Staying Active

Recreational enthusiasts both young and old can enjoy outdoor offerings in and around Enterprise. With an excellent selection of parks, woods, freshwater streams, rivers and lakes, Enterprise is the destination for sportsmen, weekend athletes and nature lovers alike.

Enterprise has 80 acres of well-planned parks and modern sports fields. Tennis, baseball and softball players will appreciate the modern facilities at Donaldson Park. Included in the park grounds are six tennis courts, two softball fields, a baseball field, batting cages and several practice fields. For those who prefer a more relaxing recreational experience, there is the Enterprise Recreational Complex on Hwy. 167 North. With a lake, walking trails, playgrounds, and pavilion/picnic areas, the Enterprise Recreational Complex is a favorite destination for both young and old.

Complementing its variety of outdoor parks, Enterprise also maintains modern and spacious indoor recreational facilities. The M.N. “Jug” Brown Recreational Center, the E.A. “Moose” Hope Gymnasium, Enterprise Ozark Community College and the Enterprise YMCA are among the facilities offering year-round amenities and activities.

With its deep woods, open fields, streams, rivers and lakes, Enterprise is a great place for hunters and outdoorsmen. Deer, turkey, duck, dove and wild hog are plentiful throughout the woods and fields, while bass, bream, crappie and catfish can be found in nearby Lake Tholocco and other streams, rivers and ponds. Lake Tholocco, on Fort Rucker and open to the public, also offers swimming, and other water sports.

Tartan Pines, a premier 18-hole public course designed to challenge the seasoned golf pro, is enjoyable for any golfer. With its tree-lined fairways, lake views and rolling hills, the Enterprise Country Club provides some of the more challenging golf in the area. Built in 1960, this beautiful course is an 18-hole par 72 that features large and fast greens and uneven topography, making this course simultaneously a challenge and a joy to play.
