Top Summer Activities for Active Adults in Texas
Choosing an Active Lifestyle Community Can Keep You Young
The warmer weather presents a great time for all adults to get active and spend time outdoors in the sunshine. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to live in one of the more southern states, like us here in Pearland, TX, you can enjoy the great outdoors nearly year-round.
Taking part in leisure activities both outdoors and indoors can be a great way for active adults to stay healthy and mentally sharp. Besides the health benefits of staying active, you will find that you are getting more enjoyment and fun out of life doing things you find pleasurable.
Simply walking, jogging, or swimming can have immeasurable benefits. Living in an area that is safe and secure allows you to be more active without worry.
Active Adult Communities in Texas
Moving into a community that is geared to active adult seniors is a great way to find activities suited to just about anyone. Active senior communities offer the chance to meet and make friends with other people in your age group with whom you share common interests.
We think you’ll find that Texas is a state that has a vibrant senior living scene. There are many active adult communities to choose from in our great state, but here at Larkspur at Shadow Creek, we strive to stand out from the crowd in every way.
In the planned community of Shadow Creek Ranch just outside of Pearland, Larkspur apartments offer the security and sanctuary of a planned community with access to many recreational and leisure activities.
There are plenty of things to do here in Pearland, ranging from events such as the Crawfish Festival, to fun and interesting spots to visit, such as the John Hargrove Environmental Complex. Plus, Larkspur at Shadow Creek is just a 15-minute ride to Houston, affording you with all the activities that a major city can offer, including professional sporting events, major concerts, and cultural events.
Larkspur at Shadow Creek Offers Resort-Style Amenities in Texas
Within Larkspur, you will find a plethora of activities to keep you busy and happy. Larkspur at Shadow Creek has one- and two-bedroom apartments and private cottages, all of which come with balconies or patios. The community is on 12 acres with an array of amenities to serve its residents. Larkspur is full of tailored activities and resort-style amenities that even include concierge services at very affordable leasing prices.
The list of outdoor spaces and amenities we have to offer is extensive, with things to do that are suited to senior adults of all activity levels. For the more active adults, there are the Mill Pickle Ball Courts, or the walking, jogging, and bike trails next to the community. There is also a resort-sized swimming pool with a lap lane if you’re more into water activities.
Looking to enjoy slightly less strenuous activities? Visit Golden Gate Park on the grounds, which offers a regulation Bocce ball court, or do some raised bed gardening at Maxwell’s Garden. There’s also a dog park to let your pet run and play to their hearts’ content, and an outdoor patio and grill area for those that want to cook out.
For those days when the weather is less than favorable, or if you want to beat the summer heat indoors, Larkspur at Shadow Creek has you covered there too. The Cove Movie Theater offers an area of comfortable seating to sit and watch your favorite movies.
Into yoga or meditation? The Eucalyptus Room is a space dedicated to your relaxation. To get yourself moving indoors, the Tiburon Beach Club and Fitness Center has all the latest fitness equipment in an atmosphere that is conducive to exercise and staying in shape.
If you want to scratch that creative itch, Larpsur’s Tamalpais Art Studio provides the staff and equipment to assist you in pursuing your artistic endeavors.
The Four Corners Pub on the grounds provides a comfortable area to enjoy one of your favorite beverages in a relaxed comfortable atmosphere or have a bite to eat at the Golden Gate Bistro also on the grounds.
There are countless other activities that are just a short drive from our active adult community – places where you can go fishing for many freshwater fish, golf at one of over 40 courses, and more. Plus, the Gulf of Mexico is only about an hour’s drive from us, which opens the door to all sorts of beach activities.
