SHAMROCK NATURE CENTER, has great children's amenities with its playground and BUTTERFLY GARDEN. It has NATURE TRAILS that connect to the 10 MILES of the LEGACY TRAIL which connects Venice to Sarasota by biking or walking. For enrichment classes and social life, the SENIOR FRIENDSHIP CENTER is equally close. Here you can learn a language, take DANCE classes, have lunch or play billiards to list a few. They even have adult day care available if great grandma needs some fellowship. Of course, DOWN TOWN VENICE is just a bike ride or short drive where there is YOGA on the BEACH, restaurants, shopping, SATURDAY FARMER'S MARKET, or the ART CENTER for CLASSES and EVENTS. There is always an upcoming FESTIVAL, CONCERT or a PARADE of one kind or another in Venice. The VENICE AIRPORT where you can take FLYING LESSONS is adjacent to the PUBLIC GOLF COURSE. Venice has a rich CIRCUS history and has retained the training grounds where you can actually take a TRAPEZ class. Enough about Venice, head just a few miles south and enjoy ENGLEWOOD where the OLD FLORIDA VIBE still reigns, with its own LITTLE TOWN, plenty of WATER CRAFT to rent or SUNSET CRUISES to book. After you have exhausted yourself with a full day, come home and don’t worry about the yard work. The ARTFUL LANDSCAPING, is watered by a RAINBIRD SPRINKLER SYSTEM and leaves very little lawn to maintain. A BARGAIN buy, a great place to PLAY, REST and REFRESH. A convenient location to access so many South Florida ADVENTURES.
