DK1981· 6 months agoCame to check out the cardio drumming Sunday morning group. 15 minutes before it even starts the room is filled to capacity: 120 participants! This is another beautiful rec center with craft/ art classroom, meeting rooms and a fitness center. Amazon is sending me a ball and drumsticks. I'll be back next week early enough to get a spot.
L Morey· 7 months agoWent for Celebration of life. It certainly is a room. Sadly, it was in the Villages. Which suck. I meant the Villages are .... you know if you've ever been there. It is a sanitized, sterilized version of what old people want from Florida. It is a unique place that's for sure.
D. Z.· 3 years agoTrain club of the villages have their displays through Sunday, 9 am to 4 pm. All gauges of trains from G, Z, O and more are on display - very impressive! Colony Rec Center at the Villages ( free )
