GARTH TRAILS – THE VILLAGE
Garth Trails is an adult living community that includes three registered condominium corporations: W.C.C. 375, 408, and 439. The complex is comprised of 444 homes - single, bungalow and bungaloft residences. It is located at Garth Street and Twenty Road in Hamilton.
O
ur homes surround a beautiful Clubhouse that is the focal point of the Community. It consists of a multi-purpose room, library, billiards room, pool, sauna, exercise room, and an arts & crafts room. Although each of the Corporations operate separately, they communicate regularly and co-ordinate contract negotiations to ensure best service for minimum expense. As a result, the corporations have some of the lowest maintenance fees in the area. The Clubhouse itself is operated by a Shared Facility Committee that consists of two members of each corporation and is supported by maintenance fees of all the residences. What really makes this complex desirable is the wide variety of activities offering something for everyone. An extremely active Social Committee organizes monthly dances, evenings of entertainment, pot luck dinners with bingo, a pancake breakfast,
Happy Hours, a cross-country road tour, and a Luau Dinner Dance. December is a great time at Garth Trails. Activities include a Grandchildren Christmas Party, a Wine & Cheese Tree-Trimming Party, and a New Year’s Eve Dinner Dance. Other activity groups organize line dancing, a wide variety of card activities, darts, a book club, and exercise programs both in the multi-purpose room and the pool. Residents entertain us through our choir, “The Garth Trails Singers”, and Trail Mix, our resident band. And these are just the indoor activities. Outside the Clubhouse are two bocce courts with a mixed bocce league of 48 teams, plus separate women’s and men’s leagues. Tennis, pickle ball, and shuffleboard courts broaden the variety of sports activities available. Plus, as a bonus, Garth Trails has its own pond with a walking trail around it.
