Celebrating Our Seniors: Ladies Exercise Class 💪

As we celebrate National Senior Citizen Center Month, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our wonderful senior programs—the Ladies Exercise Class!

This free, volunteer-led class meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00–9:30 AM at the Senior Center. With a wide range of ages represented, the ladies enjoy not only staying active, but also the friendship, laughter, and fellowship that come with it.

💬 Hear what one of our volunteers has to say about the program:

“The class was first started through another organization. When that organization later started its own class, the ladies wanted to stay at the Senior Center and decided to volunteer to keep the class going. The class has been led by volunteers for many years, and the current volunteer has led the class for 8 years! There are even some ladies who have attended the class for over 20 years!”

What a wonderful example of how our Senior Center programs bring people together, keep our community active, and create friendships that last for years.

Would you like to join? Drop in and see what the Ladies Exercise Class can bring to your day! We’d love to have you!

Due to necessary structural repairs, Waterloo Pool will be closed until further notice. This measure comes after an evaluation by our Fire Marshal's Office and is out of an abundance of caution for patrons, and staff.

We know Waterloo Pool is a special place for so many families in our community, especially during the summer months. We share in the disappointment of those who were looking forward to spending time at the pool.

City staff will be reaching out directly to groups and individuals with pre-scheduled programming and reservations to discuss next steps.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this closure may cause. We appreciate our community’s patience and understanding as staff continues work with consultants to determine the best path forward.

If you need immediate assistance, please email: [email protected]

Friday Night Starts at the Tailgate 🏈💛

The Yellow Jacket game-day experience starts long before kickoff! Join us Friday at Forest Park for an evening filled with tailgating, community, and plenty of Yellow Jacket spirit.

Bring the whole family and enjoy food, vendors, radio, inflatables, and activities before the excitement kicks off. At 5:15 PM, watch the Yellow Jackets make their walk down Touchdown Alley before heading into the stadium.

Then, get ready for an epic Drum Off featuring the DISD Band and Sherman ISD Band before cheering on the Yellow Jackets as they take on Sherman!

And while you're enjoying the tailgate, be sure to stop by the Parks and Recreation tent. If you're our contest winner, that's where you'll pick up this year's team-autographed football!

Want to enter?

The contest runs Monday through Thursday at midnight. The winner will be contacted and can pick up the autographed football Friday at the Parks and Recreation tent.
