Services
There is a long history behind the location now known as the Sports Garden. For 20+ years, the North and the South sides of the street changed names, changed owners, competed against each other, and eventually came under one unified business. Many people met their spouses here. Anyone who has played any kind of competitive volleyball in DFW, has played at some point at this location.
There's no formula for success. No matter the company size, every company is unique and requires creative strategies that shape and ignite brand acceleration. With over 350 teams playing at our multi-purpose facility every week and over 40 weekend tournaments played every year, you can view us as a unique platform to help you communicate with some of the most vibrant and active residents of the DFW area.
With 1500+ people playing in our weekly leagues and tournaments we have the highest number of people playing volleyball in one place. Whether you are a pro or someone who has never played before, we offer opportunities for everyone to get involved! Open Play means anyone can come in during our open hours and play for $6 per person if and for as long as courts are available.
We host everything from sand volleyball tournaments to corporate team building activities, events ranging from private birthday parties to 1,000+ people business and church events. Your guests and your team will love you for bringing them to The Sports Garden where they can stay active in a casual atmosphere, work on their tan lines during the day or enjoy cocktails during the night on our outside patio deck.

I would give it 0 stars if I could. The place is worn down and the leagues are over priced. There is an awful sewage smell every time you go, clearly an issue they are choosing to ignore. The lack of communication and care about their participants is even worse. They would rather put players health at risk than cancel a game, unacceptable.

Randomly found this place yesterday and played open play with a few friends. Love the atmosphere, music, sand, and vibes all around.
The only thing I wish would improve would be the mosquito problem. Maybe add some mosquito lantern zappers or something. I would have stayed longer to play if i wasn't attacked and being eaten alive by those suckers.

I recently started coming here for volleyball and I've totally fallen in love with the place! The people are amazing, the vibe is fantastic and there's always something to do. My boyfriend originally dragged me out to play volleyball and now I'm constantly begging to go back. We play darts regularly and it's always a great time.

I wrote a review over a year ago and gave Sports Garden 3 stars. Since that time, the food not only didn't improve (new menu promised), but has gotten worse. The menu is not only very limited and unoriginal, but the quality is sub par.
This venue is a seasonal favorite for volleyball play. The rest of the year there used to be all sorts of events but the excellent event planner no longer works there. Bottom line: There is no reason to go to Sports Garden unless you are a regular or play volleyball during the season, or like watching an enormous TV screen. Oh...and there is a golf disc league

I chose this venue for my husband's surprise 40th birthday party. I initially contacted a few venues for pricing and availability, and DFW Sports Garden was the first to reply. They were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, and they were open to all my ideas for the event. They even helped me set up, created an awesome photo booth, and so much more. There was a ton of rain the week and day of our event, and the owners were extremely accommodating and flexible as we decided not to use the volleyball courts. The food was good, and all of our guests had a blast. There

Had a great time playing ping pong with my son. When he has fun and ask to come back.....5 stars. No food review because it was early Saturday and they don't have a lot of customers at thar time of day. Great guy behind the bar explained it's slow and dont have the grill going. Didn't come to eat anyway. Nice super large projection tv to watch winter Olympics. Staff was so friendly. Looking forward to come back and spike some volleyballs when it warms up.

I love the layout of the whole outdoor bar and patio: bar stools overlooking the courts, picnic tables spread throughout the sand, murals of flip flops, etc. It makes you feel like you're at a beach!
The inside needs some work. It's fun to play darts but overall it's dark and unfinished-looking, much less beachy and fun. Same with their extension on the south side of Belt Line.
My biggest complaint above all else, though, is that there was no way to get water outside of buying it in a bottle (at least in the southern courts). We're not supposed to bring our own water in, so

First, the air conditioner doesn't work inside so they have one huge fan in one corner that everyone hovers around... Second, this place is having a serious identity problem. Is it a teen hangout or a bar? We are watching 12 and 13 year-olds walking through the bar to the restroom barefoot in the world's smallest bikinis with old men leering at them. There are sand volleyball courts outside where the girls were playing and the girls would stand in line at the service bar for soda even though they had service outside. There are 14 year old boys playing ping pong hitting the patrons over

I was extremely disappointed with food and service. The staff was not welcoming or warm. The tables had a strong bleach smell. Just not what I expected.
The place was big with a few pool tables, darts and one ping pong table with a big bar inside. There was a small pool and the volleyball courts outside. The place looked cool outside and Im sure its alot cooler when its packed but it fell short for Me that first time I was there.

Fun place if you're with a large group. They have 12 volleyball courts and one pool. There is a bar in the main room as well as outside. The bar in the main room has a card area as well as pool tables. They do allow smoking. If you're not a fan, you should not stay indoor. Drinks are marginal at best. You have a choice among well drinks, cheap wine, and well drinks. Nothing exotic here. Just fun in the sun.

Playing volleyball in the sand is sooo much better than playing inside a gym. This place sure brings back junior high school memories for me. We may not have nice beaches here in Dallas but this place makes up for some part. I like that they open late especially the extended summer hours. They have a full bar inside with pool tables and darts. Plenty of activities to do. They also have an outside bar with mini swimming pool. As for the volleyball courts, there are plenty of open courts available on a first come first serve basis unless there's a tournament event. Other than that, bring your

I was invited by a friend of mine to come watch her play I love volleyball so one day I decided to go check her out. When I arrived to the place I thought it was odd, at some construction place really.... When I walked in a was surprised to see pool tables, darts, n a bar, music playing as I continue to walk out to the courts another outdoor bar good seating and a pool. I think it's about 10 courts and the sand feels great!!!
I met up with my girl Heather n got to meet the rest of the team lots of fun... I had so much fun I said I was coming back but then I was asked to play with them so

Ill admit I had my hand on my piece when I first drove up to this place.. looks like a murder warehouse out of a movie.
I was hella surprised when I walked into a beautiful tiki style bar with pool tables and large screens with the baseball game playing. Outside is a sandy oasis with 10 large courts, outdoor showers, another tiki bar and a shallow pool.
Make sure you grab a bucket of beer inside before you head to your court- there is usually only one waiter prancing around the courts. I've never had the food but I've seen bar staples- nachos, tacos, burgers and fries.

I really dig what they have going on here. Sand volleyball, bumpin' jamz, buckets of beers, and sometimes that scary competitive tall being spiking the ball towards your face.
I haven't come here on a warm day to enjoy the pool, but hopefully I'll get soon!! They have group rates and apparently it's free to play on Sundays.
I always look forward to coming here every week and will be sad when out league is over!
