Rotary Community Park, centrally located off of South Smoketree Avenue, is both well-known and well visited by locals and visitors alike. Accentuated by plush green grass and tree-shaded walkways, Rotary Park offers a buoyed-in swim beach encircled by 40 acres of surrounding space.

Six volleyball courts, as well as two bocce ball courts, are available to the public on a first come, first served basis, with a two-mile walking/jogging path looping the entire park.
