Local parks and nearby beaches offer waterside recreation venues

There are plenty of places around if you want to get out for some fresh air. Aizenstat also says, “The beach is very close, you’re often only about 10 minutes away from the boardwalk,” with residents just minutes away from Loggia Beach Park. However, there are options close by, like the expansive 7-acre Waterways Park. The shaded playground area is great for a weekend outing with the kids, with several play structures that’ll keep them entertained for hours. You can get your steps in for the day along the fitness trail, which has two exercise stations. Dog parents can take their pups to make new friends at the Waterways Dog Park.
