• Pickleball Courts & Active Recreation: Palm Grove’s amenity campus includes multiple pickleball courts for this fast-growing, social sport – a hit with both adults and kids.

Additionally, preserved natural areas and pond overlooks offer quiet spots to appreciate nature or have a picnic.
• Walking Trails & Natural Surroundings: The community plan integrates walking and biking trails that connect neighborhoods to the amenity center and loop around scenic areas.

Living here means morning jogs or evening strolls with birdsong and the backdrop of Florida’s natural beauty.
• Lifestyle Director & Community Events: Palm Grove will have an on-site Lifestyle Director tasked with creating a robust social calendar.
