PICNICS, PARKS, PICKLEBALL & PLENTY OF FUN IN ENNIS!
Nothing says Summer in Texas like dining al fresco with a
classic picnic, and Ennis has perfect places to enjoy! Stop by the
Bluebonnet Market for some fresh produce, artisanal pickles
and plenty of other treats to put together a divine spread, or let
someone else do the work by picking up something delicious
to-go from one of our numerous charming restaurants.
Picturesque Parks Once your meal is prepared,
discover Ennis’ picturesque parks for an idyllic outdoor dining
experience. Enjoy a serene waterside view at Bluebonnet Park
or Lions Park, which also features a StoryWalk. For those
seeking more activity, Rotary Park features four brand new
pickleball courts, basketball courts, a walking trail, fitness
court, splash pad, play equipment and sand volleyball — truly
something for everyone!
Family-Friendly Activities Beyond our
beautiful parks, Ennis offers plenty of family-friendly activities
throughout the summer. From Saturday mornings at Minnie
McDowal Park to the lively Summer in the Park series, there’s
no shortage of entertainment. Cool off with a live show at Ennis
Public Theatre or Theatre Rocks, or catch a movie under the
stars at the Galaxy Drive-In Theatre.
Special Events As summer winds down, anticipate
exciting upcoming events like Blues on Main from August 31st
to September 1st and Ennis Autumn Daze on October 25th-
27th.
