Meadowbrook Golf Course occupies about 65 percent of the entire Creekside neighborhood. Meadowbrook is a lovely course established in 1926. In 2014, extensive flooding of the course caused Meadowbrook to close for renovation. The course is expected to reopen in 2017 with higher, drier, and reconfigured greens as well a plan for handling future flooding problems. Meadowbrook will feature an 18-hole, par 71 course, a driving range, and new clubhouse.

There is one park within the Creekside neighborhood. Meadowbrook Park is situated on Meadowbrook Lake. This park is a peaceful natural area featuring wetlands.
