AARP Eye Center
Communities across Delaware are working each and every day to become more livable for residents of all ages.
To support that work, AARP provides funding to organizations through the AARP Community Challenge to help them jumpstart progress on ongoing work. In 2018, the Claymont Community Center in North Wilmington was a recipient. The Center applied for funding to construct a walking path behind its facility so that the community can access a large park. A steep incline prevented residents from enjoying the many fitness opportunities the park could provide. The new path creates an entry to the open area that is accessible to all. In November, they hosted a grand opening for a this new path.
