A Little History

The Pikesville Senior Center celebrated its 25th year anniversary in May 2004. The center began in a storefront on Reisterstown Road in 1979. In 1982, Baltimore County Department of Aging, Baltimore County Department of Health and the Baltimore County Library built a new facility. Due to tremendous growth, the senior center gained the entire second floor when the Department of Health moved. In 2007, renovation of the entire facility has resulted in a beautiful new facade and interior.

Something for Everyone

With more than 60 classes being offered per week and an array of special events, there really is something for everyone. The center offers many levels of exercise programs from high impact aerobics or circuit weight training to PACE (People with Arthritis Can Exercise) or Tai Chi. In the Fall of 2007, Pikesville Senior Center opened its new fitness center, offering individual, structured fitness programs for senior participants.
