The building is now being used as a monoclonal antibody facility, but an effort to reopen it is in full swing
It’s a late Wednesday morning in the park surrounding the North Clairemont Recreation Center. A toddler runs around the playground with her dad, a group of teens share snacks while playing board games on a cluster of picnic tables and a young man practices his skateboarding skills on the green pavement of a tennis court.
Clairemont resident Nancy Hartley had used the center since she retired in 2011, including for line dancing classes that fellow students would sometimes bring their grandkids to. Although the dance group has recently started practicing at the North Clairemont Recreation Center tennis court next door, it doesn’t have the same sense of community as the senior center did.
“It hadn’t been maintained on the inside for a long time, there were lots of problems — electrical, maintenance, all kinds of problems,” Hartley said. “The neighborhood itself is an older community, a large population of individuals who are living there are retirees,” Cate said.“Every senior really deserves to have someone they can turn to and trust, and we really believe that senior centers are part of that, not the entirety, but a big part of that,” said Rich Israel, chief executive officer of the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation.
Soon, she became a regular student at the class, and would hang out after it to do puzzles, which allowed her to make new friends with a close-knit community nearby.
