Finding batting cages on the island is difficult, and in fact, I believe this is the only establishment that has them. Prices are reasonable, I think it's 20 pitches for a dollar, or something like that. The equipment is decent for the price. There is also a mini golf course that is OK, but not spectactular. Some areas are a little rough, but all in all, this is a fun place to spend an evening. Be sure to wear some off though as there is a mosquito haven off to the left.
Bottom Line: Fun place to spend a few hours without spending too many dollars.

Alright, this is the place to be for working out. The newly remodelled weight room offers weights for everyone, with plenty of cardio machines. There is a basketball court, swimming pool, sports field for softball and soccer, tennis courts and raquetball courts. During the appropriate seasons there are intramural sports leagues for soccer, basketball, flag football, etc. There is an outdoor track for those that want to run outside. Basically, if you want to do something, you can do it here.
Bottom Line: The place to get and stay in shape.

Located near the municipal golf course, this driving range is the perfect place to practice your shots before losing some money to your friends. After spending between $5-$10, depending on the size of your basket, you can hit towards the airpark until your heart's content. Granted, you'll never actually hit it far enough to get on the landing strip, it's always fun to try. For an added bonus, work on your pressure skills by hitting shots when small planes are landing in front of you.
Bottom Line: Inexpensive way to practice and spend an afternoon. Hit away....

Galveston doesn't have any professional sports, unless you head north about 55 miles. So what's left for the sports fan? How about some high school sports. Ball High can be fun during football and basketball season. There are some heated rivalries (i.e. La Marque) that offer a good show for a cheap price ($1-2). If you don't mind sitting with some rowdy high schoolers, go for it, it's a lot of fun.
Bottom Line: There's nothing quite like watching hungry high school football players giving it all they've got to win a rivalry.

Are you a fan of racket sports? Well, your only real choice is to join out at the Health and Racket club. There are leagues to join, clinics and private lessons to take part in, and a nice workout facility located inside. The courts are in good shape, and there's always someone around to hit with (as long as the temp is <100). You always have a great time, regardless of skill level.
Bottom Line: If you want to play racket sports, and not drive to Houston, this is the place to go.

The bowlling alley is just like any other bowling alley, complete with the odor of foot-stank and smoking. The equipment is in good condition, and although not the most modern of bowling alleys, still a great place to have some fun. Whether you're a pro, or just screwing around after knocking back a few at 21, you'll have a good time here. Food and bar services are offered if you want that sort of thing. Prices are good and most nights it's easy to get a lane. I believe there are leagues, but you'd have to contact the alley for more information on that.
Bottom Line: Good alley to kick back with friends and bowl a few frames.

Does anyone come to Galveston to play golf? Doubt it. However, if you're visiting, or if you live here, this municipal course is great! Set off of Stewart road near the airport, there are some well designed holes with water that really make you feel like you're at the beach. The front nine is not quite as challenging, or as interesting to look at, as the back nine, so remember that if you're on a time crunch. Otherwise, enjoy the scenery and try to keep it under 90.
Bottom Line: Great place to hit a few with some buddies. They offer a driving range and putting green to practice on as well.
