Sawmill Greenway highlights
The Sawmill Lake area strings together lakeside promenades, boardwalks, and social spaces. It is anchored by Sawmill Lake Club, which offers patios overlooking the water. The recent Sawmill Beach Club addition introduced sand play areas, cabanas, and expanded volleyball space, turning this corridor into a regular midweek and weekend meet-up zone. Check photos and details to get a feel for the lakeside vibe at Sawmill Lake Club.
Club Sienna green spaces
Near the heart of the community, Club Sienna’s grounds include an amphitheater lawn, a fishing dock, sand-volleyball, and playground areas. Families gather here for casual evenings and community programming, from outdoor performances to picnics. It is a familiar stop before or after pool time.
Camp Sienna and levee trails
For longer walks, runs, or a bike loop, many residents use the levee-side paths connected to Camp Sienna. Camp Sienna itself is a dedicated sports complex and weekend hub, so it is easy to pair a kid’s game with a trail stroll. Field maps, hours, and rentals are managed by the Sienna Parks & Levee Improvement District at SPLID Parks & Rec.
Pocket parks by village
If you prefer a low-key morning, pick a nearby pocket park for coffee and a quick play stop. The official parks list organizes options by village, noting features like playgrounds, grills, and open lawns. Because so many are within a few blocks, a short walk often replaces a car ride.
Pools and splash routines
Sienna offers five resident community pools: Brushy Lake Pool, Club Sienna Water Park, Sawmill Lake Pool, Sienna Springs Resort Pool, and Steep Bank Pool. The Association’s FAQ outlines locations, access, and rules so you can plan your season. You can reference the official list in the Association FAQ.
Club Sienna Water Park
This is the splashy centerpiece many families picture. Expect a multi-feature play structure with a tipping bucket, twisting slides, and a zero-entry lagoon for younger swimmers. There is also a separate heated lap pool used for practices and meets. Preview features and setting at the Club Sienna Water Park page.
Sawmill Lake Club pool
If you want a quieter look over the water, Sawmill Lake Club offers a freeform, lakeside pool with tanning shelves and adjacent splash play. The nearby Sawmill Beach Club adds sand, shade, and volleyball along the shore, which makes it easy to rotate between swim time and relaxed lake views.
Pool seasons and programs
Most Association-run pools operate from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, with posted hours that vary by day. Sawmill Lake Pool also offers a “swim at your own risk” option outside the core season for residents. Sienna Recreation manages swim lessons, youth teams, Masters lap-swim, water aerobics, and facility rentals. For current schedules and registrations, start with Sienna Recreation’s pools and programs and confirm any seasonal hours in the Association FAQ.
Sports, racquets, and fitness
If your routine includes practices and games, you will spend time at Camp Sienna. This ~160-acre complex handles youth soccer, lacrosse, flag football, and travel-team play, with fields and concessions organized for busy weekends. Check maps, rentals, and updates at SPLID Parks & Rec.
Racquet sports are an easy add to weeknights. Club Sienna’s racquet complex provides eight lighted tennis courts and four pickleball courts, with reservations handled through the resident app. The Association offers junior clinics, adult leagues, and seasonal socials. Court details and policies are outlined in the Association FAQ.
You will also find fitness centers on site, including at Sawmill Lake Club and the Brushy Lake recreation complex. Group classes such as bootcamps, cardio, and strength sessions run on rotating calendars. For exact times, check Sienna Recreation or TeamSideline listings when you plan your week.
Weekly rhythms and events
Midweek food trucks often set up at the Sawmill Lake pavilion, so you can grab dinner and catch the sunset by the water. See current dates on the Sienna Recreation food-truck page. Swim practices and weekend meets at Club Sienna keep the lap pool busy during peak season, and you can preview the facility at the Water Park page.
Seasonal festivals, outdoor concerts at the amphitheater, and holiday happenings fill out the year. Community-wide events are organized by the Associations’ lifestyle team, and enhancement funds collected at resale help support these programs, as noted in the Association FAQ.
