Azalea Park is home to a 9-hole disc golf course located in the center of the park. This course is free to use, and discs can be obtained from inside the main building. For fitness enthusiasts, the park features an outdoor Fitness Zone with exercise equipment, located on the 22nd Avenue side of the park next to the tennis courts.

The park opens 30 minutes before sunrise and closes 30 minutes after sunset, allowing visitors to enjoy the facilities throughout the day. The Recreation Center operates Monday through Friday from 7 am to 7 pm, with restrooms available inside the building during these hours.
