The South Gate Community Association (SGCA) was founded and incorporated as a not-for-profit voluntary association in 1956. The association owns the historic Victor Lundy South Gate Center, which is a Sarasota area historically designated building. Our swimming pool is vintage and is the oldest continuously operated swimming pool in the Sarasota area. Our goal is to maintain and preserve these unique amenities for future generations. Help us!
Although we rent the Center for events, including weddings, parties, celebrations of life, and similar activities, these rentals only cover a portion of our costs. Your membership and ideas are needed. Please Get Involved!
We exist "for the purpose of promoting social and recreational gatherings for its members, their families and friends, and toward the end of cementing a good fellowship and a social cooperative spirit in this community." A quote from our historical documents.
The funds raised through the voluntary memberships and event rentals go to support the (i) on-going preservation of our historic center, including the grounds and pool areas, (ii) deed restriction enforcement, and (iii) civic and social activities.
