Peterborough Senior Center
In 1998, Fenway CDC opened the Peterborough Senior Center in the West Fenway. Since then, the Center has become an important congregating place for Fenway seniors. The Center and the programs that take place in it enrich the lives of seniors and address the isolation that leads to depression, poor health habits, and lack of emotional and health-related support. Programs at the Center include a broad range of health and physical-activity-related services, arts and cultural activities, intergenerational programs, educational programs and opportunities for civic engagement. Each week, between 75 and 100 seniors participate in programs at the Center, evidence of the need for these services.
This senior center is located on Jersey Street between Peterborough and Queensberry streets, down the driveway between 100 and 108 Jersey Street. Its hours are Monday through Thursday, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It’s accessible from the #55 Queensberry bus stop at the corner of Queensberry and Jersey streets. Monthly activities are published in the Fenway News or on this webpage, and may include the following:
