If you are interested in getting active, we have four lighted tennis courts, two covered and lighted basketball courts, two lighted softball fields, a skateboard course and our 38,000 sq foot recreation center.

Our dog park - Paws 4 Duty, offers two large shaded off-leash areas; one for large dogs and the other for small, shy dogs or puppies. The park features water and shower stations for our canine friends to use while they exercise and socialize.
