On the south side of Jupiter is the planned community of Abacoa featuring many different neighborhoods all designed with the live, work, play idea in mind. Abacoa was built around the Town Center and several important institutions. Scripps, FAU Honors College, Wackenhut now known as G4S and the Max Planck Institute are all located here as is the Abacoa Golf Club and the Roger Dean Stadium. The stadium is home to spring training for the Florida Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals. And right now every baseball fan is geared up for spring training.

Of course the thrill of seeing Albert Pujols is gone but the weather is tremendous, the field is in great shape and there are plenty of foul balls for the kids to chase. I know this field was designed by very famous architects, but foul balls exit the field and if they don't land on an unlucky spectator can be found in front of the stands.

Over in Palm Beach Gardens, preparations are underway for the Honda Classic in a few weeks and many of the top touring pros live within a 15 mile radius. Of course, the big news last year was the addition of areas where you could make cell phone calls. The big news this year is that Jupiter Island resident Tiger Woods will be playing. In the past, we was beneath him. Now he hopes to rekindle the fire that characterized his early years and the Honda is turning into quite an event.
If you are looking for a great place to see pro sports, Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter are the spots this time of year.
