They have hybrid busses that are used for the public to get around. They are very clean and eye catching. They also have transportation going to and from the island. There are boats that are very inexpensive to everyone but especially the locals. There are also Helicopters that are inexpensive to the locals as well if they want to go to the mainland. The helicopters cut the time to get to the mainland in half. I have also been told that its way easier and more efficient by the people on the island. ]]> 2017-07-14 15:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/u1007454/ul7dmoz5634n/wish/178722186 u1007454 https://padlet.com/u1007454/ul7dmoz5634n/wish/178722836 There are many types of things for the children on the island to do. There are hiking trails and playgrounds for them to get get out of the house and enjoy outside. A new addition to the community's things to do for the children is a blow up obstacle course that is in the water just off the beach. Everyday you see many kids enjoying the fun and embracing the water. These types of things are very important to the community and let the people have more experiences. ]]> 2017-07-14 15:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/u1007454/ul7dmoz5634n/wish/178722836 u1007454 https://padlet.com/u1007454/ul7dmoz5634n/wish/178723247 The community also has many different types of fields and courts to play different sports.

The community also has a sand volleyball court and a basketball court for people to play at. Another court, that is out of the ordinary, is the water polo court. The water polo court is also in the ocean. It is a very innovative way to use the space they have. ]]> 2017-07-14 15:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/u1007454/ul7dmoz5634n/wish/178723247 u1007454 https://padlet.com/u1007454/ul7dmoz5634n/wish/178723656 The community has many different kinds of amenities for the public to use.
