Cockeysville Senior Center

History

The Cockeysville Senior Center is a nationally accredited, very active senior center which provides programs and services that support the senior residents of Baltimore County in their efforts to remain healthy, active and independent members of the community. Read about current happenings and events in our monthly newsletter, "Cockeysville Chronicle" (PDF), the monthly publication that highlights the classes and programs scheduled at the center as well as the services provided by the Baltimore County Department of Aging.

The Cockeysville Senior Center opened in 1999 and is adjacent to the old Cockeysville Elementary School, which now houses the Warren Place Apartments. This center is unique because it is the only Baltimore County senior center that has a senior housing development and a fitness center located on its premises. Cockeysville was the first "senior friendly" fitness center to open in a Baltimore County senior center. It has state-of-the-art equipment that includes treadmills, recumbent bikes and steppers, strength training circuits, flexibility stations, free weights and more. The fitness center project is operated in partnership with Towson University College of Health Professions.

The Cockeysville Senior Center serves members of the urban and suburban areas of Baltimore County. Also located on the premises are a tennis court, a basketball court and two ball fields, which are maintained by the Baltimore County Department of Recreation and Parks. This location is very accessible to public transportation, grocery stores and medical facilities. The Cockeysville Senior Center has been open since March 1999.
