The Corona Senior Center, located at 921 South Belle Avenue in Corona, California, operates under the city’s Community Services Department and serves as a vital resource and activity hub for residents aged 50 and older. Its primary mission is to foster a welcoming environment that promotes a healthy, active lifestyle and builds a strong sense of community among seniors. The center offers opportunities for social interaction, personal development, and access to essential services. Operating hours are generally Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., providing a regular schedule for participation throughout the week.

A diverse range of programs caters to various interests and promotes overall well-being.

Social and recreational activities are abundant, featuring billiards (including tournaments), various card games, dances, monthly birthday celebrations, holiday-themed parties, and other special events designed to encourage engagement and camaraderie.

Beyond recreation and socialization, the Corona Senior Center provides crucial support and educational resources. A key offering is the daily congregate lunch program, served Monday through Friday around noon, providing nutritious meals (reservations typically required, with a suggested donation for those 60+). The center partners with organizations like Feeding America for additional food assistance through programs like the Senior Mobile Pantry or Brown Bag programs. Educational opportunities include lectures presented by professionals like doctors, nutritionists, lawyers, and life coaches covering relevant topics.[1] The center also facilitates access to other resources, potentially including legal services, tax assistance (often via AARP), and information on transportation like the city’s Dial-A-Ride service for eligible seniors.
