Seniors can join the Senior Club membership, which includes access to the gym (certification required), swimming pool, field trips, special events, and daily activities such as library time, games, Bingo, guest speakers, arts and crafts, and more.

The Fred Archer Center has a rich history, with the area surrounding it first settled by African American homesteaders in the 1930s and 1940s. The center was completed in 1978 and renamed in 1988 after its first director, Fred Archer, who was actively involved in the Tucson community until his passing in 1988. The center aims to provide social and recreational experiences to the public, primarily residents of the general area.
Reviews
"Lovely buildings, friendly staff, offers so many services for all ages. Very impressed. Looking forward to being active now that I'm a member."
"Great people on staff , very helpful to everyone. They have senior aerobics Monday Wednesday and Friday , sewing room with large tables, and Bingo on Fridays. They have lunches for seniors and a pool next door. Keeps me out of trouble"
"They need a computer lab for children who can't afford Internet for school. Paying the day fee x3 and we are already low income is hard. Thank goodness my local rec center doesn't charge wish they all had some program to help with that. Nice facility but we can't afford to use it."
"Pool needs to be cleaned. Thats the foulest public pool ive ever seen"
"This is a great recreation place. My daughter stays here after school and they always have fun activities for the kids. From playing basketball, arts and crafts, group games and much more. They also get lunch snack on Wednesdays. The staff is very nice and friendly and professional. The facility is clean and very safe."
