Outdoor Activities
Whether you walk, bike, drive, or take the tram, come where the out-
door action begins at Freedom Plaza.
Do you want to play, or have you wanted to play, golf? Turn in at the
Freedom Fairways (Figure 13 page 37) sign. The Golf Shop with outdoor
tables and chairs is on the left, and on the right a building housing the
landscaping and golf course maintenance function, rental golf carts, and
member’s golf club storage. There is also a cage for hitting golf balls and
a practice putting green where you can enjoy sharpening your short
game skills.
The building housing the Golf Shop also houses the Plaza Club where
many social activities are scheduled for residents and outside groups.
The Plaza Club may be reserved by calling Dining Services (642-1267).
Moving north on American Eagle Boulevard, you will see hole #18 of the
golf course on the left and on the right, a glimpse of the Golfview Terrace
buildings. Taking the first street to the right, Freedom Plaza Circle, vari-
ous sports facilities will appear: a basketball hoop, two horseshoe courts,
two covered shuffleboard courts with benches, a bocce court, two pickle-
ball courts, and two tennis courts.
The shuffleboard courts have equipment that is stored in a small, un-
locked shed available to all. The bocce ball equipment is kept in a black,
unlocked box adjacent to the court. The pickleball equipment is kept in
an unlocked chest inside the fence between courts 1 and 2. There are
two basketballs that are stored in the GVT fitness center. The tennis
courts are locked and the key is available to all residents by calling the
Director of Golf and Tennis (634-7966) or the Front Desk.
These facilities are available to all residents and their guests free of
charge.
