Bring your own boat and launch it at RiverBend’ s own dock and boat launch area.
If cars and boats are not your style, how about a multi‐thousand-foot G-scale model train village with over 100 buildings, multiple tracks, and trains running throughout every Saturday morning?
Perhaps you play pickleball for several hours each day, but need to relax in the geothermal heated Olympic-sized swimming pool or spa. Or perhaps you need to work out in the exercise room. All are available at RiverBend!
If you enjoy quilting, knitting, weaving, beading, watercolor painting, or a variety of other creative and artistic pursuits, there’ s a building available just for that with lots of mentors to provide inspiration and guidance.
A full-sized putting green, petanque( I can’ t say that word either), bocce ball courts, shuffleboard, an active Corn Hole group … all available at RiverBend. Card room or game room poolside? You bet.
How about after a busy day of golf or pickleball you relax at the full-service bar, with regular entertainment? Make mine a margarita, please.
But enough already with all the amenities at RiverBend. How’ s the pickleball? Excellent. Need lessons or want to tune your game with an electric pickleball machine? No problem. New to the sport and feel intimidated? Not to worry, there are beginner classes every Tuesday. Want to buy some very stylish pickleball apparel? It’ s got that, too, at very reasonable prices. Of course, several players sell paddles as well.
We all know that pickleball is a very social sport. This is especially true at RiverBend, where the players meet for social gatherings or Hot Dog, Beer and Night Play periodically. If you love pickleball, you’ ll love RiverBend! •
