intersection of SR 674 and Valley Forge. There are two very extensive
clubhouses in Kings Point. There is a theater in the north clubhouse,
which may be patronized by residents of Freedom Plaza. Kings Point has

several golf courses and many recreational facilities similar to those in
Sun City Center. These are not open to the public.

Going north on Pebble Beach, we come to the north campus where the

offices of the Security Patrol, the CA, and the Library are located. Also at
this location, there are the lawn bowling courts, shuffleboard, the out-
door pool, and the Atrium. The Atrium houses many meeting rooms, the

indoor pool, the exercise room, the Little Theater, and several clubs.
South of these buildings, on Cherry Hills is a building which houses the
craft clubs. This building overlooks Swan Lake on which the Cygnet Yacht
Club holds its radio controlled sailing vessel regattas.

A mile or so further north on Pebble Beach is the only private country
club in SCC, Caloosa Golf & Country Club. Caloosa is a private club with
an excellent 18 hole golf course. Caloosa welcomes new members and
fees are quite reasonable. The course is well maintained all year long

and offers a variety of tees to accommodate all levels of golfers. There
are many groups who play on a regular basis and welcome new club
members. There are men’s and women’s leagues that operate all year

long. Social members are treated to a wide variety of social activities in-
cluding bridge, dances, parties, cruises and local trips. For membership
