The Senior Center, formerly Parkway Elementary School, has served the needs of many for over 31 years. It has given older adults diversion providing educational, cultural, physical, social and recreational programs. The Senior Center was started with the hard work of Mary Staffold, who initially had a group called “The Golden Agers”. That group met in the basement of the South Milwaukee Library. With the help of the Community Block Grants, the Senior Center became a reality for her and others. She was the director from 1982 to August 1984. Theresa Bellone was the director from 1984 to May of 1990. The current director since June of 1990 is Sandra Quinlan. She continues the legacy of hard work and dedication to the seniors of the community. In 1994, the Senior Center name was changed to the Chester W. Grobschmidt Senior Center. It was Mayor Grobschmidt and City Administrator Norb Theine, who eagerly filled out the federal and state grant application forms the Friday after Thanksgiving in 1979. After Mayor Grobschmidt retired, it appeared only appropriate to name the Center after him. The Center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Website: Membership Information: Membership Fees: $20.00 Services: Fitness Class; Zumba Gold; Bingo; Quilting; Blood Pressures; Pinochle; 8-Ball; Sewing; Sheepshead; Shuffleboard; Oh Hell (cards); Card Class; Canasta; Cribbage League; Painting Class; Woodcarving; Line Dancing; Dartball; Calligraphy, etc. Age Requirements: Operation Time:
