Drop a Line in Grand Lake

Our 88-acre Grand Lake is more than just a place to meditate by. It’s a place to meditate by while watching your kids hook a big fish. Fishing is catch-and-release, so there will always be a chance to nab one.

Kayak on Deer Lake

Take the kids out for their first paddle on our gorgeous Deer Lake. While they get the swing of things, you can search for wildlife on the shore.

Hike The Granduer

What most communities call trails we call sidewalks. Grand Central Parks boasts miles of real hiking trails, so pack up sack lunches, water and a camera and start exploring.

Bike to 336 Marketplace

Hope on your bikes and head out for a little urban adventuring. Stop at Starbuck’s for frappuccinos, pick up hiking gear at DICK’S Sporting Goods and finish up with lunch at Torchy’s Tacos.

Play at Twilight Park

The family that plays together stays fit together — especially when they play at Twilight Park. We’ve got play equipment for the kids and a workout zone for parents. All of it set amongst shady trees to keep you cool while you work up a sweat.

Make a Splash

The Lake House pool is open, and residents have all summer to make a splash. The more than 5,000-square-foot resort-style pool offers Adirondack chairs for lounging, hammocks for snoozing, lap lanes, water aerobics and more.

Everyone needs fresh air and sunshine, so pack a picnic lunch and spread your blankets by the babbling brook in Trillium Park.
