Sun City Center

Sharon

My husband and I live in Sun City Center, a community for those aged 55 and over. They have courts for pickleball, tennis, bocce, horseshoes, and softball. They've got a pretty active softball team, and the pickleballers are getting pretty aggressive, too. They're starting to compete nationally. They also have the dog park and the community center, where they have bingo on Monday nights. They have health fairs and things like that in the community center, too. They even have their own travel club here. They're very clean because they have people who constantly clean. They have swimming pools and spas. They have a theater here and a miniature railroad. They also have stained glass classes, art classes, and pottery classes. They have hiking trails and garden areas where you can garden. They have a lot going on, and they're building more. They really try to meet the needs of the members. They have so much to do here that if you can't find something to do, that's your problem. They have libraries, swimming classes, dancing classes, tap classes, and exercise classes. They also have a fitness center. Most of the staff members are volunteers, and they're very friendly and very open about what we have here. We have the only free ambulance service in the nation that's staffed by volunteers, and that's a big plus. I've had to use them when my husband has fallen here at home, and I can't get him up. They came out and transported him to the hospital for free. If they're available, they'll take you back, too. It really is very well run. They have CPR classes, and they have their own security patrol system, and we were part of that.
