 From
its historic downtown and circle to the modern
Sebring International Raceway, Sebring Florida
is known around the world for its warm
hospitality and welcome to all, from near and
far away. Better known for its weeklong race
activity in the fall and spring each year, the
community offers many other activities and
events for young and old to enjoy throughout
the year. This charming community will capture
your imagination and your affection to the
point that many visitors return each year and
some even return to live.
Circle
Park in historic downtown Sebring has been a
focal point for community activities since the
early 1900’s when the City was founded by
George Sebring. Historic preservation and
restoration efforts of recent years have
turned downtown Sebring into an attraction in
itself, and it is the source of great
community pride.
Recreation
opportunities in the Sebring area abound for
people of all ages including fresh water
swimming in our many lakes, fishing, boating,
water skiing and other water sports.
Largemouth bass abound in area lakes and many
are of trophy size. People can enjoy nature at
its best in nearby Highlands Hammock State
Park, the oldest in Florida's State Park
System. Golfers have many excellent courses to
choose from that challenge skills of all
levels. Many other opportunities to enjoy life
in the outdoors also exist in the Greater
Sebring area, including bicycling and bird
watching.
A
dynamic business community supported by
progressive city and county government,
combined with affordable housing and
convenience, are but some of the ingredients
that make the Greater Sebring area an ideal
place to visit, live, work and play. Everyone
agrees that the quality of life is a strong
factor in the community's stability and
growth.
Development
of new business is encouraged, and a qualified
available labor force, supported by a number
of training programs, combined with low taxes
contribute to a business environment that is
second to none.
Highlands
has moderate temperatures and sunny days to
assure plenty of fun all year round. You can
enjoy water-skiing, swimming, fishing,
boating, sailing or you can relax under the
blue sky and picnic or go hiking.
