Recreation activities at Peabody Retirement Community

Residents at Peabody Retirement Community enjoy many activities hosted by our Recreational Services Department, by other residents, and by residents enjoy outside gathering with family members of the community. There are numerous opportunities for staying fit -- from walking throughout the 33 acre campus to range-of-motion exercise groups conducted by skilled leaders.

On-campus groups - Peabody hosts many groups and "clubs" ranging from Bible study to quilting to contemporary fiction to veteran. See our Resident Groups page for more information on the exciting groups available at Peabody.

Off-campus excursions - On a regular schedule, the Peabody "bus" is loaded with residents and heads off to destinations both traditional and exotic. If you enjoy the water, regular trips are made to several of the local lakes and reservoirs. Is theater your passion? Enjoy an evening trip to a dinner-theater at the Wagon Wheel Theater in neighboring Warsaw, Indiana. The Wagon Wheel features in 2004 include Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" and "Smokey Joe's Cafe" featuring live renditions of classic tunes from the 1950's and 60's.

Maybe shopping is more to your liking. The bus visits famous and local retail destinations, antique and curiosity shops, all found within a day's drive from our campus.

Who doesn't enjoy a tantalizing meal? The Recreational Services Department sure does! Come with us as we go for ice cream on the shores of Lake Webster, seafood at one of the fine restaurants found in "Lake City" or a good ol' slab of beef at any number of local steakhouses. Of course, a light lunch at the Botanical gardens is also on the schedule, as is an annual wine and cheese banquet right on the Peabody Campus.

The number and the interest of groups you can join is limited only by your imagination, energy and available time. Get involved and have fun in a safe and uplifting environment -- and live better because of it.
