The 25-meter pool, located adjacent to the Green Barn, features a beach entry, lap lanes and a splash-and-play area for kids. It is open to Carnes Crossroads residents and their guests, and is also the site of Aqua Zumba classes and select community events.

The trails at Carnes Crossroads present numerous options for fitness and recreation. Already, the community’s first trails connect the Green Barn, pool and Village Green to neighborhood streets and some of the community’s first businesses, and a “fitness loop” offers five exercise stations and 14 pieces of equipment that can be used for a wide variety of strength building, balance and cardiovascular exercises. As Carnes Crossroads grows, additional trails will connect to future neighborhoods, parks, businesses and amenities.

The Village Green is the community’s first park. Located between the Green Barn and and Model Row, the Village Green includes a fountain with seating, plus open areas that are perfect for picnics, lawn games and relaxing.

The first playground at Carnes Crossroads is located adjacent to the swimming pool and Village Green in St. Thomas Park. Featuring a barnyard theme with mini replica of the Green Barn as its centerpiece, the playground includes shaded sitting areas for parents.

Located on the greenway along Parish Farms Drive, the Dog Park at Carnes Crossroads is a convenient location for residents and their pets to mingle with the neighbors. Complete with a splash and play area, drinking fountains and separate agility stations for large and small dogs, the park also includes sitting areas for owners.

The master plan for Carnes Crossroads incorporates a series of large lakes that provide scenic views and opportunities for recreation, including paddling and fishing.
