Germantown is an oasis of outdoor recreation opportunities. Germantown has 29 community parks, covering more than 750 acres of recreational land. They provide athletic fields and courts (including croquet and disc golf), picnic areas, biking/walking trails playgrounds and facilities reflecting a Parks and Recreation department goal of placing recreational and leisure opportunities within a half mile of every home.
The Bobby Lanier Farm Park is a working model of a community based suburban farm park which demonstrates, promotes, educates and advocates for a sustainable, healthy and supportive community. The 10 acre working farm features a community garden, a farmers’ market, live music, cooking demonstrations, garden talks, visiting farm animals, garden tours and storybook walks on a weekly basis. Fore more information, visit thefarmpark.org.
The Germantown Greenway offers a paved pathway for walkers, runners and bicyclists. Sections are open along the Wolf River, beginning at Neshoba Park, and between Johnson Road Park and Houston Levee Park. Designed as a linear park, the Germantown Greenway will eventually encircle the City, linking parks, schools and neighborhoods.
Germantown Athletic Club combines the best of both worlds - a fitness facility with leading-edge equipment and expert staff and a community atmosphere where you become a part of our family. Members see Germantown Athletic Club as an extension of their own home – an environment that fosters fitness and fellowship. They’ve discovered a unique atmosphere of camaraderie unlike any other fitness club around. Your time at the Club is more than a membership – it’s an experience.
