The Villages, Florida Recreation Centers

By
Real Estate Agent with TOUCHSTONE REAL ESTATE

One of the many advantages of Living in The Villages, Florida is the Recreation Centers.  Currently numbering 48 with more under construction these are the hubs for most neighborhoods.  Many offer Billiards, Ping Pong and rooms for card games and meeting rooms for the many social clubs here in The Villages.  That is just inside the centers, outside you will find swimming pools, 93 of them in The Villages, Pickleball and Tennis Courts, Volleyball Courts, Bocce Ball, Shuffleboard, Horseshoe Pits, Walking and Exercise Trails and Dog Parks close by.

Recreation Centers each have a theme, example Sea Breeze is just that a beachy feel when you walk in.  The Eisenhower pays tribute to our military, First Responders to of course First responders, Colony has plenty of class, a new opening is Lake Okahumpka which is inspired by the steamboats that were used to travel from Ocklawaha to Lake Okahumpka. 

Have a day and looking for something to do, actually more like a week?  A visit to each recreation center and tour the cultural themes as many are mini museums is a great way to spend free time if you have any living here!

Good morning Dick. The biggest problem at The Villages is not finding something to do but choosing what of the many choices you want to do. Enjoy your day.

There is so much to learn Kat Palmiotti  and of course my marketing plan is to educate folks about options and life is all about options!  Hope it doesn't get boring, tell you what I will write more blogs making fun of myself, I got plenty of material!

I would imagine the only issue with the activities is deciding which to do. That's a lot of stuff

Very true Ed Silva, yesterday afternoon went to see 80 for Brady, walked out of the theatre and across the street to Lake Sumter Square and listened to a live rock band with a great female lead singer then off to a country club for dinner.  Life in The Villages!

I like how you say that you can tour each recreation center IF you have time - lol this is one place where being retired you may actually be busier than when you were working!
