5 Pickleball Courts
We wouldn’t think of designing a 55 community without pickleball. If you’ve never played it, we know you’ll love it! A hybrid of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, Pickleball is played on a court a quarter of the size of a tennis court. Using a hard racket and a variation of a whiffle ball, Pickleball has become the hottest new sport in Active Adult communities. It’s simple to learn; yet as you progress it can become quite competitive requiring quick reactions as players trade rapid-fire shots at the net. We offer groups of all skill levels beginning at our “cucumber” league, for those just getting started, to our very competitive league.
Tennis
Taking advantage of the North Carolina climate means getting out on the tennis court most days of the year. As a 55 retirement community, we know that tennis is a favorite way to stay active among residents. The Classic Clay Synthetic surface on our tennis court is the best money can buy! The surface is filled with sand to minimize the impact on the back, knees, ankles, and feet so you will have many more years of active play. Lessons or refresher courses are available upon request.
Croquet
Croquet in Carolina – it just sounds like the perfect match. At Bailey’s Glen retirement community, it’s just one more way to stay active. The spirit of this English game has been slowed down to a Southern pace as our court is surrounded with porch swings and Adirondack chairs – offering another beautiful spot to congregate with friends.
Bocce
Bocce is the signature game of our retirement community. This popular Italian pastime is definitely a Bailey’s Glen favorite. We offer three gorgeous courts and a shady spacious gazebo area to gather for some casual fun. Play on your own or join the weekly league for competitive play!
Putting Green & Golf Net
You can’t be considered a top retirement community in North Carolina if you don’t offer a way to keep folks’ golf game sharp. Our putting green and golf net will keep your skills tuned up. A great advantage for you as you venture out to our many nearby golf courses!
Game Room & Library
Weekly game nights and game days are a fun time for residents to enjoy games like Bunco, Mexican Train, Bridge, Poker, Mah Jong, and more. Our library offers a vast collection of books available for borrowing. Bring a book, take a book, and find a comfortable spot on the sofa to relax and read.

Lake Norman
Beautiful Lake Norman is sometimes referred to as the “inland sea” of North Carolina; it offers 520 miles of shoreline and a surface area of more than 306 square miles. The lake boasts two bank fishing areas and eight public boating access areas along the shoreline.
Four Mild Seasons
For an active retirement community, the weather simply doesn’t get any better than this. The Lake Norman/Charlotte area offers a mild, four-season climate. July, our warmest month, offers beautiful sunny days and a daytime average temperature of about 88 degrees – perfect weather for swimming and boating. As a matter of fact, we will give you 214 days of sunshine per year! Our autumn season is extremely enjoyable with beautiful fall colors and mild temperatures in the 60s and 70s. No more snow shovels or heavy winter coats – January, our coldest month with an average daytime temperature of 49 degrees! Rain? Not bad at only about 43 inches per year! That’s just enough to create a beautiful, lush landscape. It’s an ideal climate for a 55 active adult retirement community.
