The Kayak Outpost
There's so much to love about the Outpost Adventure Park! The open-air pavilion is stylish and features plenty of comfy seating. You can meet up with friends and neighbors to catch up and let the kids play. Or even just head over with a good book to enjoy the scenery! There's also a built-in firepit, perfect for roasting s'mores and telling stories around the fire.
Just around the corner from the Outpost, the Kayak Launch awaits! The Kayak Launch is one of the most unique amenities at Shearwater - you won't find something like this just anywhere! This launch provides direct access to the much-loved Trout Creek, which connects to the St. Johns River. Residents can launch their kayaks and canoes to paddle the afternoon away. Or, pack up some bait and a fishing rod to cast a line from your kayak. You never know what you might hook! The best part? Residents can access it all without leaving the community. So, forget dragging everything to the car only to wait in traffic to get there - living in Shearwater makes it easy and convenient.

Tennis Courts
Shearwater strives to incorporate Healthy Living by offering four illuminated Har-Tru clay tennis courts for competition and leisure play. The Stadium Court is designed to allow an audience to gather with picnic blankets and chairs to watch tennis clinics/tournaments. While the three contained tennis courts are perfect for large tennis camps, or exhibition matches.
Tennis Lessons:
To help improve your skills on the court, Shearwater has partnered with 904 Tennis to offer group and private lessons, available to all Shearwater residents. To train with 904 Tennis, email Ashley Miller at scott@904tennis.com, or simply show up to one of their many scheduled classes. To view the current schedule of tennis lessons, check out our Community Calendar.
The Shearwater tennis courts are designed using Har-Tru Clay. To ensure the integrity of these courts, we ask that all players use only smooth sole tennis shoes during play.
In order to provide the best surface for play, the Har-Tru Clay must be watered frequently. Paired with everyday use and regular maintenance, the material will bind, creating a smooth and comfortable playing experience.
Har-Tru Clay is fast drying material, but we ask that you please refrain from playing on drenched courts.
Community Gardens:
Shearwater's community garden is where residents of all ages gather to grow their own fruit, herbs, and vegetables. It's here where families can use their own two hands to contribute to a sense of community and connect with the environment.
The community garden beds are cared for by individual gardeners. To nurture the hard work and dedication put into these plots, please enjoy the beauty of the garden from the paths.
Let's cultivate beautiful gardens and strong community bonds together!
Please refrain from picking anything from the beds.
Don't have a bed this season? Here's how you can contribute:

Shearwater is a pet-friendly community! Both parks are spacious, fenced-in, and the perfect place for your pups to run free and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Socialization is an important factor when raising any animal, and the dog park is the perfect place for your fur baby to sharpen their social skills. Not only that, but it encourages neighbors with shared interests to get to know one another and help build a sense of community. Kids will love playing fetch and chasing their dog around, all while making new friends.
