Rohini is a well planned subcity. It has two big Parks one of them is the Sector-9 District Park, and the other is Swaranjyanti Park (popularly known as the Japanese Park). The Japanese Park also has a small pond, and is a local attraction of sorts. In both the parks, residents can be seen performing Yoga, in groups, during morning and evening hours.

Apart from this Sector-9 also has a DDA Sports Complex, with facilities like Swimming Pool, Indoor Badminton courts, Cricket Ground, TT courts, Lawn Tennis courts, Gymnasium, Squash courts, Billiards tables, and a Skating rink. Which is accessible to both members and non-members for a small fee.
