Have you heard about RLC’s newest community? Trailwinds, the latest gem in Florida communities, is preparing for its grand opening and eagerly awaits new residents to fill its rooms. While we’re rapidly preparing the food and events for our future community, we’re also dusting off the paddles and pickleballs because the rumors are true: Trailwinds has a pickleball court.
That’s right! The sport that’s swept America will have a prominent place in our community. We always love providing our residents with the best in luxury, fitness, and entertainment, and pickleball offers the best of all three in one fun game that just about anyone can play.
Benefits of pickleball include:
- Heart health – pickleball is excellent for cardiovascular exercise and endurance. It’s also a safer exercise than others, allowing you to work at your pace and level of effort.
- Fitness and calorie burning – this activity really burns energy! You’ll feel it the next day and keep your body working well if you play regularly.
- Good for mental health and wellbeing – it’s fun, and exercise has been shown to boost mental health and general life outlook, both very important for residents in our communities.
- Helpful for joints and muscle stretching – as we age, our joints are less pliable than they used to be. Pickleball is a safe and convenient way to increase joint mobility and help prevent the body from getting stuck in a couch routine.
- Helps improve coordination – you have to bring your A-game to pickleball, and improving coordination is a valuable goal for seniors looking to stay sharp and make the most of longevity.
- Good social activity that keeps residents engaged and making friends – your social calendar will fill up quickly from all the new people you meet and the friendships you form.
The best part? At Trailwinds, pickleball is free to play. You just need someone to play with (no problem in our communities!), and you can get to serving and scoring. You can create leaderboards and up the competition with others; track, improve, and break records and scores; increase your best time, score higher than ever before, and definitely earn some bragging points when friends come to visit.
Pickleball is a natural fit in Trailwinds. At RLC, we love the chance to bring quality, popular experiences right to your door. Pickleball is so popular for a reason: it’s fun, and it works. Living your best life and retiring well means having all the luxuries and pastimes of modern life in a convenient, simple package.
As we’ve always said, it’s more fun at RLC communities.
Whether you're a seasoned player or picking up a paddle for the first time, Trailwinds offers opportunities to stay active, meet new friends, and enjoy retirement to the fullest. Explore how resort-style amenities can help you live your best life every day.
