Rockwall, Texas is Full of Fun Activities 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 26, 2018) Rockwall, Texas is a beautiful city with reasonably priced homes, good schools and a lot of things to do. Since the summers are very hot here, I love to visit indoor theme parks in the summer such as Shenanigans. It has a lot to offer for a reasonable price. If you are an outdoor ...Read More s person that loves fishing, swimming, and water activities, then Lake Ray Hubbard has a lot to offer. The night cruise trips are a treat and a way to relax from the hustle and bustle of the week.

Rockwall is very clean and has a lot to offer. It was the best decision I made to move here because it not only is safe, but not as busy as other cities. One thing I look forward to is the Crystal Lagoon that is currently being developed in our neighboring city, Rowlett. It is a resort that will extend over 8 acres and will include shopping, hotels, beach activities, swimming and everything you can name. Rockwall is a wonderful place especially for those that enjoy having fun! Read Less
