All Activities and Classes Require Advance Online Registration with COVID-19 Protocols in Place

The City of Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs will begin offering senior activities and classes at the Bob Cecile Community Center (174 W. Seneca Turnpike) and Magnarelli Community Center (2300 Grant Blvd.), between the hours of 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. beginning Monday, May 17, by advanced online registration only.

“For the last year our seniors have missed out on the social connection they feel when visiting our senior centers,” said Parks Commissioner Julie LaFave. “Safely restarting senior programming allows a sense of normalcy for everyone as we continue to move forward.”
