Greensboro Parks and Recreation Annual Report 2024-25

8 50+ Hiking Club Hits New Highs The 50+ Hiking Club had 127 members in 2024-25, the most in the club’s history. Formerly the “Seniors Hiking Club,” this group of hiking enthusiasts has been in existence since the late 1980s, and continues to hike each Wednesday morning from September through June at locations throughout the area – there is one current member from the inaugural club from the 1980s! The club is open to any Guilford County resident ages 50 and over. Active Adults Staying active as one gets older can be tough, but luckily Greensboro Parks and Recreation’s Active Adults programming is here to help adults ages 50 and over stay socially engaged and mentally, physically, and emotionally in shape! Thanks in part to the hard work of the Active Adults staff – who lead the way in providing programming dedicated to helping advance the quality of life for the City’s older demographic – the section celebrated multiple milestones throughout the 2024-25 fiscal year. Such acomplishments include the section seeing record turnouts for clubs and the ever popular Greater Greensboro Senior Games and Silver Arts Competition, while the Smith Active Adult Center once again received its recertification as a North Carolina Senior Center of Excellence.
