Activities at Parker Ridge

There is always something going on at Parker Ridge! Our full-time Activities Coordinator tailors events and activities to the desires of our residents. The schedule is full of a constantly changing array of group activities, guest speakers, educational classes, exercise programs, music recitals, art classes, ice cream socials, and area outings. Many residents enjoy selecting or leading activities, assisting with events, or helping choose the destination for a lunch outing. You never know where the Romeos and Juliets will be headed next for a meal (ask us how this group’s name came about!).

Our activities room is home to many art classes, crafting sessions, and presentations. Enjoy a game of pool, chess, or bridge in the game room or step into the fitness center, which features a treadmill, stationary bike, Health Rider, Nordic Track, and weights. Our regularly scheduled low-impact exercise groups are lead by a guest instructor and target strengthening, balance, and conditioning.
