Penfield Parks & Recreation

Penfield Recreation offers Penfield Seniors free Lifelong Learning opportunities through the Daytime Education at Recreation (DEAR) program. The DEAR schedule is available online on the DEAR calendar at www.penfieldrec.org. Daytime Education at Recreation - DEAR - Wisdom at its finest hour. Penfield Recreation offers classes and lectures to our consortium of lifetime learners. The program engages senior adults in intellectual, socially viable cognitive activities to help keep minds sharp and alert while reducing the risk or delaying the onset of age-related concerns. Daytime Education at Recreation at Penfield Community Center has become an important staple to adults who understand the significance of this idea and would like to reshape the way they spend leisure time, meeting new and interesting people along the way. Join the national movement to learn and share life experience with others, exploring the multitude of free programs available. Programs are open to non-residents a week after registration has begun.
