THE RIVER HOUSE AMENITY CENTER

The River House Amenity Center is the original activity center, around which most of the RiverTown activities revolved before the River Club was added. In addition to the original Pools, Clubhouse, Fitness Center and Yoga/Dance Studio, all housed in the central structures, Tennis Courts, Basketball Courts, a Soccer Field, and Tot Lot are close by.

THE RIVERHOUSE CLUBHOUSE

THE RIVER HOUSE CLUB HOUSE

With its dramatic high beamed ceiling, the clubhouse is the perfect place to host a party or even a wedding reception and can be rented for a minimal fee.  The space can be arranged for dining, relaxing, and even dancing and the catering kitchen makes it easy to serve your guests. A private dining or conference room accommodates smaller groups, and the doors open to an outdoor dining area with a separate food prep area and a large fireplace/grill, expanding the space for larger parties.

THE SWIMMING POOLS

Enjoy swimming laps or swimming with the kids all year round (depending on how brave you are), at the two RiverHouse pools. Residents use the Olympic-size pool for swim meets, swimming lessons and lap swimming. The zero-entry resort-style pool is perfect for kids of all ages to cool off and relax. Highlighted by the signature corkscrew slide, the pool is the central place for family fun.

THE DANCE STUDIO

THE YOGA/DANCE STUDIO

In addition to ballet and jazz for the kids and ballroom dancing for the adults, the dance studio is also the venue for a variety of classes ranging from relaxing yoga to energy-zapping Zumba for adults.

My personal favorite is the Ballroom Dancing Group, dubbed “The RiverTown Dancers” who meet on Thursday evenings at 7:00. A variety of dances are taught by celebrated dancer and emcee, Tony Paolucci. Friendships have formed and several of the gals meet on weekends to attend dance parties at different locations around Jacksonville.

THE FITNESS CENTER

THE FITNESS CENTER

Enjoy staying (or getting) in shape in the state-of-the art fitness center where you will find a variety of toning, stretching, endurance-training and strength-training equipment.  I love fitting in my daily aerobic exercise on the spin cycles and treadmills while I catch up on my favorite morning show on the built-in TV’s. Free weights and weight machines are also available.
