Exercise. We all need it, and I’m often asked if there are activities close by that are good for getting back into shape with a ‘games approach’ to exercise. Well, we’re very lucky to have a facility right in Lewes that offers an amazing range of activities and exercise, and its called The Factory.
Located on the grounds off of Route 9 in Nassau Commons, about 5 minutes away from Coastal Club, it’s practically on our doorstep! No need to travel to Salisbury or Dover.
The Factory is amazing. A fairly new location that has a playing area of 120ft x 50ft hardwood from a previously used professional basketball court. I’m pretty sure the floor was once used by the New Jersey Nets, now called the Brooklyn Nets. Not a bad ‘claim to fame’ if I do say so myself. But the court isn’t just for basketball, it’s used for indoor soccer,volleyball, and pickleball during the winter months as well.
My son Oliver has had dodgeball themed birthday parties there, and attended summer and one-day camps when school is out and the wife still has to work. For Oliver’s birthday parties there, it was so simple for us parents. The coaches looked after the kiddos and we watched. Perfect! I love that there are adult and youth leagues for basketball, indoor soccer, volleyball and pickleball (which is growing bigger and bigger down here at the beach).
Make sure you check The Factory out, it could be your way of getting back into sports and exercise, or just another great avenue to get our youth away from those screens!
