Outdoor Activities to Beat the Summer Heat


Summer has arrived in Liberty Hill, TX, bringing the warm embrace of sunshine and longer days perfect for outdoor fun. At Lariat, we believe in making the most of this season with a variety of activities that not only help you stay cool, but create lasting memories with family and friends at the same time.

Wetzel Park Splash Pad

One of the best ways to beat the heat this summer is with a visit to the Wetzel Park Splash Pad. This family-friendly spot in Liberty Hill offers a safe and enjoyable water play area for kids of all ages. You can touch the blue pole to turn on the sprinkler features, which include interactive water features and shaded seating areas. The splash pad operates from April 1 to September 30, from 10 AM to 8 PM daily, and best of all, admission is free! It's the perfect place to cool off, have fun, and enjoy the outdoors without going far from home.

Backyard Fun

Backyard activities can be just as refreshing for those who prefer to stay close to home. Gather your family for a water balloon toss, or you could create a DIY slip-n-slide! Don't forget to stay hydrated and apply sunscreen to keep everyone safe under the sun.

Organizing a water balloon fight is a great way to unite the community while ensuring everyone stays safe. Set some ground rules, such as using biodegradable balloons to minimize environmental impact and cleaning up afterward to keep our community clean. It's a fantastic way to cool off while enjoying friendly competition and creating memorable moments with friends and neighbors.

You could also create your backyard adventure with a DIY slip-n-slide. All you need is a tarp, a hose, and some creativity. It's a simple yet effective way to beat the heat and keep everyone entertained for hours.

Enjoy a Little Fishing

The resident-exclusive catch and release fishing pond will be a great activity for all ages during the warmer months. Residents can reel in exciting catches while making memories with friends and neighbors. Whether you are catching the sunset on the dock or starting your morning with a fishing pole in hand, you can bait a few hooks close to home.

Cool off at The Watering Hole at Lariat (coming soon!)

The Watering Hole, coming soon, will be your new favorite spot at Lariat. Whether swimming laps, lounging by the poolside, or enjoying a cold drink with neighbors, The Watering Hole will be a great spot for residents to cool off poolside. You can soak up the sun or swim laps while your little ones play at the nearby splash pad!
