The library is open 24/7 to residents. It includes fiction and non-fiction sections. There is also a children’s section. Residents can check out books or sit in the comfortable chairs and read. A computer is available, as well as Internet access. New books are being added all the time, so stop by and see for yourself. The library is located in the East Building, just off the lobby.
Our outdoor heated summer pool is in repair mode and not available for use.
There are two adjoining tennis courts. They are on the tree-lined area behind the East Building parking lot, next to the children’s playground. They are surrounded by high chain link fences to trap errant tennis balls. It is a casual environment. Reservations are not needed and players are not required to wear “tennis whites.” Players need to provide their own tennis balls and rackets.
