Mira Mesa Senior Center

I used to live in Mira Mesa. I like how everything is so close to home. I performed at this Senior Center in the past (pre Unilocal) and also attended private parties and major events. The most recent event was the welcoming of District 6 Councilman Chris Cate. I wish I was able to arrive early to get parking. The Senior Center shares the parking lot with the Teen Center and the public park, so parking here is very tight. I had to circle the parking lot multiple times, before I was able to get good parking. People also tend to take up two spaces. The other parking option is to park on the side streets and walk through the grass (don’t recommend if wearing heels or nice shoes) or park near the basketball courts and take the pathway (long walk if you’re elderly). Another option would be to carpool or have someone drop you off and pick you up. The Senior Center is a nice place to hold meetings, private parties and other venues.

I’ve been here several times for various events. I have came during the Mira Mesa Town Council meetings, Volunteer of the Year Award, and for the Fil-​Am meeting they have monthly.
Most recently I came for a Fil-​Am event/​meeting. The entire center was used as a dance floor with a band in the front of the room. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. What a great place for our senior community to get together, dress up and have fun! I wish my parents lived closer so that they can come to these events.
The people are so warm and friendly and they welcome everyone. I hope the center continues to remain in tact and for the community to continue using this center for various events.

Sat., July 20, 2013. I had the pleasure of providing «photo booth» coverage for a birthday event (private party). I was pleasantly surprised the venue was clean, spacious, and accommodating to all the guests. The location was easily accessible from Mira Mesa Blvd (main road). Although I only occupied about a 12’x12’ space, the space was perfect for ALL the party guests. I recommend any and all interested in booking this place. Thank you, MMSC, I’ll be back.

This senior center offers a great deal for local seniors: exercise, art, line dancing, social activities, and hot meals at noon. It is very well run, exclusively by volunteers, and has maintained financial independence by renting out space for private parties. Come by and see for yourself.

This place has been around forever. I mean FOREVER, I remember driving past here when I was still in Kindergarten, and that was back in the 70s.
Now I’m here with my Mom and her BFF (I refuse to believe that they’re senior citizens now, I mean it’s my MOM and she’s forever young to me) on Friday nights because they offer group coordinated line dancing for 2 hours starting at 7PM. Now I came into this thinking it was going to be honky-​tonk drunken redneck line dancing, but it’s older and mostly Filipino ladies and gents dancing to Mexican music, some cha-​cha, a couple of country songs, and then there’s even some late 70s disco tunes that they all dance to. I didn’t know any of the steps coming in but they will teach you the basic moves and then all you do is repeat them throughout the song.
It’s actually pretty fun and it gets my Mom some much needed exercise and socialization, so I will continue to take her here as long as she wants to keep going.
