Eco's is one of the most complete places on the Island for playing different disciplines. You'll find soccer fields, beach tennis courts and padel courts. The facilities also include a space for live music, a bar, shops and several food stalls to choose from.
Bring out your competitive side and show your kids who drives better. At K1 Speed Puerto Rico, the whole family can race together in karting events that deliver plenty of adrenaline. It's a different kind of sport that kids tend to enjoy a lot. Who will win in your family?
Want to practice baseball? In Aguadilla there's a welcoming spot with everything you need to share those first swings with your kids. The facility has several rental sections. There's also a sporting goods store where you can find everything you need for the sport.
The Drop Club is the only place on the Island for indoor padel. The club's launch has been a hit with racket sports fans, since rain won't stop them from playing. The club also has 3 pickleball courts and La Pregunta Pickleball Store, the only pickleball equipment shop in Puerto Rico.
The west side has its first facility with a wide sports offering. At Epic you'll find beach volleyball, beach tennis, pickleball, 3×3 basketball and a flowrider (a surf simulator). Best of all, admission is free; you only pay to rent what you want to use. There's also an event room, a bar and food.
Riviera is one of the most attractive and complete sports complexes on the Island, alongside Eco's. You can play tennis, beach tennis and padel in a very family-friendly and safe setting. The tennis center also has an event room, a bar and a restaurant.
Aguadilla offers a new, lively option: roller skating. The former ice skating rink has been converted into a roller rink. The center also has food options, an arcade and an event room. Skating is a sport for all ages. The rink is considered the largest in the Caribbean.
If you'd rather not worry about the weather, this golf simulator has an indoor space where you can practice the sport with your family.
If you're a more extreme kind of parent, here's an option for you and the kids. While there are several skate parks around the Island, we chose Barceloneta for being one of the most complete. Here you can skateboard, rollerblade, scooter and ride bikes, all at no cost.
Staying with the more extreme sports, this one is for cycling parents. Monte Pirata in Cabo Rojo is one of the most striking places to ride through the hills, thanks to its ecological surroundings. Head to the southwest of the Island with your mountain bike for a great outdoor adventure.
There are several bowling alleys around the Island, but Caribe is a landmark in the sport. The center offers more than 18 lanes, along with a restaurant, an event room and parking.
