Whether you’re looking for something you already like to do, or if you’re looking to explore something new, you can find it in the daily activities section of the app.
Fitness opportunities
The Village App also contains a section exclusively for fitness opportunities – which is convenient whether you’d like to avoid or dive into this section. Within the fitness section of the app, you’ll find descriptions of each fitness class offered at The Village – like pickleball, bocce ball, tai chi and Pilates – as well as the location and timing. For those who prefer exercising in nature, the fitness section also contains walking maps, which displays several walking routes and their specific distances around our 104-acre campus.
Community services
If you’re looking for more information on transportation or health services available, the app can also help with that.
The transportation section shows you The Village’s transportation schedules, and it provides rates for the local shuttle services. It also allows you to request transportation without leaving the app.
