Swing Set Antics

Playgrounds are the ultimate after-school hangout, and at Cross Creek West, they’re more than just swings and slides. Our thoughtfully designed playscapes cater to kids of all ages and stages, so there’s something fun (and safe) for everyone. The playground at The Waterhole is a place where kids can laugh, climb and play to their heart’s content. For a change of scenery, families can explore the smaller pocket parks scattered throughout our community, perfect for a quick energy burn or a playdate with friends.

Kid-Friendly Events

Weekends are for fun and for kids to blow off some steam with kid-friendly events dreamed up by our dedicated lifestyle director. Movie nights under the stars allow kids to snuggle up with blankets and snacks. Everyone can head out to Family Recess for games and fun. Kids can also pick up valuable skills in self-defense classes or celebrate the seasons with holiday parties full of festive activities.

Game On!

The versatile pickleball and tennis courts are a fantastic way for kids to burn off energy and pick up a new skill. Whether your child dreams of being the next tennis star or just loves the fast-paced fun of pickleball, our courts offer hours of after-school action.

Teen Workout Spot

For teens 13 and up, our fitness center opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Whether they’re getting ready for sports season or just trying to stay active, this spot has all the tools they need to get stronger, feel good about themselves and build lasting healthy routines. It’s also a great way for them to have a little “me time” while focusing on their fitness goals.

Paths to Wander

Our winding trails are an open invitation to get outside and have fun. They’re perfect for kids to walk, bike or even head out on little adventures with their friends. After a long school day, they are also an awesome way to relax, recharge and soak in the fresh air. It’s also a chance for parents to tag along, share some laughs and enjoy quality time.

Fun Awaits in Cross Creek Ranch

Young Cross Creek West residents can double their afterschool fun at our sister community, Cross Creek Ranch. There, kids can try their hand at frisbee golf, shoot hoops on the sports courts or paddle across the lakes.
