From an Aug. 28, 2026 City of Piedmont press release:
We’re seeking local organizations that offer recreational, educational, or social programs and activities for adults to showcase their offerings at Piedmont’s third annual Adult Recreation Expo.

Expo responds to need identified through community survey
Now in its third year, the Adult Recreation Expo grew from the work of a Recreation Commission subcommittee on older adult programming. After reviewing existing activities throughout Piedmont, as well as nearly 500 responses to a community survey, the subcommittee identified lack of knowledge about existing opportunities as a primary barrier to connecting adults with the activities they were interested in. The Expo aims to bridge this gap – and has attracted 200+ attendees each year.
The Adult Recreation Expo is organized by volunteers Dick Carter, former Recreation Commission Chair and 2026 Betty C. Howard Recreation Service Awardee and Lisa Gardner, who currently chairs Piedmont’s Recreation Commission, with support from the City of Piedmont.
