Why Bay Island
A public lakefront park worth understanding before you go.
The City of Garland describes Windsurf Bay Park as 42.6 acres of shoreline with open space, fishing, picnic facilities, a pavilion, playground, sand volleyball, and half-court basketball. It is a public city park, not a Bay Island amenity.
The park currently keeps an unusual weekly schedule and is closed for part of the week and on holidays. Confirm the latest hours and conditions on Garland’s official facility page before planning a visit.

Ways to use Windsurf Bay Park thoughtfully.
Casual outdoor play
A small playground, half-court basketball area, and sand volleyball court add options beyond simply sitting by the water.
Fishing and shoreline time
Fishing is listed among the park features. Check Texas licensing requirements and current park conditions before casting.
Good to know
Keep public recreation and private community amenities clear.
Bay Island offers its own pool, sundeck, grounds, picnic area, and planned outdoor renewals. Windsurf Bay is a separate City of Garland park. That distinction matters: hours, closures, rules, maintenance, and access are controlled by the city rather than the apartment community.
