Ageing Snowbird Parks, Changing habits, preferences.

Would like to see your observations, suggestions, likes and dislikes regarding some of the long existing snowbird parks.

    Wifi that actually works.


    From my experience Park WIFI rarely works, especially when park is busy. Best to have some type of cellular WIFI.
  • I think the new snowbirders are more active so activities should be geared for them, also; such as, hiking, biking, pickleball. Play 70's music rather than 50's all the time.
  • don't need much. a rec hall with a pool table, swimming pool is about all we need in the way of entertainment. clean, quiet, pets ok, clear view of the sky for the DISH sat, spacious site. close to shopping but not in the middle of a city.
  • Activities/Attractions/Ammenities.
    What do you like or want in a Snowbird Park. What is a waste of time or $$$.
  • In our 15th season as snowbirds/Winter Texans I see more and more snowbirds selling the RV and moving a park model to their favorite park and site or parking the RV permanantly on site. Some parks are now 50% - 90% permanant sites resulting in fewer sites available for newer or younger RVers.
    Good/bad? not so sure. Park owners seem to like the security of permanantly occupied sites. What are your thoughts?
