Senior Activities All Around Brisbane
Many people think that once you retire and your kids have left home, there’s not much left to life anymore. But nothing can be farther from the truth. Age is just a number. Life still has so much to offer and the best thing is, now you have time to explore it all!
Brisbane is proud to offer a host of activities designed for the senior community to help you feel involved, to help your cognitive skills and mental health, and to help you enjoy the rest of your vibrant life.
1. Play Mahjong at Mitchelton Library
Free
Mahjong is a Chinese game of strategy with a touch of chance. It’s the perfect way to sit back, give your brain a workout, and enjoy some good-natured banter with your peers. As of this writing, sessions are scheduled on Tuesdays from 8:30am to 12:30pm at the Mitchelton Library. That said, the best way to confirm the latest details or any changes is to check the Brisbane City Council website at https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/

2. Exercise at Tavernetta Function Centre
Aching muscles come with age but with frequent exercise, you’ll feel like you’re still at your prime. If you’re not into anything too strenuous or heavy, Zumba Gold is a milder alternative to the energetic original but still gets the job done. Plus it’s fun! Do your body a favor and get it swinging to the beat every week at the Tavernetta Function Centre.
3. Knit for a cause at Mitchelton Library
Free
Are you a knitting enthusiast? The Purlers is a group of knitters who donate their creations to charity. Join them at 1PM every Thursday at the Mitchelton Library. It’s a great way to get those hands busy and gossip and laugh with friends, all for a cause!
4. Read a book at Hamilton Library
Reading is a great way to keep your cognition sharp. And what makes reading more fun than to discuss the book together with a group after. Hamilton Library hosts the Hamilton Happy Readers every third Wednesday of every month from 1:30PM-2:30PM.
5. Write at Kenmore Library
Was writing something you always wanted to do when you were younger but you took a different path instead? Now can be the time to return to that dream! Budding writers can join the Kenmore Writing Group at the Kenmore Library and hone their skills every third Tuesday of every month.
