I had a chance yesterday to stop by the newest Village Recreation Center - Manatee - on Hillsborough Drive in the Dunedin/Lake Deaton areas.

Wow, what a beautiful decorating job they did on this center...the color scheme, floors, carpets, big manatee mural in the large meeting room, the decor items, etc.

To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed by the last two Village Centers so I was pleasantly surprised when I toured Manatee....beautiful!!!

(Village Centers are the ones with Family Pools and billiard rooms. Not to be confused with Regional Rec Centers, like Eisenhower....which was an outstanding design effort)

Check out Manatee next time you are heading to Brownwood. It's closer to the Buena Vista side of Hillsborough than the Morse Blvd side.
