cool activities for seniors in the bay area
Like to get your hands dirty? This Saturday, from 9-12 you will have your chance. Find out how to join the volunteer crew that maintains the Marin Headlands Nursery for the Golden Gate Parks Conservancy at Fort Cronkhite.
Near the top of the list of dreamy, bosky local rambles is the 2.5 mile loop around Bon Tempe reservoir on the northwestern slope of Mt.Tamalpais. It is encircled by a deep, cool forest of fir, madrones, redwoods with dense patches of ferns and irises. The lake itself is home to swooping families of mallards, […]
Just motoring and perambulating around the shores of the Bay you can catch sight of awkwardly elegant herons but if you’re curious about their lives and behaviors, meet up at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park this Saturday May 13 and 20 for a much better informed Heron Watch.

You missed the deadline for competing in the 2017 Bay Area Senior Games but there’s non-stop spectating to enjoy at this celebration of geriatric jocks over the next month.

Head out Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to Lagunitas. Just before […]
Battling for its place as the top event hitting the Bay Area this dance crazed weekend is Turfin’ vs.the World. From 12 to 6 in Jack London Square the best Oakland street dancers will be pumping up their popping, locking, story telling and miming in acrobatic combat, some on which include audience participation. Think I’ll […]
