Many active seniors enjoy golf in their leisure time. Pueblo's climate allows the city's municipal golf course to be playable on more days than many other courses in the state. The city's two municipal golf courses are Elmwood and Walking Stick. Elmwood features thousands of tress that line the course's fairways and surround its tee boxes. Walking Stick is an 18-hole course that features a restaurant and a pro shop. Both courses offer discounted greens fees for seniors, as well as discounts on cart rental.
An activity for senior citizens in Pueblo is participation in the city's foster grandparent program. The program pairs willing seniors in Pueblo with students that have special needs in the city's schools, daycares and Head Start Programs. Seniors need to complete a training class before they will be given the opportunity to participate in the program. After completing training, foster grandparents are given the opportunity to work with struggling children and help them further their education, overcome obstacles and build meaningful relationships.
Many seniors choose to spend their free time learning new skills and refining skills that they have used in the past. Pueblo's Senior Resource Development Agency offers a wide array of classes in various subjects. Seniors can learn about the Internet and computers one week while learning about basic painting techniques the next. Other classes that are offered include line dancing and coupon clipping basics.
Pueblo's Senior Resource Development Agency offers a weekly dance for seniors. Every Monday night at 7, seniors can get out on the dance floor and cut a rug. Seniors can show off their moves in a variety of dances, including waltzes, polkas and the fox trot. For those that aren't familiar with line dancing, the center also offers line dancing classes on Thursday afternoons.
