COMMUNITY FACILITIES

Recreation and Leisure

Emerald Springs Golf Course and Conference Center features 18-holes of golf on a beautifully maintained course of gently rolling hills. There are tennis courts and a swimming pool. The clubhouse offers elegant dining and dancing, as well as informal lunches during the day.

For families with children, Horizon offers a Little League field and a playground at Community Park. A second park with playground and exercise facilities is located in the new Horizon Mesa subdivision. More parks and improvements are planned in newer subdivisions. School sports facilities are also open to local residents for extracurricular events and activities.

Seniors have the Oz Glaze Senior Citizen Center, constructed by Horizon City on land donated by Horizon Communities. The center is a popular meeting place for all members of the community.

The surrounding high desert is a scenic and recreational resource. At 4,000 feet elevation, Horizon is situated in a vast expanse of natural splendor. It is used for hiking and biking as well as passive recreation. An evening stroll against the backdrop of a desert sunset is something to be savored.

Community

Our residents can take advantage of many opportunities to play an active roll in a variety of local service organizations. These include Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist Clubs, the Horizon City Youth Association, the American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

For kids and teenagers, we have the Youth Association, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Brownies. Seniors can take part in numerous activities at the Oz Glaze Senior Citizen Center.

Families have a choice of Catholic, Episcopal and Baptist churches. Our Community Chapel provides a non-denominational Protestant place to worship.

Child Care and Pre-School

Working parents now have a choice of two major child care facilities. Other daycare and home care options are available. The new Pete Duarte Head Start facility on Darrington Road provides pre-school education close to the Frank Macias Elementary School in Horizon Manor. This facility is operated by the Region 19 Education Service Center.
