With more than 4,126 acres to enjoy, it’s no wonder Daybreak residents always find something fun to do. Below is the original Top 10 list — kept in the same order as 2014 — refreshed for clarity and helpful links.
1) Explore Parks, Playgrounds & Pools
There are dozens of playful, creative parks and plenty of green space to explore. In Creekside Village, the new park features a zip line, a rock‑climbing area, and a real creek kids can wade in. During summer, cool off in the community’s two pools. Guest passes are available at the Daybreak Community Center. See more on the parks hub.
2) Hit the Trail
Run, stroll, or ride along 30+ miles of trail. Loop the shoreline or connect neighborhoods — the trail network serves up lake views that shine at sunset.
3) Spend the Day on the Lake
Oquirrh Lake is Daybreak’s defining feature — 67 acres of freshwater for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and sailing. If you live here, you can borrow a canoe or kayak for free (resident amenity). And yes, the lake is stocked for catch‑and‑release fishing.
4) SoDa Row
Meet up for lunch, shop local boutiques, or catch the game at a sports bar. Around 2014, Granato’s Deli opened, and Nest Boutique announced plans to open soon. Get the latest on the SoDa Row page.
5) Community Center
The Daybreak Community Center anchors fitness and fun. Try a Zumba class, meet with a trainer, hop on the treadmill, or use affordable Child Watch services (for residents).
6) Grow a Garden
Daybreak offers six community gardens with hundreds of plots. Plant veggies, swap tips with neighbors, and watch the ladybugs do their work. Learn more about gardens via the HOA’s Community Gardens page and our garden stories.
7) Join a Club
Resident‑run clubs abound — cooking classes, book clubs, wine tastings, and more. See what’s active through LiveDAYBREAK and the events calendar.
8) Sport Courts
Practice your free‑throw, set up a friendly match, or hit the tennis/pickleball courts. Many parks include basketball, volleyball, and tennis facilities. Start at the parks directory to find courts near you.
9) Community Events
LiveDAYBREAK packs the calendar with outdoor concerts, movie nights, festivals, and more — all designed to bring the community together. Check upcoming gatherings on the LiveDAYBREAK calendar or the Daybreak blog.
10) Explore the New Neighborhoods
