The Activities Building is the center of the Village’s social, cultural, and recreational life. Sarah Cooke Hall, its 200-seat auditorium, hosts concerts, films, plays, and musicals by visiting companies and by the Village’s own theater, music, and dance groups, along with large meetings, lectures, dinners, and dances. It is also the gymnasium: volleyball, badminton, and winter pickleball are played there, and the Board of Trustees meets there.

The Fitness Center is at the end of the building beside Pool 1. Fitness classes, Tap, Silver Fit, and line dancing use the Multi-Purpose Room inside it. Room D seats lectures and meetings and, with its grand piano, gatherings after events in the hall.

The Heritage Gallery runs the length of the building and shows residents’ art through the year, from photographs and watercolors to oils and acrylics; clubs and groups apply to hang their work. The Computer Club Room is the club’s home, where non-members can book tech support. The activities desk is here too, for events and trips.
