Aside from the playground, picnic areas and the walking trails around the lake, there is also a barn that is available for hosting private events. There are both paved and natural walking trails.

Facilities include a full gym, pool, tennis courts, bacchi ball lanes, extensive walking trails, paddle tennis/pickle ball courts, horseshoe pits and even a ball field. Also a boat house and canoe & kayak club on the Catawba River. Just about everyone has a golf cart and you can get just about anywhere using them. Friendly is the theme. People wave at each other and are anxious to meet and introduce themselves whenever you meet. Monday nights are presentations as part of the life-long learning group. We have had podiatrists, bush pilots, authors, historians, financial planners and others give one-hour talks that are really interesting and kept within that one-hour limit. Lots of dances, plays, comedians and even an opera took place since we have been here. Biggest threat is to get too involved in too many activities. Not a bad threat. Well. getting ready to meet with the Old Stogies group tonight whose charter is to smoke cigars and solve the world's problems. Someone has to do it.

We have been living here for 6 years and have enjoyed every minute. Our priorities for a…read moreretirement community were that it be inland, near a major airport, close to a large city, and offer plenty of amenities. SCCL offers that and much more. There is a club, event or activity for almost anyone. For the less active person it is a very well kept aesthetically appealing neighborhood, close to shopping and many restaurants. After 13 years ( I think building began in 2006) major updating and renovating will soon begin on our Lakehouse. It will be a major disruption in our primary amenity center and , understandably, has caused some grumbling and disagreement throughout the community. My feeling is that if we are to retain our position as the premier 55+ community of the Carolinas, we need to accept the inconvenience and enjoy the outcome! No community is perfect, but if you're looking for a fun- filled active retirement with friendly neighbors and a lovely environment- you should check out Sun City Carolina Lakes!

This park is nothing like the Hermitage, which is the most substantial Andrew Jackson site, though…read moreit does share some artifacts. This more modest state park offers a historic schoolhouse and some other exhibits, as well as some nature trails. It purports to tell the story of a rural community where this future president was raised in a time of war. There was some intrigue here, and for a $3 entrance fee, it was not a bad stop. Some historical interpretation was available. There were also some significant picnic sites and an amphitheater that was hosting some sort of event.

For a few dollars a person, this is a good day use park. There is a picnic area near the parking…read morelot. The amphitheatre is nearby also. Then it is just a short walk to the museum and a few monuments. I'm not sure if there is really any connection to Jackson himself aside from the name and monuments. But there are some artifacts which date from around his time. The history here, indeed the whole area, is a history lacking from the west coast. So, whether related to the 7th president or just his era, it is cool for a life long west coaster to visit and learn. Other highlights of this state park which I did not have an opportunity to check out are camp sites, a lake with canoe rentals and a 1 mile nature trail. Practically something for everyone.

The nibblings love the play areas. There's a good amount of parking and 2 entrances into the park. We normally enter from the Lakeview drive side. I love how they have areas for smaller kids to play. You don't have to worry so much about bigger kids hurting the smaller kids. The lake is nice but I don't like how there isn't a walkway around the lake. There are rocks dividing the lake from the grass but I would like a more defined area to walk around the lake.

Yoga class itself was not too serious- do what you can, stretch yourself to your own comfort level, and enjoy being in nature with baby goats.

First off, the dog park is amazing. Huge with lots of space, separated areas for small and large dogs, agility play equipment, benches and the like. You must have a city dog license and it seems that access to the park is using an RF tag to open the gate. Nearby, an ADA compliant playground, fitness equipment and a disc golf course. And that's just half the park. On the other side, a regular playground with a splashpag, picnic shelters, a massive baseball/softball complex and walking trails and a mountain bike trail. Huge parking area. Many of the fields are lighted. And there is a public restroom near the playground. Wow! [Review 16906 overall - 3233 in North Carolina - 422 of 2022.]
