Del Webb Looked at the Future Differently

In 1960 Del Webb’s vision for a different type of retirement community was about to become a reality. And while many scoffed at his idea, the Del E. Webb Development Corporation (DEVCO) had five model homes, a recreation center, 9-hole golf course and a shopping center ready for the January 1st opening. Over 100,000 people toured Sun City AZ that weekend and, as they say, the rest is history. Those first to arrive soon realized social time spent with like-minded individuals was time well spent. Fun-filled groups quickly formed and the catchy advertising phrase from the early years – “Community of Active Living” – continues today in Sun City’s clubs and organizations. 

Join Your Favorite Club or Start Your Own

Today, chartered clubs offer something for everyone! Arts and crafts clubs such as stained glass, weavers and knitters, ceramics, quilters, clay, leather craft, china painting, silver craft, lapidary and woodworking are available for those with or without experience. Numerous educational, sports, dance, exercise, music, and card and game clubs are also available. A variety of social clubs, as well as other clubs, such as photography, gardening, and a dog club all provide an excellent opportunity for residents to become active and involved in their community. With literally dozens of clubs, if there is not a one in Sun City AZ that suits your fancy, all you have to do is start one.

This open-air amphitheater offers many outstanding performances with plenty of room for dancing and socializing with friends.

The greater metropolitan Phoenix area offers even more options – from the performing arts to cultural events, festivals and museums. There is truly something exciting and new just about everywhere you turn.

If world-class sports is your thing, you’ll love all that metro Phoenix has to offer. It’s one of only a handful of cities in the U.S. with four major professional sports teams. You’ll find the Arizona Cardinals (Glendale), Phoenix Suns, (Phoenix) and  Arizona Diamondbacks (Phoenix). And with Major League Baseball’s Cactus League and its 15 teams, spring training parks in Peoria and Surprise are just a line drive away.

Don’t forget about Phoenix International Raceway for two annual NASCAR races. There’s also amazing shopping, dining, hiking and biking trails, and boating for the full spectrum of entertainment and recreation venues to meet everyone’s desires. You’ll find it all right here in Sun City AZ, the “original” fun city.
