Whether wandering riverfront gardens or attending a cooking workshop, the city supports healthy aging with accessible experiences tailored for older adults.

Begin your day along the water at Riverfront Park & Stadium. This scenic riverwalk includes paved paths with benches, shaded green spaces, and public amphitheater events—ideal for gentle exercise and outdoor enjoyment. Nearby, Wright Brothers Park offers a peaceful overlook of the Alabama River, with benches, picnic shelters, and smooth walkways—perfect for moments of reflection or light movement. 

Artful and accessible treasures surround Blount Cultural Park, home to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. Inside and within the adjoining sculpture garden, older adults can explore accessible galleries, take part in art workshops, or enjoy docent‑led sessions in calm, well‑lit spaces.

For civic and civil‑rights history, the Rosa Parks Museum—located on the Troy University downtown campus—is fully accessible, features interactive exhibits, and offers senior discounts. Nearby, walking tours of Cloverdale’s historic district provide a serene walk through tree‑lined streets steeped in local history. 

Staying socially active is easy through the city’s organized offerings. The Montgomery Parks “Age 55+” Program includes Montgomery Explorers, a weekly walking club on paved park trails, plus a monthly Nature Book Club focused on conservation literature. These guided experiences are low-impact, supportive, and great ways to meet peers. 

For lifelong learning, the Montgomery Art Center (The MAC) hosts community workshops in painting, jewelry, music, and cooking, with classes suited to flexibility and accessibility. And Trenholm State Community College offers public culinary demonstrations in healthy home‑cooking, nutrition, and traditional Southern baking—often led by approachable local chefs in comfortable, well‑configured kitchen spaces. 

Community centers add to daily vibrancy. The Crump Senior Center and Archibald Center serve residents with gentle fitness classes, social programming, arts & crafts, and tech labs—all designed for accessibility and peer connection. Meal services, craft days, chair yoga, and outings are available regularly. 

Whether you're strolling riverside gardens, learning a new hobby, or joining a friendly walking group, Montgomery provides older adults with an accessible, arts‑rich, and nature‑filled lifestyle full of wellness, discovery, and meaningful social connection.
