Play Outdoors

Welcome to Rockwall's Recreation Scene

Rockwall’s recreation scene has something for everyone looking to stay active, build friendships, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re into team sports, solo workouts, or just want a reason to hang out, this summer is packed with ways to get moving.

The Men’s and Coed Adult Softball Leagues bring the heat with competitive doubleheaders and plenty of post-game banter. Prefer a quick, social workout? Pickleball is booming with drop-in games and tournaments. Or go low-key with disc golf at Harry Myers Park or a peaceful bike ride through Squabble Creek Trails.

From the fairways at Buffalo Creek Golf Club to casting a line on Lake Ray Hubbard, Rockwall makes it easy to mix fitness with fun. Whatever your speed or skill level, these activities are built for movement, connection, and good times. So get off the sidelines—there’s a whole community out there waiting to play.

Disc golf delivers a laid-back challenge at Harry Myers Park with one of the nation’s top-rated courses. It’s all the fun of golf without the clubs, carts, or pressure on your swing.

Pickleball is a movement in Rockwall. With drop-in play available at Hickory Ridge Park and Harry Myers Park, it’s easy to get in on the action. The game is fast-paced, social, and beginner-friendly, making it ideal for guys looking to move and mingle. Want more intensity? Head over to Oasis Pickleball Club in nearby McLendon-Chisholm for competitive tournaments and open play at all levels.

Rockwall isn’t just about play—it’s about presence. Getting outside isn’t just good for your body; it’s fuel for friendship, mental clarity, and real connection. This season, explore new ways to bond with the guys while staying active and grounded. 

Start with the water. Lake Ray Hubbard is a prime spot for fishing at sunrise or boating until dusk. Bring your own gear or rent locally—just being on the lake is an easy way to relax, reflect, and reconnect. Afterward, grab a meal at one of the Harbor District’s lakeside restaurants for good food and better conversation.

Nature lovers and fitness fans alike will appreciate Squabble Creek Trails. These wooded paths offer the right mix of peace and challenge. If movement is more your mode, the trails offer a shady escape ideal for solo rides or group jogs. Prefer wheels over walking? The trail system, maintained by the Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association (DORBA), welcomes mountain bikers of all levels.

Golfers can take advantage of Buffalo Creek Golf Club for morning rounds or twilight tee times. Whether you're working on your short game or catching up between holes, it’s more than a pastime—it’s a built-in way to stay in touch.

Cap off your week with live music under the stars at one of the local breweries and restaurants. Rockwall’s Concert by the Lake series and San Jacinto Plaza performances are perfect for catching up without the need for a big plan—just show up, grab a chair, and enjoy. Whether it’s date night, guys night, or an evening with family and friends, the relaxed and friendly vibe will calm and clear your head.

In Rockwall, recreation isn’t just about breaking a sweat—it’s about showing up, staying connected, and finding moments of joy with people who matter.
