Pleasant Hill Needs a New Senior Center

Thanks to Tom and Ruby MacDonald, owners of three Pleasant Hill retirement communities (The Chateau Pleasant Hll, Chateau II, and Chateau III), plans have been drawn up, and a committee has been formed to find a way to fund and build a new, larger, up-to-date center to serve the growing needs of Pleasant Hill Seniors

If all goes as planned, the new Pleasant Hill Senior Center will:

  • Be built on the same site as the existing center (at the rear of the property)
  • Allow construction to occur while the existing center continues to operate
  • Consolidate activities from four buildings into one

If funded, the new facility will include:

  • A dining room and large meeting room that can double as a second dining room (capacity, 250 persons)
  • Exercise room
  • Rooms for classes, activiteis, computer labs, and meetings
  • Large outdoor deck with a view of the natural setting of Pleasant Hill Park

There will be more parking and more space for the welcoming, friendly people and the unique programs at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center.
