Ashburn Village has four recreation centers and five swimming pools, four outdoor and one indoor. Its largest recreation center is the Ashburn Village Sports Pavilion, located in the center of the community. The Pavilion contains a full size gymnasium, weight rooms, and enclosed tennis courts. There are also fitness classes and events held there.

Ashburn Village contains a large shopping center with restaurants, an anchor grocery store and numerous other retail outlets. It is also located close to two shopping malls, Dulles Town Center and the Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets.

The development has eight artificial ponds, which provide habitat for heron, geese and ducks.[1] The largest, Pavilion Lake, is fed by Beaverdam Creek. Stormwater from Ashburn Village drains to Russell Branch and Beaverdam Creek.[2]

In the early teens, pollinator gardens were planted around Tippecanoe, Ashburn and Beech Lakes by a local native-plants gardener.[3] The Tippecanoe garden won the county's design award for public spaces in 2018.[4]
