Description: This center is open to participants who are at least 50 years young. The facility has meeting space, ceramics and craft rooms, and a pecan shelling facility.

Programs at the center include health and wellness, education, dance groups and classes, bridge, pinochle, and needlepoint groups, and defensive driving and computer classes.

In the spring of 2008, Austin Parks Foundation gave a grant to help volunteers install a landscaped wildlife habitat along the main entrance to the building. Seniors added a limestone wall and a small fountain, along with a variety of plants to provide food, shelter, and water to native birds and insect life.
