Beat The Heat In The Water

Lake Havasu City continues to bake with triple digit temperatures.  So, about the only place you can beat the heat is to jump in the water for a great cool down. 

 

Lake Havasu has over 400 miles of shoreline to enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking and much more during this hot weather.  Along the shoreline, there are eight marinas and nine public beaches.  As long as you are in the water, you will stay cool.

 

A great place to cool down with the kids is the Aquatic Center , which has an indoor wave pool, water slides, kiddie lagoon, therapeutic pools, Sun Splash Spray park and lounge areas.  Another great place to cool down with the kids is the Nautical Water Park .  The park can be found at the Nautical Inn Resort’s beach.  The water park features inflatable water slides and water platforms.  The slides are called the Iceberg and the Rock Slider, while the platform goes by the name Saturn because it looks like a space ship.

 

I just can’t think of a better way to beat the heat than to spend the day playing in the water.

New Assisted Living Facility Will Open Its Doors Soon In Lake Havasu City

The Idaho based assisted-living, Bee Hive Homes, had a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday in Lake Havasu City.  The new facility will feature some things you might find in a highend home such as stainless steel appliances and high ceilings.  The facility is located on Jamaica Boulevard and is made up of fifteen private rooms.  Each room has its own private bathroom.  Everyone shares the common living room, kitchen and dining area.  It will also have large flat screen televisions and plush furniture

  
Any and all needs of the residents will be taken care of by a great staff.  The meals are an upgrade.  All meals are dietician planned and served family style.  Residents can eat anything they want when  they want too.

Residents can expect a great quality of life in the new facility.  Lake Havasu City is wonderful.  It has afforded me a great quality of life, too.

Lake Havasu City ’s Rezoning Proposal

On Wednesday, the planning and zoning commission of Lake Havasu City voted to recommend the rezoning of two of Lake Havasu City ’s most respected areas.  On August 6,   the Havasu Riviera project and lower McCulloch Boulevard area will go before the city council.

 

Currently, the 250 acres south of the Water Safety Center at Contact Point is where the Havasu Riviera project is located.  It is zoned light agricultural, but if passed by the City Council, it will be rezoned to mixed use and multiple family residential, putting it on the road to becoming a Resort-Related Mainland.  The plan will include an art and convention center, a marina, a five-star hotel and resort, and a four-year university.  The proposal will also call for development of commercial business and residential housing in the vicinity to be in conjunction to the project.

 

Almost all commission members are pleased with the proposal and planning process.  Many believe it is the perfect location for a five-star resort, which could take 7 to 10 years to finish.

 

The rezoning of lower McCulloch Boulevard , if passed, will designate the areas of Swanson Avenue , Smoketree Avenue , Mesquite Boulevard, and Lake Havasu Boulevard as a Health and Commercial District.  The district will allow for medical, retail, office and commercial use, along with grocery stores, auto parts stores, ambulance services, and retail bakeries.

 

This sounds to me like some great and exciting new things are coming to Lake Havasu City .
