The Houston Parks and Recreation Department’s Adult Sports section manages a wide variety of recreational sports opportunities that let grown-ups play like kids-at-heart.
Each year, the office organizes more than 1,000 adult teams. Men’s, women’s and coed leagues are played during the winter, spring, summer and fall seasons, Monday through Friday, for a five-week doubleheader or 10-week single games at locations throughout the city. Additionally, water fitness classes are offered during the summer as a good form of cross-training for recreational athletes and individuals interested in enhancing their health and fitness levels.
