Sunland Park Honors Older Adults on National Senior Citizens Day
The City of Sunland Park is marking National Senior Citizens Day on August 21 by recognizing the daily contributions of local older adults and highlighting the services available through the Sunland Park Senior Citizen Center.
Older adults play a vital role in the community, bringing years of experience, professional wisdom, and civic dedication to Sunland Park. Many stay active in the workforce as consultants, while others dedicate their time to local volunteer efforts and family caregiving.
To support their independence and quality of life, the Sunland Park Senior Citizen Center serves as a central hub for residents aged 55 and older. While its primary location is at 1010 McNutt Rd., operations are currently taking place out of the Sports Complex at 4700 McNutt Rd. due to facility upgrades. The center continues to provide daily resources designed to keep participants connected and active.
The Sunland Park Senior Citizen Center operates Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Residents interested in registering for programs or scheduling transportation can call the center directly at (575) 589-1256 or visit the temporary location at the Sports Complex during normal operational hours.
