Knoxville Senior Center visitors have done it again! They wanted a walking trail, and they got it. Knox County Mayor and 9th District Commissioners Paul Pinkston and Mike Brown cut the ribbon on the walking trail and pavilion, fully equipped with picnic tables last week. Covenant Health was on hand to present walkers with healthy walking techniques as the Mayor, Commissioners and seniors took an inaugural walk of the track.
In honor of the walking trail, the senior center has named their new walking program “Get on Track, South Knoxville.” As part of the program, seniors are encouraged to walk the trail every Tuesday (or more frequently) in October and November.
Open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. since the Fall of 2007, the Center offers recreational and programmatic activities for residents aged 50 and up. This Center is also the only one to offer an indoor swimming pool available for recreational swimming, scheduled water aerobics and arthritis water exercise programs.
