At Tessa Matthews, summer is more than sunshine—it’s the perfect excuse to reconnect with the outdoors and your community. Whether you’re exploring nearby parks, picking up roller skating, or taking your lunch outside, there’s something refreshing about the slower rhythm of summer in Matthews NC. Best of all? When you’re not out enjoying the city, your home offers a resort-style experience with amenities that support every summer mood.
From the Awe-Inspiring Resident Clubhouse to the Resort-Style Swimming Pool and Sundeck, Outdoor Pavilion with a Summer Kitchen, and Dog Park with a Pet Spa, this is a place that makes it easy to enjoy the season both inside and out.
Glide into the Season with Skating
Roller skating is the kind of throwback activity that’s both fun and easy to pick up again. Take your skates to Squirrel Lake Park for a quiet spot to practice. With smooth paths, lake views, and plenty of room to move, it’s perfect for beginners or anyone just looking to cruise.
Early mornings or weekday evenings offer the best time to roll. Don’t forget your favorite playlist for a little extra motivation.
Plan a Picnic and Make It a Moment
Summer picnics hit different when the weather’s just right. Pack a light lunch and head to Four Mile Creek Greenway, which offers shady spots and scenic trails just minutes from home. Bring a friend, or go solo with a book and a cool drink.
No time to prep? Walk to Brakeman’s Coffee & Supply for an iced latte and a breakfast sandwich or pastry to-go. Their charming patio and local vibe make it a favorite for laid-back mornings or pre-picnic treats.
Go for a Walk and Clear Your Mind
Sometimes the best way to enjoy summer is just by moving. Stroll through Purser-Hulsey Park or the on-site Communal Park at Tessa Matthews for a peaceful break. Whether you’re walking your pup or simply stretching your legs, the key is slowing down.
You can also take advantage of the Resident Bike Storage and explore the nearby greenways on two wheels. It’s a fun way to see the neighborhood with a fresh perspective.
Take Your Yoga Flow Outside
Skip the studio and bring your yoga mat to the lawn at Squirrel Lake Park or your very own Communal Park. Whether you follow a video, stretch freely, or sit quietly under the trees, practicing outside adds something calm and grounding to your routine.
Not feeling active? Light a candle, make tea, and unwind later at Tessa Matthews’ Stylish Speakeasy and Lounge after a summer day well spent.
