As a non-resident of Lantana, this is a review of the pavilion and "general area," not the facilities inside the building (i.e. gym) or the pool.
I checked out the "North Pavilion" when searching for a venue for a charity event. Only residents can rent the pavilion (via lantanalive.com -- facility rentals), but we know folks who are residents. It's very reasonably priced and alcohol is allowed - which can be key for donations at charity events - so I was very interested.
Initial impression when walking up: nice pavilion overlooking a large, nice pond. The pavilion is right next to a playground and a pool, so you could have neighboring activity depending on when you used it. But I thought the whole set-up was really nice, especially for the price and allowing the use of alcohol. On the alcohol note, if you trash the facility, they'll charge you for it - but that should go without saying. Many picnic tables are present, which is nice. This place could easily accommodate 100 people. I want to say the website says it can hold 200 people, but I find that hard to imagine. Also, the parking lot isn't massive... so a large event could lead to cumbersome parking. I imagine this pavilion would be great for birthday parties and family get-togethers, but a larger scale event... would require more planning.
Scoping out the pool, I noted there was no diving board. Other than that, it looked nice enough, and a covered kiddie pool was adjacent. Nice area. Pool's not that big, though, FYI.
See pictures for more details on the area. Being a non-resident, I didn't get any pictures of inside the building (like the gym). read more
