Stay social while you enjoy the outdoors

Not only can outdoor activities provide mental stimulation and promote physical fitness, but they are also significant social opportunities—perfect for reconnecting with old friends or making new ones. Some fantastic options for bringing your social life outdoors include visiting the North Carolina Museum of Art and strolling through the sculpture garden, exploring the fresh produce and artisanal offerings at your local farmers market, and taking your furry friend to one of the many dog parks.

Find a low-impact sport you love playing

A structured activity, such as many popular sports for seniors, can enhance your enjoyment of the outdoors. While golf is especially popular (with plenty of desirable housing communities built alongside golf courses for exclusive resident access), don’t overlook other options. The Triangle is full of opportunities to challenge yourself, including tennis, classes at aquatic centers, kayaking, and the therapeutic world of horseback riding.

The state encompasses everything from the sparkling ocean to the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. And the Triangle’s central location makes it easy to access everything. Visit one of the many state and local parks in the Triangle (or beyond!), ride a bicycle along the greenway trails, or enjoy a more curated view of nature at one of the many lovely botanic gardens.
