North Broward is well situated for shopaholics & necessity shoppers alike.

Coral Springs is well-situated for shopaholics and necessity shoppers alike. Coral Square Mall—part of the national Simon properties— features five department store anchors and 120 specialty merchants. Children love to come here for the indoor carousel, kiddie train and saltwater aquarium display. The Sawgrass Mills Outlet Mall - the second most visited Florida attraction—is also just a short drive on the Sawgrass Expressway. That location offers bargain hunters nearly two square miles of stores to explore. If mall shopping is not your idea of fun, Coral Springs has large stand-alone department stores throughout the city. These include Best Buy, Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, Bed Bath and Beyond, Buy Buy Baby, TJ Maxx and more. Promenade at Coconut Creek is North Broward County’s premier open-air shopping and dining experience, featuring over 45 stores, boutiques, and restaurants and Silverspot Cinema - a state-of-the-art, 11 screen luxury theatre! Whether you’re looking for the comfort of a familiar store chain or the laid-back atmosphere of a neighborhood hangout, it’s right here in Coral Springs.

seniors IN cREEK

The City of Coconut Creek, through our Parks & Rec Department in the South Community Center, offers seniors a variety of fun and educational activities such as fitness, games, discussion groups, potlucks, movies, guest lecturers, book clubs, and parties. Senior Center members enjoy field trips to plays, zoos, and museums at a nominal fee that includes comfortable charter bus transportation.

The Senior Center’s inspiring staff strongly encourage seniors to be active. To become a member, you must be at least 50 years old.

Annual membership fees are $20 for residents and $30 for non-residents. The Senior Center was temporarily closed in March due to COVID-19, but we continued to interact with our hundreds of members through phone calls and Zoom programs which included trivia competitions, topic discussions and socializing. Members were alerted of program updates through text messages and emails.

We were excited to re-open our doors on October 12th, managing at least two programs a day; although still offering Zoom options. Lenore Thomas, Superintendent, supervises all activities and programs in the Community Center and Joy Mastrocola, Senior Recreation Programmer, and super popular with the seniors, plans and implements all Senior Center activities, classes, and programs.
