The community has a large central park, Leonard-Leota Park, named in part after early settler Levi Leonard. The park contains Lake Leota, which has fishing, boating, and swimming. Park amenities include a baseball diamond with night lighting, a softball diamond, two tennis courts, a basketball court, a swimming pool, picnic shelters, and playgrounds. A skateboard facility was installed in 2006. In addition, there are several smaller community parks, among them Countryside, Franklin, and Brzezinski. In 2008, a new large park was opened on Evansville's west side to accommodate the new subdivisions being built there. The development of this park will take place over a number of years, but two full-size soccer fields and a children's playground are in place. Plans include baseball diamonds, basketball courts and picnic shelters.
