An Arizona summer is filled with hot days, warm nights and plenty of things to do when you live in a Sun Health community, especially on those long summer evenings that stretch on well past dinnertime. Indoor and outdoor activities abound on each of the three Life Plan communities: Grandview Terrace, La Loma Village and The Colonnade. There is no shortage of entertainment and recreational activities available to residents and community members alike to keep you active throughout the summer.
Read on to learn more about the different activities each community provides that leave residents with no shortage of things to do. Each activity is available for every member of Sun Health’s three Life Plan Communities and all members of the Sun Health At Home program.
Grandview Terrace
Grandview Terrace offers the convenience of high-rise living with all the comforts and amenities one could hope to find in a Life Plan Community. With everything under one roof, it’s easy to escape the heat. During the heat of the summer, Grandview Terrace offers a wide array of activities to suit both those who revel in the heat of the Arizona desert and those who prefer to stay in the cool A/C at the height of the hottest months. Some of the many amenities Grandview Terrace provides for residents include:
1.     Indoor walking track
Get those steps in with the Grandview Terrace indoor walking track! Morning or night, hot or cold, you can always grab a friend and walk your way to good health.
2.     Library
When the sun is high in the sky, grab a book and cool off in the library. The collection at Grandview Terrace features classics to newly released favorites, and everything in between.
3.     Water aerobics
If the dry heat of Arizona doesn’t intimidate you, come on outside and take a dip with a water aerobics class. It’s a great way to get active and stay cool at the same time.
La Loma Village
Take it easy and indulge in the freedom to do as much, or as little, as you want at La Loma Village. At the height of summer, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep your mind, body and soul enriched, with the promise of cool early evenings for outdoor pastimes. Set amidst the backdrop of striking desert mountain views, La Loma Village has activities for everyone, including:
1.     La Loma University
Lifelong learners will feel right at home with La Loma University, where local experts and influencers give engaging talks and seminars for members of any of the three Sun Health Communities or Sun Health At Home members. It’s a great way to learn something new and connect with new friends in the process.
2.     Bocce ball and putting green
Don’t let a little heat interfere with your favorite activities! Work on your putting game at the La Loma Village putting green or pick up a new hobby at our professional bocce ball court.
3.     Indoor heated pool and outdoor spa
Love to swim but can’t bear submerging yourself into chilly waters? Indulge in the outdoor spa to bubble your worries away or come inside to do some laps or water aerobics in the indoor heated pool.
The Colonnade
The Colonnade boasts plentiful social opportunities among its Mediterranean-style villas and walking gardens. The Colonnade features Club Solé as the focal point and social hub for the community with activities designed for people with a wide array of interests. Some of these amenities and ways to spend time include:
1.     Botanical garden
Admire the beauty of the Arizona desert with the native flora on display at the botanical garden. Connecting conveniently to the walking paths, you can stroll through your neighborhood and view the local cacti and succulents with a breathtaking backdrop of the desert mountains in the distance.
2.     Indoor fitness center and yoga studio
When the temperatures rise above 100 degrees, it can be tough to gather the motivation to follow your daily exercise routine. Luckily, The Colonnade has both an indoor fitness center and yoga studio, perfect for exercise aficionados of all levels.

Flex your creative muscles with our indoor arts and music studio. Escape the heat outside and enter your own personal artistic paradise with guided classes and open studio time available to all residents.
