on Creedmoor Rd. This was the perfect place for a convenient beach day 4th of July weekend. It saved me the 4 hour trip to Bear Island. I arrived early around 10:30 a.m. and there were no crowds. We camped out near the showers and bathrooms. This park is perfectly lined with trees in abundance. Perfect for barbecuing. We enjoyed our morning picnic and the water was very relaxing. I appreciate how clean the sand area was and the garbage was well organized as well. I brought my mother who is 72 and I had concerns about the proximity of the restrooms and showers and overall access. I was relieved to discover how convenient the beach access was for those with mobility impairment and disabilities. There are no pets allowed and no alcohol permitted. I watched the park rangers escort someone with a pit bull to the parking lot to return home and a woman was asked to dump out several beer cans. You have been warned. They run a tight ship here. I plan to return throughout the remainder of the summer months.
