Sports facilities include basketball courts, tennis and pickleball courts, a multi-use field, a volleyball setup northwest of the softball field, and open grassy areas for exercise and play.

Two playgrounds serve younger and older children
The fenced tot play area includes smaller climbing structures, low slides, and swings designed for toddlers and preschoolers. The enclosed layout makes it easier for caregivers to supervise while children explore age-appropriate play features.
The school-age playground features a large climbing structure with platforms, rope elements, and bridges, along with a tall slide. The design encourages climbing, balancing, and active play for older children.
James Kenney Community Center
The James Kenney Community Center offers year-round programs, classes, and events for all ages, including youth activities, sports, and neighborhood gatherings. An elevator provides access to the community center for visitors with mobility needs.
