Ethel MacLeod Hart Multipurpose Senior Center
912 27th Street, (916) 264-5462

Program information for Older Adults Services offered at this site

E. M. Hart Sr. CenterLocated in Marshall Park in midtown Sacramento, on 27th Street between I and J Streets, the facility is accessible to Business 80 and many Sacramento Regional Transit bus routes.

The Hart Senior Center is openly nestled among trees in the surrounding park area, and the meeting rooms are named after these beautiful trees. This unique building-in-the-round first opened its doors in 1961 as the Sacramento Senior Center; was renovated in 1991 and doubled in size. In 1994, the Center was renamed to honor Ethel MacLeod Hart and her generous bequest to the City’s Older Adult Services.

All rooms are available for rental for meetings or special events Tuesday through Friday during evening hours or on the weekends. A full catering kitchen is also available and all rooms have heating/air conditioning. On-street parking available only. A small driveway near entrance permits easy access for drop-off of customers with disabilities.
