Casual Explorer· 3 years agoTypical Recreation facility at The Villages with one great exception; A Zero Entry Pool, which is great for the smaller kids. Outdoor nature trail also available. The recreation center is spotless, including the restrooms. The billiards room is very nice.
maureen kelly· 7 months agoPool felt great, even right before Thanksgiving
Alicia B· 8 months agoCardio drumming Saturdays at 11 am. Janet is the best. Her class is fun, upbeat, and she plays Christian music to bless our temple with!
NL· 6 years agoBeautiful Rec center, also has a Citizens First Bank ATM near the entrance.
Melanie Turner· 2 years agoNice rec center but needs to add either table shuffleboard or ping pong. Riverbend area is a hidden gem. Peaceful and so close to the upcoming Eastport.
