About Us

about the kyle area senior zone

The Kyle Area Senior Zone, Inc. (KASZ) was formed in February 2006 to afford a variety of social, educational, health and recreational activities to the senior residents of Kyle and Surrounding Areas. Our Founder and 1st President was Adell Hurst. Adell Hurst was a Kyle community activist and senior citizen advocate. Her memory is honored and recognized by the main ballroom of the Krug Activity Center named after her.

KASZ has become an integral part of the Kyle Area community and Hays County, a place where KASZ members can meet on a regular basis to form relationships with other seniors, enjoy meals together, learn new skills, take trips together and participate in volunteer and job opportunities. These activities promote the positive aspects of aging for seniors, their families, and the community.

The City of Kyle dedicated the Krug Activity Center to KASZ as a place to call home. The Krug Activity Center also serves as a community center to provide space for city activities and private rentals. For more information on rental, contact City of Kyle Parks and Recreation at (512) 262-3939
