Located just a short trip from Avana Sterling Ridge at Cypresswood Landing, Collins Park has 55 acres available for fun activities.

The park's four baseball and five softball fields mean that there's almost always a game here. And many of them are lighted for night play! For other pursuits, check out the basketball pavilion, soccer field, skateboard park, and volleyball court. Between the two playgrounds, there are plenty of spots to have a picnic, and grills are available, too. Bicyclists can enjoy Cypresswood Trails, while walkers and joggers can take advantage of Gourley Nature Trail.

Collins Park is open Mondays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on weekends from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
