Long Island is a beautiful place for senior citizens to happily spend their retirement. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of New York City, Long Island can be a quiet yet entertaining place to spend your retired years.
Retirement on Long Island includes beautiful afternoons on our sunny beaches, gorgeous sunsets, and peaceful walks down quiet neighborhood streets. There is plenty of fine dining, movie theaters, malls and parks to suit your needs. There's also a lot of fun activities specifically for senior citizens. The following is a list of a number of events that are held all over Long Island for the enjoyment of our beloved seniors!
1. For those seniors who aren't afraid to do something a little different, the Town of Oyster Bay offers ballroom dance instructions for residents 60 and over. Lessons take place at the William P. Bennett Community Center in Hicksville every Monday at 10am. It's a great way to learn something new, have some fun, and stay active!!
2. The Tanner Park Senior Center in Copiague is a great place for seniors to go with friends or meet new people their own age. Open Monday-Friday 9-4pm, they feature card playing, table games, bingo, billiards, lunch, arts and crafts, and other specially-scheduled programs! The Tanner Park Senior Center is a great place for seniors to socialize and keep their minds sharp!!
3. If you want to stay active but that ballroom dancing simply isn't for you then the Rainbow Senior Center in Lindenhurst might be! They offer Bend and Stretch classes Mondays and Wednesdays at 11am. This class is designed specifically for seniors, so don't be afraid it'll be too intense!
4. The Rainbow Senior Center also offers the Arts and Crafts club. A place to share and discuss craft ideas, open Mondays and Wednesdays 10am-2pm.
5. Another great place for seniors is Golden Opportunities at the Senior Community Service Center in Glen Cove. They offer a wide variety of diverse activities including trips, guest speakers, social cubs, exercise and bridge! Membership is free for residents and guest membership is available for Nassau County seniors!
6. And for all you men out there that simply have no interest in playing bridge with the ladies, the Plainview Senior Housing Facility has the North Shore Men's Club! A social club just for men 60 and over.
7. There is also the 'For Men Only' club at the Samuel Field YM & YWHA in Little Neck. The 'For Men Only' club is a discussion group open to men over the age of 80, open daily from 2pm-3pm.
As you can see, there are lots of activities on Long Island for retired senior citizens to stay active. There is plenty of fun to be had and a lot of new people to meet! Before you know it, you might be planning your own trip with your new friends!
