Ballantyne Guide: Outdoor Activities
Ballantyne makes it easy to swap screen time for fresh air, friendly competition and some fun. From fishing and biking to pickleball and farmers' markets, here are a few ways to get outside and make the most of your day.
Grab your fishing pole and head to one of Ballantyne’s catch-and-release ponds for a little quiet time between meetings.
Take on Crash Course, Ballantyne’s 18-hole, par-3 disc golf course, and see who can master the course.
With 20+ miles of walking paths and bike lanes, there are plenty of routes for a quick ride, lunchtime stroll or after-work adventure.
Challenge your team to a game of pickleball, ping-pong or cornhole. Pickleball courts at the Hayes Building parking deck are available daily on a first-come, first-served basis, while ping-pong and cornhole spots are sprinkled throughout campus.
Trade the treadmill for the trees. The three-quarter-mile Fit Trail features 20 exercise stations for a quick workout that gets you moving and back to your day.
Lace up, meet up and get some miles in with the OMB Run Club. It’s a fun way to make your run a little more social and end your workout at OMB.
Explore the Ballantyne Farmers Market at Brixham Park, which occurs on the first Wednesday of the month in spring and fall (don’t miss our last market of the season on Wednesday, October 7, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.). Shop local farmers, makers and small businesses and grab lunch at rotating food trucks.
At Ballantyne, you don't have to go far to make the most of the outdoors. Enjoy additional ways to recharge during the workday or beyond by exploring our dozens of parks.
