Goodman Community Center | Older Adult Program & Activities

What makes this older adult community so special?

The Goodman Community Center is a space for gathering, and we host a variety of events to bring members of our senior community together for fun activities and good conversation. Your health and wellness is important to us, so we also offer a variety of physical and mental health opportunities too. All of this is wrapped up in a community that is welcoming, warm and inclusive.

Check out our activities and stop by. We hope to see you soon!

All of our older adult programming is open to all individuals ages 50+, with the exception of our 60+ weekday meals.

“The programs are thoughtfully designed for our well-being. I’ve made lifelong friends and feel truly connected here.”

Activity locations

Older adult programming is a mix of in-person and virtual events.

In-person activities are held in Goodman's Ironworks building at 149 Waubesa St. unless otherwise noted. Transportation options are available upon request.

The front desk is happy to answer any questions about program location during the center's open hours.

In case of inclement weather

Older adult programming, including weekday meals, will be cancelled if the Madison Schools are closed due to snow. For the safety of all, programming may pause in the case of tornado or severe thunderstorm warnings.

If the Madison Schools are closed as a result of a planned closure, or if a blizzard, ice or storm warning is issued, Goodman Community Center will cancel the older adult meal. Please check our Facebook page for the most up-to-date information.
