There is also a covered ramada with seating and a BBQ grill, which is also near the lake. Take advantage of the walking trails along the lake and throughout the neighborhood. There are also a couple of open fields of grass located throughout the community, which people use to play/exercise but is also used as a retention basin for excess storm water.
