Walker House Adult Recreation Centre |
Walker House Adult Activity Centre opened its doors in 1986. What once housed Wanaco's head office, a local manufacturing company, was gifted to the Town of Prescott when the company decided to locate its office within their plant uptown. The property came with some strict regulations, instructing the Town to always have the facility open as a seniors activity centre.
Walker House is open seven days per week, all year round and is wheelchair accessible. Services are offered to enrich the quality of life for older adults through recreational, educational and health promotion programs. Activities include: crafts, cards, exercises, weaving, music, food, out-trips and special events.
Membership to Walker House is $15 per year for Prescott residents. There's an additional $25 user fee for the town if you live outside Prescott town limits. Everyone is welcome to participate in a trial period to decide if Walker House is a good fit before joining.
You can find more information on the Walker House Adult Recreation Centre Website. |
