Mission Statement
To enhance the quality of life for Senior Adults by promoting and providing health and safety information, referral services, educational opportunities and leisure recreational activities.

The former downtown YMCA building at 427 South Church Street was purchased by the City in 2003 and reopened as the Rocky Mount Senior Center on May 31, 2006. Using the former YMCA for a senior center is appealing because of its central location in the downtown area. The small park across Church Street from the building, which has a one-fifth mile walking track, is used daily by seniors and the community. For more information about the facility and senior programming, contact the Senior Center at 252-972-1152.
