Our Message
HBCOA at the forefront of aging issues
Officially recognized by the City Council of Huntington Beach as representing its local senior citizens, the HBCOA was awarded non-profit status in 1973 and has always been at the forefront of aging issues. During the design stage of the new Senior Center in Central Park, the City Council directed the HBCOA to provide input related to the overall design of the new center.

Happy New Year from everyone at the Huntington Beach Council on Aging! The past year at the Senior Center in Central Park was filled with opportunities for learning, growth, and community connection.

Hello everyone,
As we move into February, I'm filled with gratitude for the vibrant community we continue to build together here at our center. The start of 2025 has already brought so many wonderful moments of connection and friendship among our participants. This month, we're excited to embrace the spirit of togetherness with a special event: A Tribute to Love. Join us on Saturday, February 22, 2025, 4:00-6:00 p.m., for a two-hour musical performance produced by Nancy’s Cabaret, highlighting performances of Broadway Musicals, and unforgettable crooners of the mid-20th century. For information on purchasing tickets, please contact the Senior Center in Central Park at 714-536-5600. I want to especially acknowledge our dedicated volunteers and staff who make our center such a welcoming place. Their commitment to serving our community continues to inspire me daily. Whether they're greeting visitors at the front desk or helping in our kitchen, they truly are the heart of our center. I want to thank the HBCOA for their continued support of the Senior Center in Central Park and their devotion to providing older adults with life-enriching services aimed at fostering independence and active aging. As the winter continues, please remember that we're here to support you. Our transportation services are available for those who need assistance getting to and from the center and our staff is always ready to help connect you with resources you might need. Stay warm, stay active, and most importantly, stay connected. Our doors are always open for you to join us for a warm meal, an engaging activity, or simply a friendly conversation.
