Speaking of Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, the 1,200 seat hall is a masterpiece of acoustical engineering that opened in 2007, and now brings acts from all over the world, including national recording artists, world-renowned symphonies and orchestras, and theatrical masterpieces.

The world-renowned Mount Trashmore Park, just down the road from Town Center, encompasses 165-acres and is comprised of two man-made mountains, two lakes, two playgrounds, a skate park, and multi-use paths. The main mountain is called Mount Trashmore because it was created by compacting layers of solid waste and clean soil. Recognized for its environmental feat, this former landfill is more than just a scientific marvel.
With ten outdoor fitness stations located along the perimeter trail around Lake Trashmore, this park is a dream come true for avid outdoor exercisers. Six LifeTrail stations are designed for active, older adults to help improve posture and balance as well as increase strength. One of the LifeTrail stations is specifically for wheelchair-accessible activities. Four Energi Prime stations create a total body fitness system to help you stretch and strengthen your muscles. Multiple activities are available at each station and exercises for all fitness levels are outlined on the instruction panels.
