3. BNP Paribas Open earpiece radios
In partnership with Bank of the West, the BNP Paribas Open will more than double the amount of free earpiece radios for fans on-site to listen to live play-by-play and commentary from Tennis Channel and ESPN throughout the event. In addition, in a commitment to sustainability, this year’s radio packaging will be biodegradable, and any radios returned to the Bank of the West booth will be broken down and recycled following the event.
Radios will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis at the Bank of the West activation booth on the north side of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden beginning on Wednesday, March 6. There will be a limited quantity of radios handed out each day. In addition to picking up a radio at the Bank of the West booth, fans are also invited to participate in its Artistic Ace activation, where each participant can create their own unique digital art self-portrait to share on social media.
More radios means more fun and engagement for tennis fans in 2019.
4. The Reserve Club
www.thereserveclub.com
The Reserve is a rejuvenation of the senses and spirit. The Bungalows, Casitas, Villas and Estates vary in size and design features to create a unique community of homes. All residences share a natural palette of color and textures that captures the drama and beauty of the surrounding terrain. Open living rooms flow seamlessly from the inside and out with generous places to entertain and quiet spaces to rest and relax.
The Reserve was envisioned exactly as you see it today: an unrivaled private community stretching across 700 acres of spectacular topography. Low-density meets high livability on one incredible piece of land, and being located just minutes from the high end shopping and restaurant district of El Paseo, our homes are the perfect mix of solitude and convenience. These attributes have consistently made our community the most desired Real Estate in Indian Wells.
Residents enjoy many special amenities including miles of marked hiking trails, 24 hour staffed security gate with roving patrols to respond at a moment’s notice, on property private post office and homeowners association staff. In addition, a big plus for our furry friends is an expansive grassed and fenced dog park.
The Reserve has achieved what is rare: a spectacular enclave that blends harmoniously with its habitat, integrating stunning architectures and lush golf fairways with the desert’s natural beauty. The Reserve was honored as one of Luxury Golf & Travel magazine’s Top 25 private golf communities in America, joining a long list of previous accolades.
