Sunnydale is a community steeped in history. Colonized by the Spanish centuries ago and given the quaint and colourful name Boca del inferno.
Nowadays, many interesting folks make their homes in Sunnydale, and once you've been here a while, you'll see why!
Many of the attractions are clustered in the central dowtown section, while the beach, docks, skating rink and other places of interest make a divering excursion by car or bus. (Maps soon to be available)

The lovely Spanish style campus of Sunnydale High School features an attractive Quad, where the annual May Queen is announced and an Olympic sized swimming pool. Sunnydale High is home to the fierce Razorbacks. In 1977, the cheerleading squad won the tri-county championship, and in 1996, too state semifinals in boys swimming.

There are 43 churches in Sunnydale... but some claimt thre are 44! Ghost stories about a sunken church persist despite the fact that no such structure has ever been locted. Museum archeologists have explored the vast warren of tunnels beneath the town without success. Still, the legend of the Master's Lair never dies.
Continue on a few blocks from the campus and you'll come across another beautiful example of Spanish architecture. These multi-story buildings have now been turned into condos. Rupert Giles, the school librarian lives here.
Doubling back towards the campu, take a short walk to the edge of town and you'll come across The Bronze. This is the local hangout for high school students and young adults. The place has an appealing dive-y eartiness; everyone's welcome but you must get your hand stamped if you're old enough to drink. There is also live entertainment almost every night and the club hosts most other community get-togethers.

Approximately ten blocks to the northeast of the Bronze are a number of abandoned warehouses, where, until recently, an attractive brick factory occupied most of a city block. Discussions were underway to renovate this building when a fire burned the factory to the ground.
Also located in this part of town are two very 'colourful' establishments, the rather rough Fish Tank and Willi's Alibi Room. (No one under 21 admitted.) In addition to these, there is the private Sunset Club for which you need a password to enter. This Goth club was once said to play host to some real life vampires, but you can judge for yourself as you walk among its denizens of black lace and blood red velvet.

A ten block walk east will lead you to the main gate of Sunnydale Armoury. The armoury offers tours of its weapons Museum on saturdays from 1-3pm. A number of interesting armaments have been recovered during excavations in and around Sunnydale.
Rounding the perimeter of the Armoury and heading back west, you'll come across Sunnydale Hospital. A state of the art but incredibly busy hospital for a town so small.
Continue past the police station and the city administration building, and you come to the lovely Sunnydale Mall. Recently refurbished, in boasts a multiplex cinema as well as many shops and a lavish food court. Leaving the mall, the business district offers more fascinating shopping opportunities. Not for the fainthearted, the Magic Box carries voodoo dolls, love charms and Ouija boards. It also sells an attractive line in crystal globe paper weights called "Orbs of Thesulah". Many nearby shops specialize in costume rental and Halloween gear. The oldest costume shop in town is Party Town and a few years ago Ethan's was a big hit. (Currently closed.)

Continuing down the lane, you'll come to one of the most beautiful residential areas. Wide boulevards and deodora pines grace the yards of several homes on Revello Drive, as well as attractive Southern California ranch ans Mediterranean styles on the cross streets. If you continue on, you'll arrive at Weatherly Park, a meeting place for many young people and senior citizens alike. This large park is suitable for biking, hiking and picnicking. Skateboarding is prohibited. Its best to stick to the paths and trails. The gates are locked at 10pm. For younger children, there is a playground a few blocks north, with a jungle gym and swings.
About a mile from the playground is the Sunnydale Natural History Museum, boasting several impressive collections.

No tour of Sunnydale would be complete without a visit to the Sunnydale Zoo. Home to many rare and exotic species, the zoo is a favourite with all ages.

Next stop has to be the Sunnydale Beach. Take the I-17 west (municipal bus #13, "beach stop") Bonfires are permitted but you may not take alcoholic beverages or glass bottles onto the sand. There have been several shark sightings but the Sunnydale Water Safety Commission advise there is no cause for alarm.
If big fish are what you're after, try the Sunnydale Docks Home to a healthy shipping industry, the docks house deep sea fishing boats that are available for charter. For more details call 555-FISH.
Take the I-17 in the opposite direction, past the Sunnydale exit and take the Kallas off-ramp to get to the Sunnydale Ice Rink (bus #66, "ice rink stop") This rink is one of the quieter places to visit. (closed on tuesdays).

Return into Sunnydale for a quiet moment in the Sunnydale Cemetary with some beautiful masoleums and many interesting stories to be found. The historic Sunnydale Funeral Home is located nearby.

A quick turn down the street and you can take in a round of mini golf! Providing wholesome family entertainment.
On the outskirts of town stands a mansion, which is reputed to have been owned by a silent movie star who deeded it to the town upon her death. The Historical Society have let it to a reclusive gentleman known only as "Mr. A". The movers reported it to be filled with art deco statuary and fixtures. However, "Mr. A" has now moved, but the fittings still remain, call the Historical Society on 555-PAST for details.

We all hope you enjoy your tour of Sunnydale and who knows, maybe once you spend some time here, you'll find that you just can't leave!!
