Green Acres Sports Complex (The ROC)

Recreational Facilities

Spanning across a generous stretch of land, Green Acres Sports Complex offers something for everyone who enjoys the outdoors. At the heart of this sprawling park sits an 18-hole disc golf course that meanders through the natural landscape with thoughtful design.

If you're just figuring out your frisbee technique or you can nail those long distance throws, this course has enough variety to keep things interesting. It's earned quite the reputation among local disc golf enthusiasts as one of the better courses Tyler has to offer - and for good reason. The well-maintained fairways and natural obstacles create just the right balance of fun and challenge.

Sports Fields

If soccer's more your game, you'll appreciate the soccer fields that have clearly been given regular attention. They work perfectly for anything from a casual weekend kickaround to more competitive league play. There are also nicely kept softball fields where you can catch local teams in action or organize your own friendly match.

These versatile fields really form the backbone of what makes this complex such a valuable resource for active locals.

Walking and Fitness

Not everyone's looking to break a sweat in team sports, and that's perfectly fine. The one-mile walking track offers a paved pathway that's accessible for almost everyone - from serious joggers to families just wanting to stretch their legs a bit.

The trail has some gentle hills that add interest to your walk, and the surrounding greenery makes for a pleasant backdrop. It's just challenging enough to feel like you've done something good for yourself without being overwhelming.

Fishing and Outdoor Activities

The fishing lakes operate on a catch-and-release basis, which helps preserve the fish population while still letting you enjoy the satisfaction of a good catch. There's something deeply relaxing about spending a few hours beside these waters.

The small pond area in particular offers a peaceful retreat from the more active sections of the park - a nice spot to sit and collect your thoughts amidst nature.

Family-Friendly Amenities

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area that's perched on a hill, complete with a slide that seems to be a universal favorite among the younger visitors. It's an excellent place for children to burn off some energy while parents take a breather.

If you're planning a gathering, check out the picnic pavilions that you can reserve ahead of time. These spaces have hosted everything from birthday celebrations to band practices, offering shelter and a home base for your outdoor activities. They're spacious enough to accommodate various group sizes without feeling cramped.
