Sun City Grand – Lakeside Pavilion
Located in Sun City Grand, Lakeside Pavilion is a good stop for checking for wintering waterbirds and migrants in season. While most of Sun City is a private community, this Pavilion is public accessible and is an easy walk for everyone and is handicapped accessible. The Pavilion has a walking path that runs for a fourth of a mile. It is alongside a few ponds that border a golf course. Along the path are also several lines of large trees that would be attractive to migrants. The ponds can be viewed from the Pavilion and by walking down the path conditions are excellent for viewing wintering waterfowl.
