Sun City Texas - Activities

Activities

The community is generally oriented toward recent retirees. However, demographically, Sun City typically is not the last home where someone will live after retirement, but rather it is the first home of retirement for "active adults" who actively play tennis, golf, dance, do yoga or participate in numerous activities and clubs. These stll-active retirees typically between the age of 55 and 65 are known a "Zoomers" as they are the active segment of the Baby Boom generation.

Thanks to a change in state law initiated by the developer, it is legal to drive licensed "golf cars" on the streets in the development and the shopping areas and all activity centers throughout Sun City have special parking spaces for same. Schedules of activities and events are be found on the Sun City resident website HERE

There are three golf courses, a large central activity center (with a ballroom, meeting rooms, a library and business center), hobby facilities (including woodworking, computer lab, ceremics studio, dancing, and others), numerous pools, a lake for fishing, and many other recreational facilities. Two "satellite" activity centers are located across the development, each with a pool, aerobic and dance studios and many other facilities. There are clubs for almost any interest such as and an active nature club that takes advantage of the 14 miles of nature walks and special ecological features of the site.

The community's close proximity to Southwestern University provides access to a variety of additional cultural activities. And, of course, the thriving city of Austin is nearby providing a rich variety of urban activities, and the surrounding Hill Country region provides many opportunities for outdoor activities.
