By 2010, the baby -boom generation will make up more than two
thirds of the 50 -plus population and Senior Centers will be changing to
attract and serve this unique and active population. A busy group of
people, boomers are opting out of the rocking chair to pursue numerous
interests and activities.They will be using their new found time and
freedom to follow new paths that include continuing education, turning
hobbies into small businesses or caring for grandchildren while parents
make a living. And with life spans on the upswing, the booming senior
populations will be doing all of these things longer.
In the future, Multipurpose Centers for Active Adults will serve as gateways
to senior service networks as well as destinations. The service delivery
possibilities are endless:
• programs for health, fitness and wellness
• opportunities for socializing, education, recreation, arts, travel,
volunteerism, social and community action
• resources for insurance, medication, tax, finance and legal information
• assistance with meals, nutrition, adult daycare, caregiver relief,
employment and transportation.
As our older population increases and changes, Active Adult Centers will
adapt existing methods while inventing new ones to ensure their ability
to meet the needs and aspirations of seniors in the twenty-first century.
Approximately one quarter of Yakima's population — 20,000 individuals
— is fifty years old or older. At the same time, the city's median household
income is $29,706 which increases the value of public activities, programs
and services to the city's residents. Services for seniors represent an
exciting opportunity for investment in the future and for enhancement
Yaki m a's quality of life.
One possible site for a new center is Gailleon Park at 65th and Summitview
Avenues. The location is ripe for development and would provide an excellent site for
an active adult center. The land was donated to the City in 1974 by the Clevenger
Family and the name Gailleon was derived from the names of two of their children.
Attributes that make the property attractive include the following:
4.5 acres — plenty of room for a center, landscaping and parking.
Land is owned by the city and is available for development.
Summitview location is compatible with Active Adults Center concept.
A recent survey shows 80% of current center users reside west of 16th Avenue.
Surrounded by well-established residential neighborhoods.
Rapidly developing neighorhoods to the west.
Located on a major arterial with direct bus service.
• Westside location mirrors and complements eastside location of existing Yakima
Senior Center.
• The Clevenger Family would like to see the land put to a use that would benefit
the community.
