LIPP Tips
Senior Activities Wisdom for Pembroke Pines
The monthly calendar at Southwest Focal Point is your best resource — pick one up in person
While some programming is listed on ppines.com, the full monthly calendar at the Southwest Focal Point Community Center includes activities that don't make it online: guest speakers, movie screenings, holiday parties, and pop-up events. Pick up a physical calendar at the front desk. Registration for popular programs (dance classes, computer workshops) fills fast — sign up on the first day of the month. Learn about senior centers →
Broward College offers free tuition for seniors 60+ — yes, really
Florida residents 60+ can audit courses at Broward College (and any Florida public college/university) tuition-free on a space-available basis. The South Campus in Pembroke Pines offers everything from art history and creative writing to computer skills and languages. You won't earn credit, but you get the full classroom experience — with 20-year-olds who will keep you current on what's going on. Find volunteer opportunities →
Snowbird season (November–April) is peak programming — plan your calendar around it
Pembroke Pines senior programming doubles during snowbird season when the seasonal residents return. More classes, more trips, more social events, and more community energy. If you're a year-round resident, this is your window for the richest programming. Summer months (June–September) are quieter with fewer scheduled activities — a good time to try independent fitness routines at LA Fitness or walking at C.B. Smith Park. Join a walking club →
Never a Dull Moment
Pembroke Pines keeps its seniors active, engaged, and connected — from morning chair exercise to evening dinner dances.
