Tamarac 55+ Communities

The Tamarac sports complex and community center provide the perfect venues for residents to come together. The city hosts a wide range of special events including free concerts, movie nights, holiday celebrations, festivals, exercise classes, and sporting events. There is even a dog park for large breeds so our furry friends can play too. Residents can sign up for aquatics classes, sports leagues, and community trips to live theater performances and dinner cruises. The sports complex features basketball, tennis, pickleball, lacrosse, baseball, soccer, and football. For those that prefer golfing, Tamarac is home to the semi-private Woodmont Country Club with two 18-hole golf courses, and the Colony West Golf Club with spectacular views and top-notch dining.

Tamarac boasts endless dining options with over sixty local family-run restaurants featuring diverse cuisine from all over the globe. Residents don’t need to travel to experience authentic dishes from far away lands with a plethora of flavors right in their backyard. Just a few of many choices include El Buen Gusto, La Antioquena, Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant, Pollo El Cojido Dominican Restaurant, Milano Italian Grill, Pho Hoa Noodle Soup, Canton Restaurant, Hong Kong City BBQ, and Thai Curry. Restaurants serving up classic American fare are also readily available with Kate’s Restaurant and Orange Tree Breakfast & Lunch being just a few of the favorites among locals.

Ethnic cuisine is just one of the many ways that Tamarac celebrates its rich cultural diversity. The city affords a strong sense of community that celebrates diversity with a number of events hosted throughout the year to bring residents together. Hispanic Heritage Month features fitness classes with a Latin flair, music, games, and traditional cuisine. Juneteenth is celebrated with a Freedom Festival featuring cultural arts, live music, food vendors, and a storytime extravaganza. Caribbean Heritage Month is kicked off each year with food, games, and steel drum performances. The community gathers for Fourth of July fireworks, Thanksgiving marathons, and Memorial Day parades. Commissioner Elvin Villalobos sums up the city’s vision nicely, “A high quality of life in an inclusive community is the Tamarac way.”
