Oak Hills Golf Center
Tee up your best golf game across 5,581 yards of competitive greens! This is the only public 18-hole golf course in town that is open year-round. As long as the greens are frost-free, they're open for play.

Washington Park Pickleball Complex
With eight dedicated outdoor courts, this new facility is quite popular with the pickleball players! Whether you reserve a court or show up for open play, make sure to get there early in the morning or later in the evening to take advantage of the cooler temps.
