Heath's public outdoor spaces include lakefront recreation, a central gathering park, and smaller neighborhood areas. Terry Park sits on Lake Ray Hubbard with a boat ramp, trails, picnic space, and a playground. Towne Center Park combines recreation with community-event space, while Antigua Bay Park serves a smaller neighborhood setting. These places help distinguish different outdoor activities within the same city.

Heath also identifies The Reserve Nature Trails and publishes a citywide trail map. A home near the lake, a neighborhood park, or a natural corridor may require a different route to reach public access. Compare the actual entrance and trailhead from the property, then check current boat-ramp, court, or pavilion arrangements with the city before planning the particular activity you have in mind.

### Places to know

**Terry Park.** A Lake Ray Hubbard park with a boat ramp, paths, picnic areas, and a playground.

**Towne Center Park.** A central recreation and community-event destination.

**Antigua Bay Park.** A smaller neighborhood park with a walking path, pavilion, and play space.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Use Heath's trail map to identify an actual public connection or trailhead near the property.
- Check current Terry Park boat-ramp and city pavilion arrangements separately from ordinary walking access.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
