55+ June 2026 Activities Calendar in Springfield, NJ

Springfield's Recreation Department keeps a full schedule going for residents 55 and older, and June 2026 is no exception. The month includes fitness classes, games, a bus trip, an art session, and the Springfield Senior Citizens Club meeting — most of it free.

Union County Life has the full rundown on what's available this month at the Chisholm Community Center and beyond.

Games, Fitness, and Drop-In Options

Residents can drop in for bingo, poker, dominos, Rummikub, and puzzles, or use the computer lab during open hours. The fitness room is available on weekdays from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. All three options are free with a free annual registration.

Exercise Classes This Month

Exercise classes run throughout June. "Shape Up with Liz," "Forever Fit with Betsy," and "Kickboxing with Andrew" are all on the schedule, along with an "Exercise, Movies, and Music" session offered in partnership with the Union Township Health Department. Free annual registration is required for all classes.

Indoor open-play pickleball is also available at no cost this month, with the same free annual registration required.

Trips, Club Meetings, and Special Programs

A bus trip to Turtle Back Zoo and McLoone's in West Orange is on the calendar this month — RSVP is required. Art with Andrea is another RSVP activity available in June.

The Springfield Senior Citizens Club holds its June meeting this month. Note that the RSVP and $5 payment deadline of June 11 has passed — contact Ilene Wilkenfeld to confirm whether late registration is still available.

On June 15, residents had the opportunity to donate blood at the Chisholm Community Center from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. That date has passed, but residents interested in future blood drives can contact the New York Blood Center at (732) 672-5281.
