The park often hosts community events, concerts and local sports games. There's also Village Square Park, a passive park built on the site of a former car wash, which features a plaza lined with palm trees, a decorative fountain, pavilions and benches where locals can settle in with a book. Just north of Sunrise Golf Village East is Lauderhill Sports Park, where local athletic teams compete. A football field, cricket field, basketball court and soccer field are just a few of the park's athletic facilities.
