This park also hosts the annual Wekiva Paint Out where people can watch artists live paint the Wekiva River. Local athletes can have fun at the tennis courts and baseball fields at Wekiva Hills Park. The 18-hole championship course at Wekiva Golf Club gives golf enthusiasts a place to practice their backswing. This private club also offers junior leagues and women's golf clinics.
