Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, Commission Chairman Brad Anders and other elected officials joined Veterans and Senior Services Director Robert "Buzz" Buswell and Senior Services Manager April Tomlin to cut the ribbon on the new Karns Senior Center on July 24, 2015. This center offers the same high-level of programming that is offered at the county’s other five centers.

Karns Senior Center features a workout room equipped with ellipticals, recumbent bikes, treadmills, weight machine, and free weights. There’s also a variety of exercise classes offered to assist participants in reaching their health and fitness goals contributing to maintaining optimal health. The center also features a computer lab, billiards room, outdoor grill and kitchen area, sizeable multi-purpose room for group exercises, lunch and learns, and other activities. We're also beginning card groups and other fun social activities for engaging seniors. Adjacent to the grounds of the Sportspark there’s also a paved outdoor walking track. Reference our monthly calendar and newsletter for upcoming activities and events. We look forward to seeing you enjoy the new Karns Senior Center.
