It doesn't even require creativity - I think many existing sports would be fun in low gravity. Basketball with extremely tall hoops. Tennis on a massive court. Not to mention golf.

Well, running on a flat surface is kinda hard in low g, so I guess you'd have to make some adjustments for that. But yeah basketball where players jump to the ceiling and then push of from the ceiling towards the floor could be quite crazy.

I'm kinda thinking handball would be insane, tho I wouldn't wanna be the goalie

Slamball would be a sight, that's all I can say.

Lunar no-atmo base jumping. See Mons Huygens as few have.

This is either suicide with extra steps, or loads of fun!

The line between those 2 is surprisingly thin!
