Waterways occupies a unique and convenient location among Orangetree communities. Corkscrew Elementary and Middle Schools are an easy walk along Waterways streets without the need to cross any major roads. Palmetto Ridge High School is slightly to the east of these schools – again can be reached on foot without crossing a major road. Parks and Recreations maintains ball fields at the Elementary and Middle Schools. Also located at Corkscrew Elementary is a Boundless Playground designed to allow able-bodied and children with disabilities to play together. The effort to fund and build this unique Playground was spearheaded by a Waterways resident.
