View Full Version : Senior Wellness Centers shawnw 12-19-2018, 10:28 AM 15078 Laramie 12-19-2018, 10:58 AM This is a good area for a senior wellness center on the east side. It's in walking distance of Ralph Ellison Library & Tinker Federal Credit Union; also many of the senior assisted living centers and senior centers are located in the area. hoya 12-19-2018, 01:32 PM Seems like a good place for an expanded streetcar system to hit.

HOT ROD 10-15-2019, 12:59 AM Far NW, Capital Hill, Eastside, Far S. Now we need in inner city N Central, perhaps downtown, far North, West, and maybe far SE. Then the city is fully covered - no excuses! Ditto the same sections/locations for Youth Centers (maybe a few more though). Build these and along with the new gyms, fitness centers, Y's, and parks - watch OKC quickly get off those nasty fat and weight lists. Already should be making a push with the recent developments, but I'd say we're half done. Downtown needs a few more private gyms and maybe even some clubs.

I think the original goal was 1500. Laramie 09-23-2021, 01:43 PM Far NW, Capital Hill, Eastside, Far S. Now we need in inner city N Central, perhaps downtown, far North, West, and maybe far SE.

Downtown, there are two YMCAs: Gaylord Branch @ 1 N.W. 4th Street & Main Street YMCA 100 W. Main. Most Medicare plans pay for the memberships, so look for long-term financial support for these centers. A Senior Wellness Center isn't needed downtown. |
