The neighborhood sits close to Don Castro Regional Recreation Area, where residents can fish, hike, and picnic amid scenic ponds and forested trails. This proximity to nature, along with local spots like the Sulphur Creek Nature Center, draws outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the area’s natural beauty.
