Central Las Vegas

The Central Las Vegas area surrounding downtown and the city core offers ArchWell Health members an engaging blend of wellness programs, community centers, parks, and cultural amenities—perfect for staying active, social, and inspired.

Begin with local senior-friendly programming available through city and county centers. The Cora Coleman Senior Center, operated by Clark County at 2100 Bonnie Lane, offers fitness classes, indoor lap swimming, arts and crafts, game rooms, and nutrition workshops in a welcoming setting for community members 50+. The former Las Vegas Senior Center building (451 E Bonanza) now houses the Dula Community Center, which hosts cooking and wellness workshops, Senior Idol showcases, computer classes, dance, and trips throughout the valley.

Another key destination is the Derfelt Senior Center at West Washington Ave, known for a wide variety of offerings including aerobics, arts and crafts, dance, yoga, gardening, social events, and recreational day trips across Las Vegas.

For organized exercise and wellness opportunities, the City of Las Vegas Active Adults Program (active adult centers such as Centennial Hills and Doolittle) offers strength and balance classes, hydration walks, educational talks, art projects, and computer labs, typically requiring only a modest annual membership fee (~$10) and low supplemental charges for fitness access.

When nature and fresh air call, Lorenzi Park, one of Las Vegas’s oldest green spaces, offers shaded walking pathways, peaceful ponds, picnic shelters, and restored historic features like band shell islands—allowing for gentle outdoor activity in a historic garden setting . For larger-scale outdoor engagement, Sunset Regional Park offers walking trails totaling 3.5 miles, fishing spots, tennis and disc‑golf courts, and seasonal community events like the Renaissance Fair—all in a spread‑out, accessible layout .

Although formal cooking classes are less common in central neighborhoods, wellness and healthy‑eating workshops are woven into community center offerings. Both the Derfelt and Cora Coleman centers periodically host nutrition seminars, cooking demos, and communal food-related events designed with older adults in mind.

Cultural and social enrichment is right around the corner downtown. Central Las Vegas includes vibrant areas such as Symphony Park, the Arts District (18b), and the Historic Downtown corridor—home to accessible live theater at the Smith Center, monthly First Friday art events, and neighborhood walking tours suited for slow-paced group outings .

Whether you're walking under leafy trees, joining a senior stretch class, exploring arts and gardens, or attending a cooking or wellness workshop, life in Central Las Vegas provides ArchWell Health members with varied ways to move, learn, and connect—right in the heart of the city.
